Cecile Bachand/Choinierre

mrh971 — 2012-04-16 04:49:41Z

I am trying to find information on my grandmother. She was born Marie Lucienne Cecile Bachand (went by Cecile) in Magog, Quebec. Her parents were Napoleon Bachand and Rose Anna Belanger. Siblings were Romeo, Gertrude, and Aline. She was adopted at the age of 7 by Urgele and Amanda (Lussier) Choiniere. What I am trying to find out is why she was adopted at 7 years old and why she never talked about it. I have found that her God-Parents were Joseph Turcotte and Emma Lussier. The interesting connections is that Amanda Lussier had a sister named Emma, but I can't find any connection. If anybody could help me I would really appreciate it. Thanks

susanhreed — 2011-03-16 22:59:56Z

I'm going to keep looking for him, but,if I were you, I would post the message on the Quebec board under "General" or "Eastern Townships" at the bottom of the Quebec board page. Many more people read these sections of the board than the "Estrie" board, so you would get more bang for your buck. Just a thought.

Re: Thomas Martin Olsen

briansherping — 2011-03-15 23:43:02Z

That`s the problem, he doesn`t show up anywhere but he is mentioned as the father of at least six, with Flora Buck as the mother and his wife....

Re: Thomas Martin Olsen

susanhreed — 2011-03-15 23:05:59Z

He doesn't appear to be with them in the 1911 census. Do you think he could have died young? There are a couple of Olsen deaths in the Bury-Lingwick Church of England records that could be him, but they are illegible. I can't find a stone for him in cemetery records either. Are your Olsens the Bury-Lingwick lot?

Thomas Martin Olsen

briansherping — 2011-03-15 03:19:02Z

I am looking for information on Thomas Martin Olsen, born at Eaton in compton county in 1879. He shows up in the 1901 census living with his parents Christin and Margritt Olsen. After 1901 I cannot find any trace of him.

Re: Jervah Frank and Stevens Mary Ann

susanhreed — 2011-01-02 14:24:03Z

That marriage record looks to me like it says "Louis Jervah". It's quite clear. I think that "Emily Bella" is just a reflection of the fact that the clergyman didn't speak French and was not familiar with the name Beland. So he wrote it "Bella", which was what it sounded like to him. What is the problem with the dates, exactly?

Re: Jervah Frank and Stevens Mary Ann

MonsieurQuebec — 2010-12-31 15:57:17Z

Do you have a Mary A Stevens in your tree that is older than the one you mentioned? My great great grandmother was Sarah Stevens who died 6 October 1860. The witness at their wedding was Mary A Stevens.

He married Mary Stevens in 1844 Barnston? quebec in and Electa Buckland in Barnston? Quebec in 1863.

He may have lived in Coos County as his son Adelbert married Mary Hartwell , daughter of Rufus Hartwell and Lucinda Burch.

My maternal grandfather was James Howard Horsborough Beatt. I am looking for information on his father, James Horsborough Beatt Jr and his father James Horsborough Beatt. I think my great, great, grandfather may have been a church minister in the Huntington or Hemingford area in the late 1800's early 1900's. I think my great, great grandfater was born in 1844. Any help you could give me with ancestors and dates would be greatly appreciated.

I am searching for Elisabeth Pelletier, d/o Augustin-Henri Pelletier and Angelique Gaumond. I found 11 of her siblings born in St-Roch-des-Aulnaies, L'Islet, PQ but I could not find her. Some of the children that I found were born between 18 Oct. 1814 and Jan. 1838. There are 3 children whose date of birth I did not find. Elisabeth was born around 1816.

I would greatly appreciate any info that you can give me. Thank you.

Reeds from Waterville

susanhreed — 2007-06-10 19:38:14Z

I am seeking information on the siblings of my grandfather, Frederick Alexander Reed, born in East Clifton (I think), August 26, 1867, died Waterville, December 5, 1946. He was the son of Arthur Reed (1819-1895) and Ellen Lamphrey (1821-1904), all buried in Waterville cemetery. Fred had quite a number of siblings, including Arthur, Richard, Edward and Elizabeth. Elizabeth married Benjamin Brown and had a number of daughters and a grandson, Royce. These are not the North Hatley Reeds, but a completely different family. I believe that Arthur was born in Ireland. Does anyone know anything about them, or about the Lamphrey family?

