Surnames: Mosher, Scott, Smith
According to 'Chronological History of the Mosher Family' by William Mosher of Mosherville, Hants County:
"George Mosher, of Joseph and Lydia, married Mary O. Smith, by whom he had Emeline, Otis B., Lydian Elvira, Whidden, and Blanche. Above George is a carpenter and spar-maker."
Then...
"Otis B. Mosher, of George and Mary O., married Mary Alice Scott and had one son, Harry Otis. Otis B. is a house builder in Boston."
Then...
"Lydia Elvira Mosher, of George and Mary O., married J. Ambrose Brennan, 30th October, 1890. They reside at Jamaica Plains, Mass."

So, I guess Otis and Elvira were brother and sister in that photo.

Hi Ginny,
Thank you very much on Otis and Elvira's identity. Do you know off hand if the MacDonald's, Moxon's, Mosher's and Fraser's were family. I know that there was a lot of ship buiding/carpentry in Nova Scotia. I wonder if that is the bond? Do you know any sites that contain old photos of people especially ones from Nova Scotia. Thanks a bunch, Heidi

Hello,
I am wondering if you might help me. I have noticed that you have information on the Card and Marsters families. I have ancestors from both lines and have been hitting roadblocks lately. Any info and/or direction you might be able to pass on to me would be so greatly appreciated. I am very new to genealogy research, so I can use all the help I can get! I am descended from Daniel Dimock Marsters (b.-15 JAN 1821 / d.- 1 AUG 19110 married to Abigail Ann Hill. He would be my 3x great-grandfather. My line is Daniel Dimock Martsers - James W. Marsters - John Steadman Marsters - Ruby Janette Marsters Bishop - Donald Clapp Bishop - me. I cannot find the death of James W. that would seem to match and I cannot take Daniel Dimock Marsters any further back. I see from other members' trees that Daniel's father is listed as James, but I can find no documentation to support that. I also assume that there is a connection to the Dimock family, but haven't been able to trace it to my Daniel. My Card connection is through Emma Card, daughter of Margaret Ann Youdell Greenough and Silas James Card.

Thank you again for taking a minute to read through this!

Best Regards,

Cheryl Bishop Crimmins

Cheryl, I can't help on any death record for James W. Marsters. My Grandfather's book, "Richard Card & Descendants of Nova Scotia" only list John Steadman Marsters married Emma Gertrude Card. He lists two children by this union; Elda and Ruby, then stating no further reference. You are correct for Emma Card and her ancestors. If you want to contact me by email; my address is johnieg@pine-net.com

A lot of the early NS records can be found on the Nova Scotia Archive site.
www.novascotiagenalogy.ca
This is a free site maintained by the Nova Scotia Archives. You may need to download a viewer program which is free onsite to see the actual record.
Keep in mind that there were at least three James W Marsters living in Hants Co. during the same time. One died in 1910, one in 1916 and as the below records show your James W. died between 1921 and 1946.

James W`s first marriage was to Susan Thompson in 1869. She died sometime prior to 1875

The marriage record of James W Marsters to Rebecca Wood (note: on the above NS Archive search site James W has been transcribed as James M) states that he is age 28, a widower, a mariner and son of Daniel and Abigail. They were married in Hants Co in 1875.

The 1901 Census show the family as James Marsters, age 54; his wife Rebecca his wife, age 46; Frank A Marsters son age 15 and Alace M, daughter age 5.

Rebecca Marsters died age 54 in Summerville on Sept 26, 1909. She is married at the time, according to the record, to James William Marsters.

In 1921 James Marsters remarried. The marriage certificate describes him as a widower, retired, age 74 son of Daniel Marsters and Abigail Hill. He married Rosella Ogilvie a 68 year old widow on March 16, 1921 in Parrsboro, NS. The 1921 Census records James and Rosella residing with Rosella`s son Frederic Ogilvie in Parrsboro.

The Delayed Birth Registration for John Steadman Marsters was processed in 1946. On this he states that his father is deceased. So the best that I could do was to find that James W Marsters died between 1921 and 1946.

The above records can be seen on the Nova Scotia Archives site

The parentage of Daniel Dimock Marsters can be seen on the free LDS site
www.familysearch.org
This site provides access to lots of records and also online member trees which is where I found the record for Daniel so it is not substantiated with records, just provides fodder for research.
