Arnold Family - Lower Sackville

jostubbs — 2013-05-20 13:29:22Z

My husband is looking for his birth family and I am trying to get in touch with a Kevin Arnold who I believe lives in Lower Sackville. Kevin also has two older brothers who live in Australia - Philip and Alan. I believe Philip was born in 1953 as the oldest and Kevin is the youngest born about 1965? His birth mother is Sylvia Blanche Arnold and father is unknown.

Many thanks!

If anyone has any pictures I would love to see them! My grandmother grew up in an orphanage in Bible Hill. So did her sister. Their lastnames were Ross. My grandmother was born in 1919 and I believe she was in there until around 1937. It is my life long wish to visit Bible Hill. Hopefully I will make it there one day!

Is the building at this address pre-1900? Trying to find existing buildings where ancestors once lived to see if trip to Halifax would be useful. Thank you.

Bank of Nova Scotia from 1856-57, built by Robert Davis

jayneedmonton — 2013-05-11 23:26:57Z

Does this building still exist on Hollis Street? From descriptions, I think it was near Province House. This is NOT the Art Deco building from 1931 at 1709 Hollis Street.
Trying to decide if a trip to Halifax from Vancouver would be useful to get some jpgs of locations associated with ancestors.

Re: Elizabeth Jane Horne

cathycoomber — 2013-05-07 15:44:09Z

Hi John
Thank you so much for replying.
Yes I found the marriage for Elizabeth Jane Horne & William Alexander Brown, but thank you for the link, that is the book I was talking about. I did send for it thinking I would get a marriage certificate but as it shows you is how it came, I don't know when Canada started producing marriage certificates.
The only concrete information I have is a very small family tree that was done for my brother which gives Elizabeth & William full names and a Baptism Certificate for their son Ernest Herbert Brown born in Halifax NS. Which is why I looked for them marrying in Canada.
I also have a medal of Williams with his name, number & regiment on it, and I found his pension records on Find my Past which says when he was sent to Canada and when he returns back home and everything fits in nicely.
But that is all I have. I cannot find anything on Elizabeth Jane Horne & family in Canada and William has totally thrown me showing up with the father named Frank as I thought his fathers name was Joseph and have some information about Joseph but cant find him with a son William Alexander but he does have a son William Daniel Brown. Sorry I am going off track now.
As I say I cannot find anything on the Horne family in Canada at all. someone said Elizabeth could have come to England on a troop ship with William in which case they would not show up on passenger lists.
Any help would be really appreciated and I will go into your link and have a look. Bit stressed at the mo as my Uncle in hospital with broken hip.
Thanks again John

Hi Paul, I believe we have corresponded in the past, Mary and James Thomson definitely no P were my great grandparents. My father was the eldest grandson, his mother was Delia Elizabeth Thomson, Aka Bessie,born in Chatham NB, she married William Henry Davies. My father was John Marquis Davies. My family tree is coming along nicely, when I have time, I can invite you to view it if you wish.Many of the pictures I received from you.
My Dad's first cousin is a PHD of History, lives in the UK and has written numerous History books pertaining to the immigration of Scots to Canada. Her name is Lucille Campey nee Thomson.

Probably if she came to England with William it would have been on a troopship & I doubt there are incoming passenger lists for such ships.

Re: Elizabeth Jane Horne

jgcordes — 2013-05-05 13:20:09Z

Hello Cathy,

You may already be aware of this but thought I'd point it out anyway. The 1873 marriage of Elizabeth Jane Horne and William Alexander Brown appears in the online database of Nova Scotia Historical Vital Statistics:
https://www.novascotiagenealogy.com/ItemView.aspx?ImageFile=...

with the details you mentioned (father Isaac a sea captain witness Ella Amelia Horne, etc.); her mother is stated to be Eliza. I have not found the source you mention on Ancestry -- can you tell some more detail on what this "book" is? Thanks.

I have some notes on various branches of the HORNE families in Eastern Passage, Nova Scotia. There is an Isaac Horne m(1) Mary Townsend and m(2) Elizabeth Myers. However, I don't have Elizabeth Jane among their children (but it is certainly a possibility; my file is far from exhaustive).

ruggles49 — 2013-05-03 17:09:03Z

My family was from Nova Scotia is the one mentioned in the thread you responded to (and where I found your email). Our Susan Killen had the middle initial W. I am not sure what that stood for. She lived 1853-1888 and was married to George Washington Ogilvie so I don’t see a match.

Coincidently, I have been helping a friend trace his heritage and he has roots from Jasper Cty, MS through the Tiner and Sims families. I noticed that there were Killens there and wondered if there would be any connection to my family. Is that the region you live?

