Am searching for info or links to my GGrandfather. His name was Joseph P. Given, b. 6-18-1885. His obit indicates he was born in St. John, New Brunswick, but family word of mouth has always been that he was from Campbell Settlement(?) N.B. He was married to Augusta Miller, b. 4-14-1888 also in Canada. They had 9 children, Percy, Kenneth, Arthur, Anna, Cecil, Raymond, Waldo, Harriet and Joseph Jr.

Joseph's obit also indicates his parents names were Joseph Given and Hannah Gray, no dates on them. I do know of 7 children besides Joseph: Margaret, Annie, Mary, Eddie, Frank, David and John.

Appreciate any info, having a hard time finding the Given name in Canada. Thanks in advance.

William Given

None of your family names are familiar, but I have a William Given Family living in Perth County, Ontario in 1871. Census records show William Given age 50 born in Ireland, wife Ellen age 48 born in Ireland; children: William age 22, Ellen age 18, Francis age 16, and Michael age 13. They spelled the name Given, however it is listed as Givens in the census. DiHart@juno.com

Sheila, I am David Given's great-granddaughter. I have lots of info on David and Ellen's descendents, not so much on the American side. Would love to do a swap of info, and get to know a new cousin.

Joseph was born in Bloomfield NB on July 20, 1863, His parents were James Given (c1830 Ireland - 1901 Saint John) and Margaret Orr (1832 Ireland - 1920 Saint John). I have a fair bit of info on the rest of the family. Have you checked the Provincial Archives of new Brunswick?
