Looking for any information about the family of Captain Angus Macdonald, born 1854 in Antigonish son of John and Catherine Macdonald. Angus died in 1900 in St. John, New Brunswick. He had married three times: Rosella Cody (or Coady) who died at sea in 1883; Minnie McDermott of St. John who died in 1897; and Joicy Perry Weyman who died in Los Angeles in 1951. A well-known sea captain at the time, Angus was at one time the captain of the Nicosia, though not when the ship was in a famous shipwreck off Sable Island (a nameplate from the Nicosia is displayed at the Maritime Museum in Halifax). Although he and Rosella were in St. John (or off at sea), the two oldest children, John A. Macdonald and Walter S., were sent to school at Saint Francis Xavier in Antigonish because of a relative who was an instructor there. Does this ring a bell with anyone?
