MATTHEWS
I'm not really too sure what I'm looking for, My father is James Albert Matthews, his parents were Lorraine (Hunter) Buchanan (is her now married name) and his father was Either Albert James Matthews Or James Albert Matthews. He was born October 10 1959 In Summerside PE. He has a brother named Samuel Terrance (Terry) Matthews, and I know he lives in Summerside. He was taken away from his mother, and was raised by Charles and Reby Milligan. I have no issues finding the Milligans. They however know very little about the Matthews's. I'm looking for any sort of history, that isn't 100 years old. I'd like to know my 'grandpas' actual name, and when he died. Not sure if anyone reads this site, but it's worth a shot. Thanks!

HEARTZ
I am trying to find information on Mary Ellen MacFadyen, born about 1874 in North Granville, P.E.I., who married unknown Heartz in about 1902. According to the 1910 U.S. census, at which time she was living in Concord, N.H., she had given birth to 5 children of whom 3 were living. However, none were living with her, and it is hard to tell whether she was a widow or not. In 1910, she was a servant, in 1920 a cook, and in 1930, a pastry chef. In 1930, her son William, born about 1905, was living with her. Does anyone have any information about who Mary Ellen married, or information about her family?

Jamieson
I am looking for information on my Gx5 grandmother named Alice Ann Jamieson.

Alice Ann Jamieson was born in PEI on May 26, 1849 and she passed away in Vancouver, BC on August 22, 1905. Her first name, her birthdate, and the birth province are consistent on several Canadian census forms, wherein her last name was already changed to Taylor. Her later life and passing are consistent with family information and her BC death record.

Alice Ann Jamieson's marriage record is dated May 2, 1872 to George R. Taylor in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA. It shows her parents are David J (sp?) and Almira C. (sp?)(initial could be G. or B. or E.).

I have no information as to how Alice Ann came to be in the Boston, Mass. area and very little information on how she crossed the continent to Vancouver BC. Census records and other information show that she had six children.

This is all the information I have on Alice Ann Jamieson.

I am stuck because there is no direct evidence from any PEI records that she, David, or Almira exists. She does not appear to have any relation to any Jamieson on the island for whom there are records from the PEI Public Archives. (edit: Francis Handrahan of the PEI Public Archives has been very helpful but has not found connections either.)

Please help. TIA

GILLIS
I am trying to get early information on one Hugh Gillis (H.G.). Here is what I know. H.G. was at Quesnel, British Columbia in the early 1860s. He had a partner by name of Thomas Brown. These two men preempted 160 acres of land where the small city of Quesnel now exists. They built the Occidental Hotel, which first opened its doors in 1865. H.G. later showed up at Manson Creek in the Omineca area of BC. There was a gold rush on at Quesnel and Manson Creek during these times. H.G. died in August of 1872 near Manson Creek. I have unconfirmed information that he came from Souris, PEI. His birth date, and any other details of the man, would be appreciated.

I am looking for information about my grandma. Her name was Anna A'Hearn. She was born on the island january 22, 1893. The birth year is probably wrong as she did not have a birth certificate and had to use her sisters to retire here in the USA. I know she was one of nine children, she wrote to them through out her life. I know she had a sister Margaret who's married name is Cahill and her daughter Dorothy Thibert. I know they lived on the island in 1980 as I have a letter from them. I certainly would apreciate some help. We cant seem to find an Anna A'Hearn on the island. My grandma was the best.

BAGSTER
I'm puzzled by conflicting entries on different parts of the Island Register website.

One entry, concerning the descendants of James Aitken of Kircudbrightshire on http://www.islandregister.com/aitken.html says that 23) Susanna Maria Aitken married Cornelius Birch Bagster in 1834 in Lower Montague and the first of their children was born in about 1835. They moved to England in 1837.

Another entry, concerning the descendants of William Barstow and Isabel Wollar of Yorkshire on http://www.islandregister.com/beairsto.html says that 52) Susanna Maria Aitken married Cornelius Birch Bagster in 1834 in Lower Montague. He was the son of Samuel Bagster and was born on Jan 27, 1814, in Old Windsor, England. Cornelius and Susanna's first daughter was born in about 1835 in England and their other daughters were also born in England.

That's not exactly the same, but similar. However, extracts from The Islander newspaper on http://www.islandregister.com/islander.htm contain the following announcements:
:: Nov 24, 1843, married on the 20th inst, Monday by the Rev Dr Jenkins, Cornelius Birch Bagster, Esq, of Mill Vale, to Susanna Maria, fourth daughter of George Aitken, of Albion Farms, Three Rivers.
:: Sept 13, 1844, birth on the 9th inst, Monday eve at Mill Vale, the wife of C Birch Bagster, Esq, a daughter.
:: Aug 27, 1847, birth on the 19th inst, Thursday at Mill Vale, wife of C Birch Bagster, Esq, a daughter.
Apr 6, 1849, birth on Thursday the 22nd ult at Georgetown, the wife of C Birch Bagster Esq, of a daughter.

Can anyone explain these contradictions? Also, does anyone know why Cornelius Birch Bagster went from England to Prince Edward Island and what he did there?

Glenaladale
I’m trying to track down the original fragment of the MacDonald of Glenaladle tartan. In 1968 the tartan was rewoven in Scotland from details taken from an old specimen that was apparently at, or in some way associated with, St. Peters, PEI. The original is thought to date to at least 1772 when it was taken there by John MacDonald of Glenaladale when he and his siter emigrated.

My research leads me to believe that the 1968 interpretation/copy was significantly inaccurate and I’m trying to confirm the correct pattern. Ideally I want to track down the specimen, which I feel must still exist, and if at all possible get a photograph of it to confirm the pattern, colours etc.

Does anyone have any information and/or would be interested in helping with a bit of historical research?

