Hi Irene
It's Bonny...I think we already discovered the Mercer Bradbury relationhip a few years ago. I glad to see you are still searching...I have hit a brick wall.

Yes the Mercer's are hard people to find they must be shy, LOL My Sister Pearl Bradbury know's more about the Mercer's than I do, as she is searching the Mercer' & Deering side of the family, while I am searching the Petten's & the Pottle's. Pearl has posting's on here so you beabble to find her, as well I will mention it to her.

Yes the Mercer's are, was your Joseph Mercer from Country Rd or Mercer's cove ?
|
Hi there, I will ask my sister Pearl Bradbury as Mercer's is her area of our search.
|
Actually, I originally thought that this part of the family came from Bay Roberts, but from what I've dug up more recently, it seems fairly certain that they lived in Upper Island Cove. So it's probably a different family altogether.
|
Now Bradbury is definitely a name I'm connected to in Bay Roberts. My grandmother's sister, Martha Coombs married Ray Bradbury. They lived in the two-storey house stuck right between the two churches.
|
Message here is to Mr. George Fred Clark, in particular, because of his reference to being connected to Emily Clarke Crane (nee Summers) of Flatrock. You are therefore a relative of my spouse and thus it would be a pleasure to connect with you if you are interested in doing so?

I am searching elizabeth jane bradbury married robert mercer died 1927 typhoid elizabeths parents george bradbury and louisa, need louisa maiden name, george bradbury proably son of hector bradbury and providence french; need more info on hector. providence died 1 oct 1892 age 79 making her born 1812-14 she is buried in coley's point , she died of general decay. they seem to be members of the church of england Whereas the mercers are UC religion, assume that is united church of christ, please correct me if i am wrong.
|
UC would be United Church (of Canada). It's different from United Church of Christ. It formed when the Methodist and Presbyterian (and a couple of other) denominations merged in 1925.

My great grandfather was Joseph Mercer who married Annie ? she died 1905 and he subsequently married Emily Crane (Clarke) (Summers). His daughter from Annie was my grand mother, Sarah. She married David Brown from Tilton. The issue we are having is we can't find who Joesph married....Annie or Ann and no last name. I have the info on all of their children, most of who died young. ....any help would be appreciated, it was interesting about Emily. It must have been hard, she went thru 3 husbands. My dad remembers here, sitting in a barrel shaped rocking chair
Thanks...Roger
