Re: River Hebert and Joggins - Photos of Family/Homes

nanwel — 2013-05-10 18:42:42Z

My great grandfather,Edward Landry, worked in the coal mines of Joggins and River Hebert. I have an awesome picture, it is on cardboard, of Edward with a bunch of his co workers in the mine. I would love to know which mine and especially share the picture with anyone that may have an ancestor in the picture. It was taken sometime between 1900 and 1915?

Judy,
I found your post while I was looking on the internet for Mines in Joggins and River Hebert. My great grandfather, Edward Landry born in Memramcook married in Joggins, was a miner and I have this beautiful picture of him with his fellow miners taken between 1900-1910 ( the year span is just a guess as he married my great grandmother Alice Burke in 1907)I have been trying to find out which mine this was and if I could find any other people that may have an ancestor in this picture.

I have Victoire Fougère with her parents in the 1891 census. It is indicated that she is 7 years old which would put the date of birth around 1874. Her parents are listed as Ferdinand Fougère age 35 (born about 1846) and Élisabeth Fougère age 30 (born about 1851). They were in household no 88 Shediac Westmorland Co. NB.

http://www.lac-bac.gc.ca/databases/census-1891/001081-119.02...

I have found Élisabeth Fougère's death information at the NB Archives on-line. She died in Shediac NB on February 14, 1946. According to the information she was 92 years old being born in 1854. Her husband Ferdinand is deceased. Her parents are listed as Marin Cormier and Lucie Collette.

http://archives.gnb.ca/Search/VISSE/141C5.aspx?culture=fr-CA...

Isabelle is often used instead of Élisabeth in French. There is an Isabelle Cormier born in Bouctouche NB on March 19, 1856 to Marin Cormier & Marie-Luce Collette. The godparents are Denis Léger & Scholastique Cormier. (1)

Marin Cormier married Luce Collette in Bouctouche on October 18, 1841. No parents are listed. The witnesses were Maximin Collette & George Collette. (2)

Also, I have found at the NB Archives the death information for Ferdinand Fougère. He died in Shediac on September 19, 1942. His parents are listed as Thomas Fougère & Henriette Petitpas.

http://archives.gnb.ca/Search/VISSE/141C5.aspx?culture=fr-CA...

Thomas Fougère (Honoré Fougère & Madeleine Bellefontaine) married Herniette Petitpas (Nicholas Petitpas & Apolonie Vautour) in Grande-Digue NB on October 28, 1844. Witnesses were Honoré Fougère - father of the groom & Nicholas Petitpas - father of the bride. (3)

Re: Westchester Loyalists

bnorthan — 2013-04-24 03:38:44Z

Back in 1996, I was sent a typed copy of this return. I was told it is in the Public Archives of Nova Scotia. On the copy is typed Akins Collection Volume 359 Document No. 68. There are some possibly partial handwritten notes
M(G?) 100x,
vol 17x
no 12
where x = possibly an additional number

It may be filed under Loyalists.

Westchester Loyalists

gspittman1 — 2013-04-23 18:22:38Z

On the Cumberland County GenWeb site, there's an item labeled "Westchester Loyalists, October 15, 1784 Return". Was that an official census? I'd like to locate the original, and I've looked at the Nova Scotia Archives site and can find no mention of it. Can anyone tell me exactly what that was or a source for it?

Alice Melinda Ripley Springhill or Wolfville church soloist around 1910

imalloryb — 2013-03-17 20:01:28Z

Hi there,
I'm trying to fill in some of the details on a story my grandmother Alice Melinda Ripley told me. She had a beautiful singing voice and often sang for special occasions like weddings and funerals. She told me that as a young girl (probably between 1908-1914) she would travel to Parrsboro (likely by horse) and then take the ferry across to Wolfville to sing in the church there. She was born in Maccan but living in Springhill with her sister Emma Ripey Langille in 1911. She was a Methodist but the Langilles were Presbyterian. It's likely that she traveled on the Prince Albert ferry across the bay. Any hints on how I could go about finding out more about the ferry or the Methodist churches in Wolfville or Springhill or accounts of weddings where she might be mentioned? Thanks, Mallory

oldmedico — 2013-03-16 19:29:01Z

I would very much appreciate a photo of the tombstones of:

Robert Stewart, who died 4 April 1873 in Wallace.

He is known to be buried in the United Church Cemetery, and i have been given the wording of his stone. I would very much like to have an actual photo of it.

Ann or Anna Stewart, who died on 25 Sep 1865 in Wallace. She was Robert's wife, and i have not ever had ay information on her tombstone.

Thank you.

Catherine/Katherine McLennan, born abt 1800-1815

oldmedico — 2013-03-16 19:23:42Z

I am searching for any information concerning Catherine McLennan, who married James Stewart about 1830 in either Cumberland or Pictou Counties.

She and James had 3 children baptized in the Presbyterian church at Wallace, and at least one child that is NOT listed in those records (the minister had returned to Scotland, and took all of the church records with him).

Known children were:

John Stewart, born 4 Nov 1831, Oak Island, Cumberland Co., NS, bap. 3 Feb 1833 in Wallace, Cumberland Co., NS, died between 1891-1901.

