I don't remember any of the kids.What kind of info are you looking for is it just about granddad? Did you want his children's names.Granddad was a widower when his wife was 38 she died of tb. Granddad being a fisherman couldn't look after the kids so they were fostered out. Audrey

That was as much as I knew, that his wife died and he was a fisherman. I found that out through the Shelburne historical society, but not much more except Paul's branch. I have a tree on Ancestry, I would love names, etc and stories and pictures so that one day I can pass this all on to my children.

Langille had Malaria from Cicely,to my knowledge.

The UK sounds like a fun place to go, Paul said he has roots there, what do you know about that.
