Hello, I was looking for some information about Benjamin Strickland born 1879 in Burgeo. He married Margaret Melbourne born 1889 in Cinque Cerf. I can find him in the census records for Burgeo (1921,1935,1945) but after that i cant find nothing. The info Iam looking for is who was his parents, did he have any brothers or sisters. So if anyone has any information on who Benjamin Stricklands parents was please let me know. crs79@live.com

Hi, Benjamin was also my great grandfather. He was married to Rebecca 'Margaret' Melbourne from cinque cerf, born to William and Susannah Melbourne on July 18' 1880.
From what my uncle Ben told me Margaret was full Mikmaq but I havent found any evidence on the paper trail. Do you have any further info Gerri.

What about yourself, I assume we are distant cousins. Albert William Strickland was my grandfather.

Hi, Benjamin Strickland and Rebecca Margaret Melbourne were also my great grandparents. Albert William Strickland was my grandfather.

From what my Uncle Ben Strickland told me, she was Mikmaq from Cinq Cerf, born July 18, 1880. I have records of her baptism. There is also a photo of Benjamin and Rebecca Margaret's headstone on line.
Her parents were William and Susannah Melbourne. I am unsure of Benjamin's parents.

It may be Jojn Strickland


The Strickland name originates in England.

If you have further information I'd love to read it over. I will try to get my uncles info, he has passed on, so I'll have to track it down.

I guess we are cousins of sort since we share great grandfathers. How cool is that!
