I have hit a wall and am looking for parents, birth date and location, or any clues as to the origin of this Martin Metcalfe.
Here is what I know:
Born 1851. Birth year is taken from headstone. I have no knowledge of his birthplace or any records prior to the birth of the first child.
Married Melissa PYNN 1857-1946 of Quirpon, NL, circa 1880 in Quirpon, NL - time frame estimated based on birth of first child. I have not located any other METCALFEs in Quirpon or surrounding area.
Worked as a miner in Pilley's Island mine at circa 1895, Pilley's Island, NL.
Died January 1, 1915. Buried in Pilley's Island Salvation Army cemetery.
Martin and Melissa had the following children:
George William 1880-1883, buried in Quirpon
Ella May 1882-1911, buried in Pilley's Island
Albert 1884-1967 (my g grandfather) buried in Glace Bay NS. Birthplace listed as "French Shore", probably in Quirpon.
Bertha 1885-?
Anne Alice 1892-?
Edgar James 1894-?
Flora Bell 1896-?
George 1909-?
