I am trying to find more information on my Great Grandparents who lived in St. John's Newfoundland. Peter Ellard was b. 1815 in Ireland and died abt. 1865 in St. John's, NFL. His wife was Johanna Fleming b. 1810 in St. John's and she died 11 Dec 1897 in Boston, MA. They had the following children: Lawence Ellard, b. 1838, Augustine Ellard b. 1840, Nicholas Ellard, b. 1842 in NFL died 1891 in Boston, MA, Mary Ellard, b. 1845, Thomas P. Ellard, b. 1846, Annie F. Ellard , b. 1849, died 1899 in Boston, Peter Ellard b. 1851, Johanna Joseph Ellard, b. 1853, Catherine Ellard, b. 1854, died 1892 in Boston, Elizabeth Ellard, b. 1854 died 1892, Edward Joseph Ellard, b. 1857. All children were born in St. John's, Newfoundland. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can find out more information about this family during their time in Newfoundland, Canada?? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. If anyone on this list is researching this family any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

There was a Peter Ellard who lived in Torbay, Newfoundland on what was known as Bulger's (or Bolger's) Farm Road, later know as Quarry Road. There was also a Mary Ellard in the same area, adjoining property, who married a John Lees. Mary and John had a child Susannah who married James Smart (m. 1882) Peter petitioned the Newfoundland government in 1871 and 1872 to upgrade the road leading to his farm. The road was known and still is called Ellard's Lane.

Thank you so much for the information confirming that a Peter Ellard lived in Newfoundland and that there is still a road called Ellard's Lane. I will have to do some research and see if Mary Ellard who married John Lees was related.