I went to PEI and Charlottetown when I was 16 and met my grandmother's brother and his family, now I'm trying to sort out who is who. She claimed to have had 12 or 13 siblings and she was the oldest. My grandmother was Florence May Kelly and was born on 11/08/1880 and emmigrated to the Boston area in her early adult years (she says 18 but it could have been in her early 20s). My uncle, Patrick B. Kelly was her youngest sibling and went by the name Ban. Any family information would be appreciated

Is anyone familiar with the name of Francis John McAree (sometimes called John Francis McAree) who was born in Fort Augustus, Lot 36, on 13 January 1873, one of five children of James and Mary (Campbell) McAree? He married in Charlottetown, on 4 May 1903, Annie Moan, one of my relatives. Both were Catholic, but they married at St. Paul's Anglican Church, for some reason. They seem to disappear after that. Any clues to where they went and what happened to them would be much appreciated. I have tried all the U.S. and Canadian census records; the St. Albans border crossing records; Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Ontario, Quebec, and Massachusetts vital records, all to no avail.

GAY, Samuel S.
I have just found out about Samuel S. Gay who was Sheriff of Las Vegas from 1910 to 1931. He was born March 1, 1860 in PEI and family moved to Massachusetts where he live in a farm. He died in August of 1932 - and was single. That's all I know. There's several pages from "The First 100 - Portraits of the Men and Women Who Shaped Las Vegas" at this website. I would like to know more about him so if he fits into anyone's family, can you let me know. Thanks.

http://www.1st100.com/part1/gay.html

I also have a copy of an article from Las Vegas newspaper in 1999 about Sam "the lovable lawman."

Here's a quote: "But he was big, 6 foot and 260 pounds, fearless, and equipped with a pair of fists that were so efficient he almost never saw the need to carry a gun, let alone use one. He was also compassionate, never known to abuse his authority or mistreat prisoners. In fact, he was constantly criticized for being too lenient. But he was the right man for the job in his time and place, and is probably the most popular and beloved lawman Clark County has ever had."

JOHN ROBERTS, LOT 54
Here are my problems!

John Roberts married Catherine White, 30 June 1835. I assumed she died before December 1835 because: John Roberts married Caroline White on December 16, 1835. I am thinking that these two John Roberts are the same person. Maybe married sisters? The son of Hilary and Susanna Roberts would be too young for these marriages. Did Hilary Roberts have a brother that came with him?

If John Roberts married Caroline White in 1835, and the first recorded children were not born before 1853 were there any children born before this and if there was who and where are they?

John Roberts marreid Mary Ann Sharam in Murray Harbour 4 April 1843; He was from Murray Harbour and she was from Vernon River, (Their son Peter ended up in Pictou Co.) The witness to the marriage was James Sharam and Caroline White. I don't know who he was. Was he the same person who married Catherine Margaret Machon. The dates of the childrens birth would suggest this.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

MC/MAC DONALD
Hello,
I am hoping someone can shed some light on 5 children I have found in Lot 42 on the 1881 census.

Hugh, Flora, Mary Ann, Angus and Joseph. 13, 9, 7, 5 and 1 respectively.

They are being brought up in the home of Joseph MacDonald and Matilda MacDonald. I am sure this is the home of Joe Donald Hector MacDonald. These children are not Joe and Matilda's. There are two older ladies in the house as well. A Mary - widow- age 79 and a Nancy aged 76. I am thinking Mary is Joe's sister in law. She would have been married to Allen Hector. I am not sure who Nancy is she is not listed as a widow. They are both too old to be the mother of the children listed. They could be- one of them could be - a grandmother to them though. If anyone sees possible link to another MacDonald family from the above children's names, please contact me. I would love to try and figure out why they are being raised here. Thank you all in advance.

HAYES
I am looking for information on the Hayes family of Rollo Bay. Richard Hayes (1819-1908) was born in Kilkenny, Ireland and died in Rollo Bay, PEI. His wife Nancy (Ann) MacDonald Hayes (1802-1894) was born in Clear Springs (Hay River), PEI. Nancy was the daughter of Lauchlin MacDonald and Nancy (Ann) McIntyre of Clear Springs, Lot 44. Lauchlin MacDonald and Nancy were two of the earliest settlers of the Clear Springs area. Richard and Nancy had at least two children. They had a son named James whom I think was a harbor master in Souris. Family lore says he died at sea. James (b.1848) had at least two children, Theresa (b. 1883) and James (b. 1881). In the census records of 1891, 1901 and 1911 it lists a Flora (b. 1851) as a daughter. In the 1911 census Flora is still living in the same home in Rollo Bay with her daughter Theresa. I don’t know if Flora is the daughter of Richard and Nancy Hayes or James' wife. I think she is James’s wife. Richard’s occupation was listed as a shoe maker. Richard and Nancy Hayes are buried in St. Alexis cemetery in Rollo Bay. Their son James is also buried in St. Alexis cemetery. I am trying to find out if Flora is their daughter or daughter in law. If Flora is not their daughter, then who is their daughter? I am also interested in any information on descendants. In Nancy Hayes’ obituary it says she had six grandchildren and I have only found two. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

NICHOLSON MACPHERSON
My great great grandfather was Samuel Nicolson(1786-1800) married to Christine MacPherson(1805). My Dad told me we were related to Bill MacPherson, a poet from Glen William and also John Angus MacPherson from Bellevue. Also related to Dugald MACLEOD. If anyone has any information on these people and how they are connected to my Nicholsons, I would very much appreciate hearing from you. Thank you. My Nicholsons are from the Glen William area. I think the Bill or William MacPherson was from the Bruce Road.

I suspect she may have left c. 1910 or thereabouts. Am looking for any informanion on her history. I have seen a picture of the house in which she grew up and believe it is still standing.