She married William Alexander Brown born abt 1844 Coventry, Warwickshire, England.
William joined the Army in England and was in the A. H. Corps. number 1562 and he was sent with the Army to Halifax, Nova Scotia in 1871 until 1877.
Elizabeth and William married 8 Dec 1873 Halifax N/S. Elizabeth's Father Isaac Horne a Sea Captain, one of the witness Ella Amelia Horne. I have found this marriage on Ancestry but it is only in a book and quite difficult to read, I sent for this thinking I would get a marriage certificate but just got the book page.
They then had a son on 21 Dec 1873 my Grandfather Ernest Herbert Browne in Halifax N/S. Again in a book but can only see surname.
I find Elizabeth Browne Nee Horne on the 1881 England Census living Farnborough, Hampshire, at North Camp, Soldiers Wife then again in 1891 in Greenwich, London, England Census.
Other then this I can find no other information, no birth, no family on Canadian census, no incoming passenger list to England for her and her son.
Can any one help me as to how I can find any information on her and her family as they are my Gt Gt Grandparents and I would so love to be able to know about them all. I have searched for a long time on Ancestry and Family Search and cannot find anything.
I would appreciate any help any one could give me.

I realize this is a very old thread, but I am looking for documentation on two sons of Edward Day and Catherine Wolfe (or De Wolfe?) that are mentioned here.
William Henry Day b Sep 1 1852 and Edward Joseph Day (1859-1950). Who has sources for this information?
I am trying to untangle the origins of Days of Nova Scotia who later moved to Boston, the children of William Henry Day. I believe my Days are related, descended from a Joseph Day, who may be the Edward Joseph mentioned here.

we think it was the Tweed too:

1802 70 Sutherland families were sent on The Tweed, of Ullapool to Pictou and a further 500 followed on The Favourite, of Kirkaldy in 1803. The Sutherlanders founded the Mill Brook and New Lairg 20 miles up the Middle River from Pictou Harbour.

Re: Murrays from halifax

Hi - Donald would be my 3x great grandfather
There were a lot of Mathesons but when I went to the Hector Archives in Pictou, I made the following notes:
Donald Matheson`s mother was Widow Matheson. She arrived in Nova Scotia in 1802 from Scotland - per the Dictionary of Scottish Emigrants to Nova Scotia obtained from a copy at the Hector Archive copied during David Arnold visit in August 2011. Probably from Lairg, Sutherland, Scotland per same document. Donald Matheson Death Certificate documents his parents names as Niel and Isabell Matheson.
Also the people there suggested the following:
Isabella (maiden name unknown)Matheson was widowed and sailed from Ullapool, Scotland for Nova Scotia in 1802. Probably sailed into Pictou Harbor, Pictou, Nova Scotia, Canada.
Donald Matheson`s mother was Widow Matheson. She arrived in Nova Scotia in 1802 from Scotland - per the Dictionary of Scottish Emigrants to Nova Scotia obtained from a copy at the Hector Archive copied during David Arnold visit in August 2011.
Donald Matheson Death Certificate documents his parents names as Niel and Isabell Matheson.
Possible Ship: Tweed of Ullapool, 75 tons, from Isle Martin to Pictou, Nova Scotia, with 70 passengers, from Sutherland, 1802. [NLS. MS9646]
Year:1802.Reference:MS.9646. Description:
'Emigration from the Scottish Highlands and Isles', a long essay (318 pp.) by Edward S. Fraser of Reelig (Invernesshire). Includes (pp.19-23) ship lists, said to be drawn from 'official accounts', of emigrant voyages from Scottish ports to Pictou, Baltimore, Quebec for Upper Canada, North Carolina, and Cape Breton Island (1801-2): written ca. Dec. 1802.

Re: WILL DO LOOKUPS IN HALIFAX

averilmarshall1 — 2013-04-25 10:39:10Z

Hi Chris
Are you still doing look ups in Halifax.
I am trying to find living relatives of of my Great Grandfather Frederick James Hamilton b 1847 in Halifax NS.
I'd also love to know where we was originally from, either Africa or perhaps Jamaica.
His parents are believed to be Thomas Hamilton and Isabella Brown.
We originally thought Thomas was a slave in the south but the dates don;t seem to fit this theory. I have also heard of a Thomas Hamilton born in 1797 in Truro but I'm not sure if this is an area where coloured families lived.
Frederick left Canada for the UK in his late teens then ended up here in Australia where he married in 1879.
I hope you can help.

Re: Rogers & Benoit from Pomquet to New York City

lpatanjo — 2013-04-20 14:29:40Z

It is interesting. I have information on my grandfather's brothers and sister and their families but not on the rest of the family. Although I am told by relatives that my grandmother who was born here sponsored a number of the Rogers when they came to America. I am taking a trip up to the Pomquet area this summer to see the area and hopefully find more info. I know there are some Rogers still there.

Re: Rogers & Benoit from Pomquet to New York City

mrmkirsch — 2013-04-20 00:02:52Z

I find the New York connection interesting.