Jervah Frank and Stevens Mary Ann

gervaistwig2 — 2007-05-21 23:30:23Z

Hello,
Another puzzle... Melbourne Methodist church April 25 th, 1882.
Looking about the parents of Frank Jervah, according to his marriage, they are Jervah Ls (probably Louis or Lewis) and Bellee Emily (ther first 3 letters are clear BELL but the end looks like a double e). The dates don't match with my ancestors Louis Gervais with his second wife Emilie Beland.
Frank Jervah is from Durham.
Frank birth date could be July 14, th 1858. He is buried in 1925 at the St.James cemetery, South Durham with his wife Mary Ann Stevens b. 1851, d. 1938.
I found some of their children and grandchildren.

Please help....
Thanks Lou

Gervais, Jervah, Jervais Agnes daugh. of John and Pilon Emily

gervaistwig2 — 2007-05-21 23:15:26Z

Hello,

I try to know more about this Gervais twig.

Agnes Gervais (Jervais),daughter of John Gervais (of Kingsey Falls) and Emily Pilon. Emily Pilon died in Montreal April 10 th, 1923 age 98 years old. Emily Pilon is buried under Emily Perron in the Murphy burial ground in the "Cimetiere Notre-Dame-des-Neiges", Montreal.
I can't find John Gervais marriage with Emily Pilon.

Agnes married John Patrick Murphy in Montreal, May 26 th, 1902 St. Mary church (Our Lady of Notre-Dame du Bon Conseil)

According the 1911 census in Montreal;
Agnes is a widow, born March 1867, 44 years old.

I can't find her in the 1901 census but I believe that she is in the 1881 census at Ulverton, near Kingsey Falls.
under Agnes Mary Jarvais, french speaking, 11 years old, Roman Catholic, with Frank Jarvais, 22 years old, they lived with a widow Emma Placey and her children. No relationship given between the Jarvais and the Placey.

I will like to much to attach this twig to the Gervais tree.

Thanks in advance, Lou

According the 1901 census, Josephine is born July 27 th, 1875.
Then I found that her father is Robert Jr. Hill married Oct. 25, 1869 to Celanire Daoust in a catholic parish of Danville.
A special permission because Robert Hill is a protestant.
He is a widow from his precedent marriage with Martha Jarvis.
Robert Jr Hill married Martha Jarvis in 1851 Danville.

his wife Celene (Celanire Daoust) Catholic, 32 years old

Joseph, 2 years old, Catholic
Rosela (baby), she is the godmother of Joseph Gervais.
She is also known as Rosa or Rosalie.

2 children: Georgina b. Sept. 1896, 14 years old
and Freda (Alfreda) born Nov. 1899, 11 years old.
------------------------------------------------------------

Re: Cemeteries in Bury, Lingwick or Waterville, Compton County?

pam_wood_waugh — 2007-02-26 22:50:53Z

Thanks, yes, Almira was d/o Abraham Salls and Sophia Bissell. Abraham Wait was s/o Enoch Wait & Sarah Salls. Abraham remarried to Harriet Brown in 1862, and they removed to Whitby, Ontario before the 1881 census was taken. He died there 10 Jan 1884. Informant was his son G.F. Waite. I'm not sure who Margaret is. Will have to try to find her parents.

Re: Cemeteries in Bury, Lingwick or Waterville, Compton County?

trudymeister — 2007-02-26 19:28:34Z

Pam, I know you asked about Salls & Waite quite awhile ago. I have Almira Ann Salls, brn Dec 29, 1859 died 34 yrs.buried Anglican Cemetery, Lingwick. Married Abraham Wait. My Compton records spell his surname as Wait. But I notice on Leslie Nutbrowns list Abraham's surname is spelled WATT.I show no Abraham Wait/Waite/Watt on my Compton County cemetery listing. Also there are no parent's listing for Almira or Margaret on my Compton County cemetery list.
Margaret May Salls,brn 1926 & still living in 1994 is listed as going to be buried in Island Brook Community Cemetery.She is also listed as "loving friend of Donald Cooper.

Hockey Team photo c1900?

I have a photo dating to the early 1900's of a men's hockey team. Would anyone be able to identify this photo and/or its members?

I suspect it was a Granby hockey team since the frame is embossed with the photographer's name "Aime Tremblay, Granby, Que." My grandfather (Burton Osgood born 1894) is in the top row, 2nd from the left.
