My great grandmother, Elizabeth (Mary) Hatfield supposedly went to live with her sister Serena Sims and her husband Joe. Elizabeth became pregnant (supposedly by Joe) and had a daughter Serena Winifred Sims abt 1907 in Nova Scotia. She then went to live with a family named Clark, pob. in Yarmouth. She was married in Yarmouth, 5 June 1909, to Owen Martin Ball born about may 1886. She was called Eliza Clark at marriage and had supposedly lived with a Marguerite Clark. Witnesses at marriage Mrs. S. Sims & Mrs. Walter Graham.
She and Owen eventually came to New Hampshire with 3 daughters. I would love any info. on any of the above families. Thanks, Andrea Calef Rowell