Charles Augustus Stewart, b. 23 Aug 1835, Oak Island, Cumberland Co., NS; bap. 2 Feb 1836, Wallace, Cumberland Co., NS; died, 9 Jun 1900, North Wallace, Cumberland Co., NS

Peter Stewart, b. 6 Jun 1837, Wallace, Cumberland Co., NS; bap. 25 Jul 1838, Wallace, Cumberland Co, NS, died 1920, Pugwash, Cumberland Co., NS

Ann Stewart, b. abt 1841 (prob. at Fox Harbour), Cumberland Co., NS; d. 25 Apr 1866, Wallace, Cumberland Co., NS

ANY information regarding her parents/siblings, and of any other children that she may have had would be greatly appreciated.

I descend from her son, Charles Augustus Stewart, and have most of his descendants. I would be more than willing to share any information.

Re: Mary Ann and Lorenzo Carson (nee Hunter)

booreid — 2013-03-07 01:38:59Z

Hi Arthur I responded to both you and KatNS privately. There is some confusion being caused by the marriage registration book at the Cumberland County Museum. I called for my mother and they don't seem interested. Clarke had a brother Charles. There are other Minnie's I believe in the Oulton clan but how this got registered this way I just don't know. I would expect them to put a note at least beside the entry!

Re: Mary Ann and Lorenzo Carson (nee Hunter)

arthurowen — 2013-03-06 20:33:54Z

I bit late to this conversation, but Minnie's paternal grandmother was Phoebe Goodwin whose mother was Elizabeth Chappell, brother of Charles Chappell (see http://ourmaritimeties.com/tng/pedigree.php?personID=I1526&a...).
I believe we corresponded before, but notice I have no birth/marriage/death dates/places for Clarke Hunter. Nor do I have his parents. Do you know where Minnie was born or died? I have her dates, but not places. Any of this information or other updates on descendants of Minnie and Clarke that you can provide would be appreciated.

Re: Mary Ann and Lorenzo Carson (nee Hunter)

booreid — 2013-03-06 00:29:04Z

Hi Kate I think I had sent you other messages but can't remember what about at this moment. I would like to know exactly who you are. booreid@nb.sympatico.ca will find me! So Clarke my great grandfather's father John is a brother to your great grandmother! I don't understand the connection with Minnie B. Oulton, that is her maiden mane so how was she a sister to a guy called Charles Chappell? Loretta died 8th of June 1980. No need to go to the libary over this bunch (Clarke and down to me). I'll be your source. My Mom is still alive and so I thought I should do the family tree for myself before we lose any more of our elders.

Re: Obits,Scott, MacMannan & Hunter

KatNS — 2013-03-05 23:50:42Z

Nova Scotia website has them both passing away in March 1918, Catherine on March 28, 1918, and John on March 21, 1918.

Re: Mary Ann and Lorenzo Carson (nee Hunter)

KatNS — 2013-03-05 23:31:14Z

Thanks, I am going to see if I can find their obituary the next time I go to the library. Do you have the full death date for Loretta, sister to Mary?

Clarke T. Hunter's father John was a brother to my great grandmother, Lily. And Minnie B. Oulton great grandmother is a sister to my 4th great grandfather Charles Chappell. So Mary Ann is my 2nd cousin twice removed, and my 4th cousin twice removed.

Re: Hayman, Hyndman, Amon

jonathan_cameron — 2013-03-05 19:04:15Z

Peter Montgomery died at Trenton, Pictou county on 04 Aug 1913. The informant is unknown in my family tree so there are a few suspect entries, namely that he was single. Might have been separated but was more likely was at Trenton for work, sending money back to Frances at Bass River.

Considering Peter, a Roman Catholic, was supposed to be buried at Bass River where Frances Ellen Hayman/Hyndman lived near her brother, Eri Sylvester Hyndman and father, William Hyndman (Methodist) who died in 1912, there may be an undocumented family plot near Bass River. Failing that, I'd suggest checking the RC cemeteries near Trenton.

HI,
I did the research for a friend of mine and passed it on. I was never able to prove that the Donald M Bruce (born c. 1840) who was supposedly from Pictou County, Nova Scotia and who married Elizabeth Sinclair of Rusagonis NB in 1870 was one of the Bruces from Barney's River. The name Donald Allison Bruce was passed on to subsequent generations. Donald was a miner and a mine inspector and was supposed to have died in a mine explosion in NB around 1884/1885.

John and Christina could be buried in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. They had at least 5 sons and 3 daughters. The sons are Murdock, Christopher, Alexander, John, and Roderick. The daughters are Annie, Elizabeth, and Mary.

Murdock, Christopher, Elizabeth, and Annie are buried in the Lorneville Cemetery, Cumberland County, Nova Scotia. Alexander is buried in Northport Cemetery, Cumberland County, NS. In 1908, when Elizabeth died, Roderick was living on the homestead in Cape Breton, NS, and John was in Washington, USA.

Alexander (son of Murdock) and his wife Charlotte J. Oulton had three children, all deceased now. Gladys Isabell Beaton, Ross Whitmore Beaton and Russell Eugene Beaton. Gladys had five children, Ross had step-children, and Russel had four children.

I want to piece this puzzle together. If anyone can help out at all, it will be very much appreciated. Thanks in Advance.

Hooper ,Thomas, & James KING. Then there were Titus TRalph, George, Thomas, James, Wilbert THOMPSON on map from 1820.These men are of interest to me . Does anyone know of researchers of these men?

I am looking for a family burial site on the Nova Scotia Farm of E. Barker Taylor. The census of Canada in 1871 tells me they were in the Cumberland district 198, Division 02, subdistrict Amherst. There was Barker and wife Jane Taylor and 11 children. My Great grandfather W.F. Taylor was the oldest child born in Cumberland in Feb 1847.
Thank you for any information of gravesites for this family.
