ROSE/YARN m. 1873 Rose Blanche, Newfoundland

I am trying to find more information on my ancestors, John Rose and Elizabeth Yarn, who married 7 January 1873 in Rose Blanche, Newfoundland at Saint Michael and All Angels Church. They had 6 children: Mary, John, Minney, Bertha, Thomas William, and Martha. According to census records, John was a fisherman in 1875, but by 1900 was a lighthouse keeper.

From what I have been able to find so far, daughters Mary, Bertha and Martha did not marry or have children. Minney married twice, first to Duncan MacAuley, then to Arthur Davis. At some point in her adult life, Minney moved to western Canada (possibly Edmonton). Son John married Annie (surname unknown), while Thomas William married Alice Cox 10 December 1900, also in Rose Blanche, at the same church where his parents were married.

Any information on this family, their ancestors, or descendants would be greatly appreciated.
