Hi,
I am seeking information on the original Fudges of Western Head,NFLD. My ggranfather was Thomas Fudge of Western Head. He married Victoria Welsh of Tizzards Harbout. They had son Dopson Fudge who married Susie Hancock of Frederickton, I believe. Now for my dads side. My ggrandfather was John Lane of Englee, I think, and he married a Margaret??? They had my grandfather Andrew John Lane, who lived and worked in Buchans before residing and retiring in Botwood. Andrew John Lane married Janetta Squires of Botwood. Janetta Squires was daughter of Eneas Squires. Eaneas married Elizabeth Seabright, I believe of Botwood, NFLD..If u can help,,please

Hi Dennis;
Your Query attracted my attention concerning the LANE family from Englee. My gg Granfather was also a "John LANE", father of my g grandfather, Edward LANE who married Keziah GILLARD. GG Grandfather John LANE also had a brother named "Joseph LANE" and I was told that gg grandfather John and Joseph's father was also "Joseph LANE" all originating from the Bonavista Bay area. My Dad's mother was "Matilda nee LANE {Fillier} daughter of Edward LANE and grand-daughter of John LANE. We could be cousins!! Any assistance will be grately appreciated, concerning gg grandfather John LANE's wife's name.

Thank you in Advance
Evelyn

Dennis, this is such a coincidence!! yes we are talking about the same "John LANE" I have a photo of him taken with the other Town Council men in 1902 in Englee. I'm not certain if my G Grandfather, Edward was from his first or second wife, but I do know that he had a brother named Joseph Lane. Thus far I've only found Edward to be his son, can't seem to find out if Edward had any Siblings. Edward married Keziah Gillard in the Methodidt Church in Twillingate in the latter 1800's. Edward was born circa 1850--1855, would love to find who his mother and siblings are. If you would like to see the photo of my gg grandfather, John LANE, you can visit my website at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~woudenberg.

Hi Dennis;
If John LANE is my gg grandfather, my Dad's g grandfather, you and my Dad must be closely related eh?? if John LANE is also your g grandfather!! am I correct in stating that?? my g grandfather, Edward LANE must be brother to your grandfather?? Wow, gotta try and decipher this info. {smiles} but I do not know either wife or sibling, other than Joseph LANE of my gg grandfather John but I was told that John and Joseph LANE's father was also Joseph LANE, but that's all of the info. i've obtained thus far but I know the names of my g grandfather, Edward LANE's children. Looking forward to hearing from you again, I'm on a roll now!!! {smiles} Do you live in Nfld.?

Cheers
Evelyn

I live in Kingston, Ontario now. I,m trying too figure this out. John Lane from Englee would be my great grandfather, his brother Joseph and Edward would be my great uncles, ...does this make any sense too you? Do u live in NFLD? John Lane from Englee was married twice, first too Caroline Hancock and then too a Margaret. John and Margaret had Andrew, Obadiah, Denny, Jack, James, Bessie and Joshua. My dad is James. Oh my nerves are wrecked,,,just kiddin, this is alot of fun.

Hey Dennis
My name is Amanda Fudge. All of my closer family lives in Ontario (siblings, parents and grandparents) but we are originally from Botwood, NFLD. That is what skipper says anyway (grandpa Fudge - Gerald). How is your research going thus far?

I just read a book called The Price paid for Charley by Earl Pilgrim. It is suppose to be a true story about Sir Wilfred Grenfell. In this book a family of Hancocks are mentioned. The community of Englee is frequently mentioned.

I live in Australia and am interested in following any contacts for my family tree.

My wife's mother is a Hancock from Engelee. I have just finished another Pilgrim book called "When Grenfell Cried", and Stan Hancock is mentioned is this book. It refers to my mother-in-laws Uncle Stan, who was a minister in Engelee.

I have more information on the family, can provide this for you if it is of assistance.