I am searching for information regarding Amy Inman born May 22,1876 on PEI. She married Johnston Leard born 1860 also on PEI. Amy was my great grandmother's younger sister. My Great Grandmother's name was Grace Isabel Inman Wetmore. Both were children of Henry and Mary Ann Inman of PEI. Grace moved to Boston, Massachusetts in the late 1890's and lived there until her death in 1963. I believe that Amy also came to Boston, but I lost track of her and her husband. A third sister, Amanda Inman, also moved to Massachusetts.

I do know that Amy and Johnston Leard had four sons, Edward, Stewart, Earl and Harry. Thank you for any information you can provide about this family.

MILLINGTON
I have been trying for a few years to discover something about my Great Uncles life on PEI. His name was William 'Bill' Millington and he was a British Home Child.
He was sent from England at age 12 years in 1896. He married twice, firstly to Myrtle Baker, and then to Daisy(Margaret) who had previously been married to Alfred Chappelle of Charlottetown.
He died in 1964.
There must be someone who knows something. Someone must have arranged his funeral. He was buried at Church of Scotland Cape Traverse. I would love to obtain his death cert if anyone can help with this.
He lived with William McDonald when he first arrived up until he left I think to get married. Family lore says that he had a good upbringing and was in public life in a small way.
I know he owned some land and that he also worked for the railway.
One day I would like to visit PEI but I want to know more about William first so that I can see where he was etc.
I paid a genealogist to try to discover more who was very good but only got so far and I want to know more. I would be very grateful for any help.
regards
Amanda Wood

MACKINNON/MCKINNON
Searching for information on family/descendants of Charles McKinnon, passenger aboard the Alexander in 1772. Am looking for confirmation of relationship.

Here is what I know:
Peter Roderick MacKinnon (my grandfather) Born St. Peters Bay 4/9/1872 - 5/1/1954 (Everett MA), wife Annie Marie Cahill.

Donald Charles MacKinnon (my great-grandfather) Born PEI 1817 - 1/4/1896, wife Catherine MacDonald (great-granddaughter of Dr. Rory MacDonald, physician aboard the Alexander)

Charles MacKinnon (my great-great-grandfather) MacAskill River (dates of birth/death unknown), wife Catherine Gillis. They supposedly had 6 children, 3 boys (Donald Charles, Hugh or Hughie Charles, and John) and 3 girls (Elizabeth or Lizzie, Margaret or Peggy, and Mary who married Angus McCormick. Hughie Charles married Mary Gillis on May 20, 1884.

Can anyone help me tie Charles MacKinnon of MacAskill River back to the Charles MacKinnon (or any other MacKinnon) on board the Alexander. I believe Charles MacKinnon settled in Lot 37 from 1772 until 1779 to pay off his debt to Capt. John MacDonald for the voyage. I think there is one generation missing between the Charles from the Alexander and the Charles from MacAskill River.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

His wife died between 1874 and 1881. I am guessing that his children were born at Brookfield. The children are; 1. Alexander, born 1858, he inherited the farm in 1888. 2. Christy, born 1862 and married John MacDonald, of Lot 30 between 1881 and 1888. 3. John A., born 1871. 4. Mary, born 1874 - I am wondering if she married a Burns? 5. Donald M., Donald had a daughter Flora born before 1888. His wife might have been Isabella M "Bella" MacDonald, daughter of Kenneth MacDonald and Sarah MacKenzie. He might have had a daughter Annie born about 1880. He had left home by 1881. 6. Catherine, born 1852 and died Jan 14, 1916, at South Granville. On April 8, 1874, she married Jesse Corbett of South Granville. 7. Annie, born 1859 and died Aug 8, 1920 at North Granville. She married George Mallett of N Granville after 1889. I have no proof that Annie was Alexander's daughter. I found an Alexander MacDonald of Lot 32 in the 1891 census, but his birthdate is 2 years out.

My great-grandparents, Catherine W. Duffy (1871-c.1950) and John B. Callahan/Callaghan (18??-1934), were from the Fort Augustus area. They moved to Boston sometime before their only son, my grandfather, was born in 1910.

I've had no problem finding Catherine's relatives, but I'm not having the same luck with John. I've found many people who may be the right John (using the online PEI baptismal records) but I have no way of narrowing things down. If you have any information, I'd love to get in touch.

Thanks!

COFFIN FAMILY TOUR NANTUCKET 2009
On October 19,2009 early morning I was leaving the Hyannis Harbor Hotel,Hyannis Ma. Cape Cod and met up with a group of Coffin Family on their way to Nantucket to stay at the Jared Coffin House. Had only a few moments to speak with a few members of the group to share my connection to PEI. My Mothers' family is from Alberton, the Callaghan/O'Callaghan family. I would love to hear from anyone that was on that tour to share more about my connection to PEI (Alberton) and hear about their trip. Who knows, there may have been a distant cousin or two in the group.
Thanks

JOSEPH FISHER-NEW HISTORY
I am a direct descendant of Joseph (1) Thomas (5) Joseph (20) James (62) FISHER.

In 1962, I had a conversation with my Aunt, Pearl Rita Fisher, born October 17, 1909, 100 years ago today. She stated to me and my mother that their father, my grandfather, James Thomas Fisher (#62) told her that:

“Our family’s story is the story of Evangeline.”

The plain meaning implies that the ancestors of JOSEPH FISHER left Plymouth/Turnchapel, Devonshire, UK, sometime before 1755, the time of the Acadian Expulsion told in Longfellow’s poem “Evangeline.” Therefore, the Fishers settled in Acadia, now Nova Scotia, before 1755. According to the surname lists (on the web: http://www.acadian.org/surname4.html ) of Acadian names before 1755, the Fisher name was quite common in Acadia before 1755! In the Everitt family page on this islandregister site, John Fisher (2), who married Eliza Ann Everitt, stated that he and his 4 brothers left Plymouth for New Brunswick in 1824.

