Coombs/Lavhey

Hi, I am wondering if anyone has any information on Grace Lavhey who married Samuel Coombs of Terrenceville. She was born around the 1850's. We are trying to continue our family tree and have gotten stuck on her parents, her fathers name is Lewis Lavhey, but we only have the first name of her mother which was Elizabeth. any help would be appreciated.

Hi There,
My Fiance is a Lavhey. His ancestor Henry Lavhey appears to have been born around 1846 and would have been Grace's brother. I have also been unable to find any further information on the family past Lewis and Elizabeth.
Please let me know if you have had any further success since this posting.

Thanks so much,
Kelly Linton (soon to be Lavhey)

Hi,
I have found a few posts on other websites claiming that Lewis Lavhey's wife was a mi'kmac woman named Elisabeth Beguiddavalo. I have not been able to solidly confirm that yet. I am beginning to wonder, based on the very limited number of Lavhey's there are, and the fact that there is no "true" origin of the family name that perhaps they were once "Lavallee", french acadian settlers to Newfoundland.
