Henry (Harry) HYDE >> Fairlight, Canada from Fairlight, Sussex, Eng 1884

Posted: 10 Apr 2015 2:53PM GMT
Classification: Query
Surnames: Stocker, Stalker, Hyde, Farr
Henry (Harry) HYDE, wife Eva, mother Lydia arrived to Fairlight, Assa, NWT Canada from Fairlight, Sussex, England 1884

Before Saskatchewan became a province of Canada in 1905, the area of Fairlight, belonged to the provisional district of Assiniboia (Assa) in the North-West Territories, Canada

Henry (Harry) Hyde arrived to Fairlight, Assa, NWT, Canada from Fairlight, Sussex, Eng to apply for his homestead June 18, 1884. His mother Lydia migrated from England to join him as did his brother George.
Henry (Harry) Hyde was joined by his wife Mary The family had three children of school age when Henry (Harry) Hyde completed the stone one room schoolhouse
- Fairlight School District #282 in 1895. Additionally, a potential census record for the family mentions a daughter's name as Stocker, Eva which we believe to be a phonetic spelling of the surname Stalker.
When his mother, Lydia passed away, 1893, her next of kin were listed as

William Hyde of Burnside shore near Guildford, Surrey, England aged 43,

George Hyde, artist and cashier, of Crockett, Contra Costa County, California, U.S.A. aged 41,

and Henry Hyde of Fairlight, Assiniboia, North-West Territories.

Upon receiving correspondence regarding the family, it is believed that the family is as follows,
and that Henry (Harry) Hyde married Mary Hannah Farr who was a widow of Thomas Stalker. Thomas and Nicholas Stalker were
brothers who both homesteaded in this area near the homesteads of Henry, and Lydia Hyde.

It is known from cemetery records at Moosomin North Cemetery
that M. Harriet Farr died September 6, 1890, aged 67; Thomas Stalker died September 9, 1890 aged 32 years, and William Stalker died December 30, 1892 aged 8 years.

Further, as we speak of the passing of Thomas Stalker aged 82, Joanna relates that Thomas' brother Nicholas Stalker (b. 1851) age 27 married Gertrude Farr (b.1859) aged 22 in 1879 Brunel, Muskoka, Ontario, Canada. Gertrude was the sister of Mary Hannah (Harriet) Farr (wife of Henry Hyde.) Gertrude's (and Mary's) parents were Harriet and
Christopher Farr according to Family Search, and the parents of Nicholas (and Thomas) Stalker were Mary and Wm.

Hyde May F Wife M Aug 16 1865 age 35
Hyde Lydia F Daughter S Apr 4 1896 5
Hyde Frances F Daughter S Mar 23 1897 4
Stocker Eva F Daughter S Jul 17 1890 10 -->Here surname should be spelled Stalker it is believed rather than phonetically as Stocker.
Blackwell Albert M Domestic S Jul 26 1886


Around 1901, (after the census was taken - which began enumerating on March 31, 1901) the Hydes left Assiniboia, NWT ( later the province of Saskatchewan ), Canada and set up home in Contra Costa, California, United States

As Henry Hyde was the first post master at Fairlight, Assa, NWT, he chose the name which according to historians
hailed from the fact that he migrated from Fairlight Sussex, England.

If you have any clues about this HYDE family in either England, California U.S.A., or Saskatchewan Canada it would be greatly appreciated.