Therefore, the ancestors of JOSEPH FISHER must have left Acadia/Nova Scotia in or after 1755 and returned to Plymouth/Turnchapel (a tiny village opposite Plymouth) between 1755-1798 when John was born in England. Then JOSEPH’s 5 descendants left Plymouth for New Brunswick (or Nova Scotia?) in 1824 and from there, to PEI. Does anyone have a similar history about Fishers in Acadia before 1755?

Incredibly, I have an internet picture-painting of the actual house and dock-yard of JOSEPH FISHER painted in 1820, at the exact time he and his wife and 5 sons were living there! The painter must have been on JOSEPH’s property and met his family. You can’t get any better than that. E-mail me for a copy and other Fisher documents and photographs.

John Richard Groom married June 18, 1924 to Marie-Rose Joncas in Charlo, Restigouche county, NB. They went to live in Montréal. On the marriage certificate, John Richard Groom parents are James and Eva Walsh of PEI. Eva was godmother for one of the kids in Montréal.

James and Eva Groom family appear on the 1901 PEI census.

It would be interesting to know why both brothers were adopted by Jon Garrett and Bridget-Hélène Driscoll.

However, his death certificate gives his birth as August 10, 1890. I did locate an Alex J McLeod 9 years old living on lot 22 Bonshaw on the 1901 census. His calculated birth is 1892 which matches the calculated birth year for him on his son's birth registration. Does anybody have any info they can share.

MCPHERSON, Hector
Headline: SAN FRANCISCO, MONDAY, MAY 27. CITY ITEMS.
Newspaper: Daily Alta California
Date: May 27, 1867

Melancholy and Fatal Accident - A very melancholy accident occurred on Saturday evening in Oakland that had fatal results. Hector McPberson, a native of Prince Edward's Island age twenty seven years, lost his life under peculiar circumstances. He was employed in the shop of Mr. William Sobst, blacksmith. and at the close of his week's labor, as was his custom, went to take a bath. Two persons standing on the wharf observed that McPherson, in diving, remained an unusual length of time under water, and desiring to lend assistance in case of necessity, procured a boat and brought him to the surface in a few minutes. Mr. McPherson when placed in his room was thoroughly conscious, but the unfortunate man must have irreparably injured his spinal chord, for he remained in full possession of his faculties though completely paralyzed, until ten o'clock yesterday morning, when be expired. Deceased served in the Federal army during tbe war, and was among the party who, despite imminent risk of life, spiked and rendered useless guns at Harper's Ferry, when it was abandoned by Gen. Banks.

NOTE: I find a Hector McPherson in the PEI Baptismal Site - born May 7, 1840 to Donald McPherson and Margaret McMillan - who seems to fit. This is Flat River area - St. John's Presbyterian Church Belfast.

Malcolm (December 3,1853) Mary Ann (Jan.6,1856) Alex John (Aug.29,1857)

Dan Joseph (1876)

I would be interested in learning anything about the family. I would love to know who Archibald's wife-the BRAVE mother of all (but maybe the youngest) of these children was. I'd love to know where the family lived. I know from the census reports that it was in the 62nd Lot Area, but I would like to know precisely where. Also, I'd like to know if there are any descendants still living in the area. I'm looking forward to hearing from anyone who may be able to help me out. Thank you.

I have no knowledge of who she married or even if they remained in PEI. If you have a Sarah Gillis from Cape Breton in your records I would appreciate hearing from you. Where would boats from PEI leave, if they were headed to the Inverness area??
Thank
Alex Gillis

MACEACHERN/MORRISON
Philomena MacEachern (daughter of Angus MacEachern and Jane MacDonald)and Jonas Morrison (son of Catherine McKinnon and John Morrison) are married in Santa Cruz, CA in 1874. They are simple second cousins.

Jane MacDonald is are missing ling. Who were her parents? Jonas' grandmother was Janett MacDonald. I am assuming her father was a brother to Jane's father?
Janett MacDonald McKinnon was born about 1797. She was married to Donald McKinnon. Who were her parents?

MACDONALD/MACEACHERN
Looking for information on a Jane MacDonald born C 1809. She died in San Francisco, CA 23 April 1881. Her husband was Angus MacEachern (parents John MacEachern and Eunice Cameron). He died in PEI 1 May 1868. Their daughter Marcelina MacEachern marries in Jan of 1882 to James MacDonald. The church record states that they are double second cousins. James' parents are Ronald (Alisary) MacDonald and Perpetua MacDonald. I am guessing that Ronald MacDonald and Angus MacEachern are the first cousin through John MacEachern and his sister Mary McEachern. Jane and Perpetua are first cousins. Perpetua is born C 1810 and died 29 May 1892. I am missing the names of these ladies parents. Which MacDonald family do they belong to?

MCDONNELL/MCDONALD
I am trying to located a great, great grandmother who married into my family of Bishops. Unfortunately the records of family note her last name as McDonnell or McDonald, she went by Mae, and her actual name is Mary C. My grandfather's birth certificate lists her as Mary C. McDonnell from PEI, born in 2.15.1876 and dies in MA in 1924. She married John F. Bishop (1871-1961) and i have located them in 1920 in Lynn MA. He is suppose to be from Nova Scotia or Newfoundland, but again not able to locate anything concrete. The 1920's census notes their immigration date to the united states in 1895. It is possible the Bishop line also hales from PEI through John's father: Richard (James) bishop (1836).

Can you provide any leads to the actual last name and other links, such as parents?

GALLANT
Hello, I do hope you can help. I've tried Ancestry.com and the Official PEI Records but with no success. I am John Albert Gallant and I am trying to locate my Gallant family.

My father, John Ernest Albert Gallant b1931 Wellington PEI left the family when my brother Gord and I were quite young and we have had no contact since. I was advised my father passed away last year and I now have his effects.

