My GM was Mary Joseph Pike, daughter of John Gilbert Pike,descended from Gilbert Pike and Sheila NaGeira,if she really existed. Like everything else,there is probably at least some truth to the story,but so far no proof has been found.
Meanwhile,my GM married my GF, William Patrick Judge, whose father was Patrick Judge of Placentia Bay area,and his mother Mary Ellen (or Elin) Miller, an Indian girl,presumably Mi'Kmaq,as they were most common in Placentia Bay. However,since Labrador Pikes were intermarried with Indian descent people in Red Bay,etc. in Labrador, I am curious if anyone knows of (1) exact connection with my Pikes of Salmonier...Mount Carmel...Mitchell's Brook ,St. Mary's Bay,Newfoundland, and previously St. Lawrence,Burin Peninsula, and Harbor Grace. All are descended from Carbonear in 1600s but hard to find links in some cases.(2) any Indian marriage connections with Nfld., Island Pikes themselves,rather than Labrador Pikes. Since my GM was happy to marry an obviously part Indian man in 1895,I am wondering if she therefore had close connections herself.
(3) Really interested if anyone has any other knowledge on the Princess Sheila descent besides what's on the net. (4) Any Pikes connected to the above,please contact me and help me fill in the family