My GG grandfather emigrated from Pomquet, N.S. to New York City, married Thirza (Theresa) Collins, and had four children. The family resided in NYC until about 1892. I found evidence that my GG grandfather traveled back to N.S. in 1892, likely due to his father's death. In the late 1890s, the eldest son moved to San Francisco; subsequently the three siblings also moved to California. Eventually, my GG grandfather moved to California and lived with his eldest son and family until his death. I've never found any evidence of what became of my GG Grandmother Thirza Collins Rogers.

My mother told a story of traveling to New York as a young child to visit relatives there. She said there were two cousins, adult women, who lived together in an apartment that had a pullman kitchen separated from the main living space by a curtain; this impressed my mother who was a young child—she thought it was very "classy." Hence the reason she was able to remember that aspect of the trip.

Given that my grandparents visited relatives in NYC, it is very likely there were many Rogers relatives who emigrated from Nova Scotia to New York City and raised families there.

I know of two child noted in an earlier post, Alfred and Norman, who were listed as living with my GG Grandparents in NYC during one of the censuses. Alas, I never found evidence of them in any later censuses.

By going back and forth across the census records with any additional information you glean, you may ultimately be able to connect some of the ancestors from Nova Scotia who are documented as having been born but have no other information after they left N.S. My GG Grandfather was one of those "missing" descendants.

Re: Rogers & Benoit from Pomquet to New York City

lpatanjo — 2013-04-19 23:10:06Z

So I guess we are related. James was my great grandfather. I also have his birth as 1853 (no exact date). I do know from a cousin that he died Nov.1, 1918 in an auto accident.

Re: Rogers & Benoit from Pomquet to New York City

mrmkirsch — 2013-04-19 21:15:38Z

My genealogy software says that James Rogers (b. ~1853) was my 3x Great Uncle; that makes Fermin (Freeman) also my 3x Great Uncle. That makes their descendants my cousins to some degree or other.

Re: Rogers & Benoit from Pomquet to New York City

lpatanjo — 2013-04-19 15:45:46Z

Thanks for the reply. It was extremely helpful to me. I had thought Freeman was a brother to James but never knew the other children. I also heard that three of the brothers married three Morrell sister. This gives me more to go on.

Re: Rogers & Benoit from Pomquet to New York City

mrmkirsch — 2013-04-19 15:10:01Z

The records I have, provided by a cousin (James Delorey), show Augustus Rogers (1807) married Marie Benoit in 1831. Their children were:
John
Abraham—likely my 3x great grandfather
Marion (1861)
Fermin [Freeman] (1833)
Marguerite (1835)
Moise (1843)
Marcella (1844)
Augustus (1873)
James (1853) married Josephine Morrell in 1876
— Children: Lewis, James, Josephine, Alfred, Jeffrey, John, William, Edward
Jeffrey (1855

It does appear that we are descendants from the same family tree.

Perhaps of James Delorey is still following this board he will contact you.

Re: Rogers & Benoit from Pomquet to New York City

lpatanjo — 2013-04-19 14:55:32Z

I don't have a list of all the children of Augustus Rogers and Marie Benoit but I believe my great great grandfather James Rogers was their son also. He was born in 1853 in Frasier Grant and died in 1876.

Re: Rogers & Benoit from Pomquet to New York City

lpatanjo — 2013-04-19 14:45:47Z

I know this is an old post but I just started my search. My Great great grandparents were Marie Benoit and James Rogers. I don't know about their other children but my great grandfather was James Rogers born in 1853. He married Josephine Morell and had 5 children born in Nova Scotia, some in Heatherton. Then the family moved to New York City where they had 4 more children. Perhaps he is Freeman's brother. Do you think so?

Amy's death certificate does answer both those questions. It states she was buried in Westphal NS and that they had a son Vincent.

Another question was:
"Did Arthur and Margaret have a daughter named Bessie Elizabeth or is she the daughter of Arthur and Amy?"

Bessie Elizabeth's marriage certificate states that her parents are Arthur and Margaret and her age shows she was born several years before the marriage of Arthur and Amy.

If the above information didn't answer some of the questions you asked, perhaps you should be more precise in how you formulate your questions.

Thanks for your response BurdetteU but the questions I have are not answered by the information available online at the Nova Scotia Archives.

This is not a family that I am researching but you can find some of the information you are looking for on the Nova Scotia Vital Stat site. It is free and maintained by the Nova Scotia Archives. You may need to download a viewer program which is free onsite to see the actual record.

For instance Amy's death certificate is there and the informant on it is her son Vincent. Also Bessie's marriage certificate is there and she gives her parents as Arthur and Margaret.

Hello,

Unfortunately, I do not know Anna Sophia's parents or grandparents but she is my 5th great-grandmother. So, if you find anything, please let me know.