I have learned he was the son of Alphee Gallant (1904-1941) and Rosie (Maddix?)(1907-1994). Alphee is buried at Summerside, Rosie at Mont Carmel. I never met them. I do remember meeting two of my father's brothers, Rene and Fred. Fred was one of only a handful of war amps to live on PEI. Sadly he too passed away within the last few years.

Does anyone have any knowledge of this side of the Gallant family please? My brother Gord is in care and when he passes, I shall have no known living relative. Any help you can give would be so much appreciated. Thank you, John.

MARGARET (KENNEDY) MORSE
I am trying to compile a geneology of the Morse family and I want to know who Margaret (nee Kennedy) Morse's parents were. All I know is that she was from PEI, no City or county, just the province. She was born 1812 and died 1904, she married Major Morse (I belive Major is his first name and not his title) who was born in 1802 and died in 1894. after she married Major Morse the couple moved to Paradise, NS where the groom's family came as planters. They had a few children but the child that concerns me is Samuel Kennedy Morse.
What I am trying to do (other than find her parents) is take her family to whichever group of immigrants came to Canada for her, whether she is a planter family or an older family. Thank you very Much, looking forward to hearing about her.

CALLAGHAN
I am in the process of tracing my grandmother's roots. The only thing I know is her name was Mary Callahan. She had a sister, Clara Callaghan. Mary ran away from home due to being poor and came to Massachusetts. She was born in or around 1883. Her father's name was Richard and her mother was Mary (Foster). Richard would have passed away somewhere around 1900. I know that Mary Foster Callaghan died when my grandmother was very young and she and her sister were sent to live with a grandmother.

If anyone has anything even remotely connected with this, I would really appreciate a message. This is all the information I have at this time regarding the family.

Re: Coats of Arms of Family Crests

I have been deluged yet again with inquiries about our family's "Coat of Arms" or "Family Crest". As far as I know, there is no such a thing in existence that would be attributed to our family of Haché of Haché-Gallant or Gallant. Yet I keep seeing one from time to time. There generous people who have submitted these to me inform me that they have spent some of their hard earned money to a Heraldry firm who (wouldn't you know it?) just happened to have a lineage for them ... an entire family tree. In addition the lineage had nothing to do with Michel Haché-Gallant or his wife Anne-Marie Cormier. Isn’t THAT interesting? This is a warning to you all because I hate it when folks waste money on organizations that prey on the good people who are in search of their roots. Most of the Heraldry associations feed on that premise exactly. Theirs is the substance of fun and games, wink, wink, nudge, nudge, although they won’t tell you that. They get some of their names from old census records, online unsubstantiated histories and even phone books and create a history, almost like a palm reader. What you are getting is bunk. Searching for ones roots, although rewarding and fascinating, is often a long, drawn out, arduous, pain-staking work in progress of dedication and is not without the investment of much time and money to acquire documents of birth, death, marriage, baptism etc from bonified sources. I know this personally. Do not be fooled into thinking that for a mere $35.00 (or there abouts) that someone is going to do it for you. Please read the following excerpt below to understand what I am talking about. I wish you luck in finding your roots and I would never wish to discourage anyone, but please ... please think before you invest money in a Heraldry club or association thinking that you will find where it is that you come from.

Please read the following excerpt from a book by Angus Baxter, one of North America’s leading genealogists, for the explanation as to why the subject of a Coat Of Arms is so controversial.

"Do not be led astray by advertisements offering you a coat of arms and a family history, or believe this will be a short cut to a family tree. It is very unlikely you or your family have any right to a coat of arms. The right to one was granted by the ruler of a country and was usually given to titled families or owners of large estates who had rendered some service to the ruler. Most of us are descended from farmers or farm workers and our ancestors were too busy and hard working to be bothered with frills of this kind; nor, indeed, were they in a position to qualify for such a grant. All you will get for your money is a coat of arms originally granted a long time ago to someone with a similar surname to yours. The odds are very much against that person being your ancestor, and, in any case, a coat of arms only descends from eldest son to eldest son."

Thank you very much and best of luck.

MORRISON CHANDLER
My paternal grandmother was Louise Chandler Morrison, daughter of Hugh T. and Agnes (Chandler) Morrison. Hugh T. Morrison was born on PEI December 1843 and died in (probably) Chicago between 1910-1920. His parents were both born in Nova Scotia.

Agnes Chandler was born May 1847 in New Brunswick. Her father was born on Cape Breton and her mother on PEI.

Hugh T. and Agnes were married about 1868-70 and may have lived for a time on PEI. Their first son, Russell Morrison, was born there about 1871-2. The last record I have for Russell is the 1980 census, when he was but 8 years of age and with his family in Wisconsin.

Hugh T. was a traveling Campbellite minister. Their second son, Charles Clayton Morrison (see Wikipedia) was born in Ohio December 1874 and died in 1966.

Their third son, Hugh Tucker Morrison (M.D., Th.D.) was born 23 May 1877 in Michigan and died Feb 1973.

Their daughter Louise Chandler Morrison was born in Michigan 10 Sep 1880 and died in Evanston, Cook County, Illinois June 1974.

AN ISLAND REFUGE REPRINTED!
Monday on the way to work, I picked up 200 copies of "An Island Refuge" from the printers. It is now finally ready. I only have to pick up shipping envelopes, then determine postage costs, and then I will begin selling them on behalf of the Abegweit Branch, United Empire Loyalist Association. The price will be $40.00 plus the postage cost CDN or USD. If you are on the Island and pick it up from me, it will only be the $40.00. I will carry a box of them in the car with me. I will be doing more with this this week, and hopefully by Friday can give you full ordering information. For those of you who are new to the Register and to this newsletter, transcribing this book, and putting it in computer format was a project of the Island Register and a number of its users. Many hours went into the work on it, and as a result of our efforts, it is finally back in print. Now, with its new computer format correcting errors in the book will be much easier and can be done between printings. The original book was printed using plates, long lost through the years. The overall quality of the reprint is good, and the Branch is proud to be able to offer it again. To begin with orders will by necessity be cash or cheque, but as I get the time, I will be setting up a Paypal payment system. Ordering details will be available hopefully by the by the end of the week.

I will also be updating the book listing on the book review page and on the UEL page as I find time to reflect this new printing. This has been a very long term project - much longer than it should have been, and I am pleased to announce its availability once again!

MACGREGOR/MACLENNAN
My great-great grandfather was Farquhar "Frank" MacGregor born in 1843 in Prince Edward Island, although I believe the baptismal index for St. Johns Belfast lists 1844. He was the oldest son of Alexander Mac/McGregor and Ann MacLennan, both from Scotland. He also had a younger brother, Alexander MacGregor who married Mary Beaton as well as two older sisters: Ann and Christy who married Angus MacRae. I recently found on the PEIGS website that his parents (Alex & Ann) died in 1846 according to the cemetery transcriptions for Valleyfield Cemetery. I was very curious to see if there was any possible way to find out what happened that both of Farquhar's parents died at a fairly young age and in the same year. This also happened to be the year his brother Alexander was born. I found mention of the "McGregor Orphans" in the 1849 Pauper's Report. Additionally, there was mention that one of the children was placed with John McPhee?? Any info surrounding the circumstances of their death or even just this family at all would be immensely appreciated.

SUTHERLAND/McKAY
I am looking for information on the ancestors of Donald Sutherland and Euphemia McKay. Donald was born at sea c. Jun 1816 and Euphemia was born in Scotland c.1819.
They were apparently married in the New London area in the early 1840's and had 3 children born in New London and baptised at St. John's Presbyterian, Belfast; Hugh McKay in Apr 1843, Janet McIntosh in Feb 1845 and George William in Dec 1847.
The family moved to Woodstock, Ontario around 1848 where 5 additional children were born between 1848 and 1860. Euphemia died in Apr 1870 in Thamesford, ON and Donald died in Apr 1879 in Thamesford.
I believe Hugh's daughter, Nellie, may be my great grandmother, but I'm having difficulty in filling in blank years between the 1871 census and my grandmother's birth in 1888 so any information might be helpful.

MASTERS MCLEAN
need info on William Masters (1850-1915) and wife Mary Ann McLean (1840-1902). I find them in the 1881 census in Charlottetown with their 2 year old daughter Harriet (my husband's grandmother). They emigrated to Boston about 1883. In 1881 census of Charlottetown, they also have living with them 18 yr old Daniel McLean and 24 yr old Mary J. McLean. Who are they? possibly siblings or offspring of Mary Ann? in the US 1900 census, it says that she had 6 children total, with 5 living at the time of the census. Only Harriet came to the US and she was thought to be an only child. At Mary Ann's 1902 death, her parents were listed as Laughlin McLean and Catherine McKay. We have no information on William Masters, but would love to gain some. does he fit into anyone's research?

I am trying to locate information on his first wife who would have died before 1789 when he remarried. As he moved to PEI in 1787 from the Detroit/Niagara region it seems likely that she died in PEI and the children from this marriage were raised in PEI as well.

MC/MACDONALD
Still trying to find my McDonald PEI roots – from 1840, Charlottetown.

This is from: The Harvard Graduates' Magazine

Dr. James Athanasius McDonald, m '1866, one of the oldest physicians in Charlestown, MA died there Dec. 8, 1910, of pneumonia. He was seventy years old. His son, James A. McDonald, Jr., '04, a lawyer, died a week before. Dr. McDonald was a member of the Legislature from the old city of Charlestown in 1886, a member of the Charlestown School Board from 1869 to 1873, and for 18 years a member of the Boston School Board. He had lived in the Bunker Hill district since he came from his native place in the early sixties. He was born in Charlottetown, P. E. I., May 2, 1840, the son of Ronald and Mary (McDonald) McDonald, both of whom were descendants of Highland pioneers who, after the battle of Culloden, were forced, on account of their devotion to the Stuart cause and their adherence to the Catholic Church, to emigrate to Canada. Dr. McDonald attended the schools of his native place, later studying at St. Dunstan's College. He was a graduate of the Prince of Wales College. After three years spent in teaching he entered Harvard Medical School, graduating in 1866. Immediately after taking his degree he settled in Charlestown and began the practice of medicine. It was largely through Dr. McDonald's able efforts as chairman of the committee on drawing that the present system of art instruction in the Boston public schools was made possible. As surgeon of the Ninth Infantry he was connected with the Mass. Volunteer Militia from 1870 to 1874. Dr. McDonald was a member of many societies, including the Harvard Medical Society, Mass. Medical and Gynecological Society, Catholic Union of Boston, the Catholic Literary Union of Charlestown (of which he was president, 1895 to 1899), the Holy Name Society of St. Mary's Church, Charles- town; he was also president of the conference of St. Vincent de Paul Society connected with St. Mary's Parish. He was a former member of the Clover Club, the Bostonian Society, and the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company. He was also a charter member of Hamilton Court, M. C. O. F., and physician for a Charlestown lodge of the A. O. U. W., and Clan Stuart of Charlestown. He married Anne Sprague, daughter of Rufus and Mary (Ford) Sprague of Charlestown. Dr. McDonald leaves a widow, two sons. Dr. W. J., m '99. and Dr. L. R. McDonald, а '01, and a daughter, Anna MacDonald.

ALEXANDER MURCHISON
I've been trying very hard to find imformation on how my ancestor, Alexander Murchison first immigrated from Scotland. I am wondering if there is any chance that he may have immigrated on the Polly 1803. He was born 25Dec1776. The first mention of him was in New Brunswick when he enlisted in the 104th regiment in(I believe) 1804-Saint John New Brunswick. On the passenger list of the Polly an Alexander Murchison was listed (I believe as #40 or #41) just before a Donald Murchison his wife, Ann McGillviary,and their children. The youngest of their children was listed as Alexander Murchison. However, this Alexander Murchison was just a young infant at the time. On the 1851 Census in New Brunswick, Alexander's father was named John. Donald Murchison (above) had a brother, John. Is it possible or known if the Alexander Murchison first recorded on the passenger list could have in fact been Donald's nephew who had traveled to the new country with his uncle? If he was born in 1776, then he would have been abt. 27 years old. It doesn't make since that the passenger list would first record the name of the youngest child of a family first followed by a list of their parents and their children-once again naming them. I've looked at other possibilities. There are a number of Murchisons that immigrated in the 1700s to the southern states. i.e. No. Carolina. I've spent many hours, actually several years trying to figure this out. If anyone has anything that could help I'd appreciate it. It's important to me. Thanks!

MILLINGTON
MILLINGTON
I have been trying for a few years to discover something about my Great Uncles life on PEI. His name was William 'Bill' Millington and he was a British Home Child.
He was sent from England at age 12 years in 1896. He married twice, firstly to Myrtle Baker, and then to Daisy(Margaret) who had previously been married to Alfred Chappelle of Charlottetown.
He died in 1964.
There must be someone who knows something. Someone must have arranged his funeral. He was buried at Church of Scotland Cape Traverse. I would love to obtain his death cert if anyone can help with this.
He lived with William McDonald when he first arrived up until he left I think to get married. Family lore says that he had a good upbringing and was in public life in a small way.
I know he owned some land and that he also worked for the railway.
One day I would like to visit PEI but I want to know more about William first so that I can see where he was etc.
I paid a genealogist to try to discover more who was very good but only got so far and I want to know more. I would be very grateful for any help.

Land Deed Research
I would like to research the land that my ancestors lived on in Lots 46 and 47 in the early 1800s. I have the old map with their names on it (Stewart, Young, Leet). I believe some of them owned the land outright in the early 1800's.

If I don't know who owns the land now, how do I go about finding the old deeds? I plan on being in PEI to do this research. I'd like to do this myself, but if there is someone who specializes in these kinds of searches, perhaps that is an option.

Any suggestions of any kind will be greatly appreciated.

Annie MacDonald was born in 1859 and died August 8, 1920 at North Granville and is buried at the North Granville Cemetery. She was married to George Mallett of North Granville. There was also a connection to the Burns family, so I am also assuming that a sister might have married into the Burns family and they eventually moved to the Edmonton, Alberta region. There must also have been brothers as some of their descendents lived in the Edmonton region. The family don't seem to have originated from the Lot 21 region.

She was born 1839 in Brusly, LA. The presence of the Longuepees seems to have occured around 1791 where the first marraige in my records appears.

MAHAR/MAHER/MEAGHER
The History of Darnley mentions my Maher family and indicates that their property is (or was in 1982 when the book was published) one of the PEI Century Farms, and shows a few pictures of family members.

Does this Century Farm still exist as such? Are there any particular historical records kept anywhere due to its status? Where might I look for such records? Can the farm be visited?

The earlest Maher on the island in my family, Edward MAHAR is my gr gr grandfather (1790-1875). He is reported as having arrived from Queens Co in the late 1830's.

His son Edward Jr is my gr grandfather, and Edw Jr's son John is my grandfather.

The article says that Edw Jr's 3 children, John, his brother James, and his sister Margaret were raised in Darnley by their grandparents. I'd like to know why?

It also indicates that all 3 settled off the island. From my own research, I know that John went to Bangor, Maine where he died in 1924. He had married a Catherine McAleer who had gone to Bangor from Hope River. In his US records, John claimed to be from Indian River.

Does anyone know where James and Margaret went when they left PEI?

Does anyone have any deeper information than that in The History of Darnley?

I have some information that Edw Sr's wife was an Elizabeth Shiels. Any information about her would also be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Are there any records dating from the late 1600"s to mid 1700s? help! lb

McNeill
I am trying to find details of Alexander McDonald McNeill who was born in Charlottetown PEI approx 1829, possibly Jan 19,to Allan McNeill and Margaret McFadyen. He married in Australia in 1857. He was said to arrive in Australia in 1855.

I received a letter from St John's Lodge 27 years ago indicating Alexander McDonald McNeill, mercantile clerk, applied to join St John's Lodge #562 in Charlottetown, PEI in 1849. He was initiated, passed and raised that year. I have not been able to find out if his age and address were recorded.

I note that in Islander Oct,7,1870 an Allan McNeill's death was reported. Was he Alexander's father? Allan was said to be the oldest surviving member of St John's Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of PEI. He died in his 94th year.

The closest I have got to Alexander's birth record is a baptismal record from St John's Belfast from 1826. The mother's name is Ann and the birth is 3 years earlier than my dates would suggest. I also believe that this Alexander (McNeil) was still alive post 1860 in PEI, after my Alexander had left PEI!

How do I get access to the Lodge records? Does my Alexander have any connections to other McNeills in PEI? If he left PEI in 1850-1855 is there any way of tracing emmigration?

Grateful for any information or advice you may have.

PS I did email Rod Raper at St John's Lodge in August 2008 but I have not heard back from him and his email address is no longer accessible.

Yours sincerely,

Dr Richard McNeill Australia

MCKAY/MCKAY
Dr.John G MacKay, born March 1835 & supposed son of Donald MacKay and Elizabeth Graham died in Los Angeles, California bet. 1900 - 1910. He resided in Lot 21 in 1881 with wife 'Christy' and sons Calvin (21), Alfred/Albert (19) and Hugh (12). In 1900, he is widowed & residing with his brother James D and his family and with another son William Ross, born 18 Aug 1895 probably in Los Angeles (from a 2nd wife presumably).
I'm looking for information on his 1st wife. She is buried in Geddie Memorial Cemetery - MacKay: Christianna, w. of Dr. J. G. Mackay, d. May 12, 1891, Ae. 62.
Age may be a transcription error as Christy was age 41 in the 1881 census. She was presumably age 52.
Also if anyone knows who William Ross' mother might be would also be helpful.

The following record was also located which may be for John. It would appear to indicate that he died in Malpeque, but he was a resident of Los Angeles in 1900 and is buried in Evergreen Cemetery in Los Angeles, along with his brother James.

WOODS/HAMILTON/MCGINNIS
I am looking for information on my gggg-grandfather, Bartholomew Woods, and his family. Bartholomew was born in Ireland circa 1768-1798. He was a captain in the British army (possibly the King's Rangers) and was posted in Canada sometime prior to 1818. He was forbidden to return to Ireland for doing a favour for a Frenchman, and settled in P.E.I. (I don't know which lot). He married a Matilda Hamilton. They had two known children:

1. John Woods (may have married someone with last name Gillis; no other information known)
2. Daniel Leo Woods, born 1818 in P.E.I.. Married Joanna/JoAnn McGinnis (born circa 1820).

Daniel and Joanna had the following children: Alexander (b. circa 1839), Phineas Edward (b. April 1841, P.E.I.), Matilda (b. circa 1844), Sophia (b. circa 1847), James (b. circa 1849), Ambrose (b. circa 1851), Sarah (b. circa 1853), Daniel (b. circa 1857), Mary (b. circa 1860), John Leo (b.circa 1862). The family was living in Pugwash, Nova Scotia by 1860.

I have been unable to find any record of Bartholomew Woods or his wife, Matilda Hamilton. I am starting to wonder if he may have gone by the name "Daniel" (full name, perhaps, Bartholomew Daniel or Daniel Bartholomew) as I have found a mention in the King's Rangers muster roll of a Daniel Woods, discharged soldier, who settled in Prince Edward Island in 1784.

I am also looking for Joanna McGinnis's parents.

Any information or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

PICTOU ISLAND
I have corresponded with many by email at some point over the past ten years regarding the genealogy of persons who have lived on Pictou island or who have Pictou Island connections. My research is about to bear fruit, as I am now completing a history of Pictou Island and its residents, which I hope to have published by the 200th anniversary events in August. Publication details are still a moving target.

The book is intended to include all persons on Pictou Island between its initial settlement about 1819 and the 1911 Canadian census – as well as their known descendents who were born before about 1930. Persons born after 1930 are generally not being included for privacy reasons. There will probably over 800 individuals. Most readers with Pictou Island roots should be able to identify a parent or grandparent, which will take them to preceding generations, in some cases for six or seven generations. Where possible, the book will also include the Scottish ancestry and origins of the original settlers, especially the MacCallums, MacDonalds, MacLeans, McFarlanes and Pattersons. It will also address the Prince Edward Island families from Wood Islands/White Sands/Little Sands/Murray Harbour/Murray River who settled on Pictou Island in the late 1800’s through about 1920.

I am soliciting the assistance of anyone who is interested in making the book more personal, rather than being in part a recitation of the facts relating to our various ancestors. (I have no pretense as to it being as lively as Jim Turple's "Memories of Pictou Island.") I would be grateful if anyone has photographs of Pictou Island or its residents that they would contribute for publication. Photos of the various residents (especially the ‘formal’ portraits that many people had before World War I), as well as photos s that show daily life and activities on Pictou Island – the type of photos that you see in the little books dealing with the history of particular communities – would be especially useful.

I am also interested in family bibles or other family papers that cover immigration from Scotland , births/deaths/marriages before 1910, or the out migration of Pictou Islanders to other areas. For example, Catherine Ann McDonald died in 1915; does anyone know what happened to the receipt for her passage from Tobermory (on Mull in Scotland), that was mentioned in her obituary – “Miss MacDonald was born in Scotland and the receipt for money paid for the passage of the family by her father, from Tobermory, to this side of the water, is still preserved by descendents. Deceased was an aunt of Mssrs. Daniel and George MacDonald."

Lastly, most of us with Pictou Island ancestry or connections have heard stories about the Island and our ancestors: where they went, what they did, and the peculiarities of daily life. In my family’s case, research has substantiated many of the stories my father told me about his grandfather, who was born in 1835; this makes his discussion much more alive. Similar family stories or information about the Pictou Islanders – which probably cannot be found in public records would make the book more interesting would be very helpful.

Thanks,

Ken MacCallum

Roy was married to an Elizabeth and a Mary. They may be the same woman or they may be sisters. I don't know. I have records that state he is married to an Elizabeth V.

I am hoping someone out there may have info on the Thomas and Anna Belle Donovan family. They were both born on PEI. I don't have any documentation on them since all records were lost in a fire at a church in PEI. There is no grave marker that I am aware of since Thomas was buried a pauper. The information I do have is that Thomas was a sailor and that he drank a lot. Anna Belle was a cook and they had a daughter named Esther who moved to MA and married John McArdle of Lowell. I am hoping to find out who their parents are and where they came from. Right now I am completely stumped on how to continue.

JAMIESON
Hello, first I would like to thank all the kind folk who answered my previous queries. I appreciate your time and effort. I am posting this time to ask a few more questions. I am the granddaughter of Catherine Jamieson who was the daughter of John Jamieson and Catherine Oldis. My great great grandparents were Donald Jamieson and Mary Eleanor Murphy. I am planning my first trip to PEI with my family. This is quite exciting for me as my father, Catherine's son, was never able to make this trip. I think someone sent me information stating Donald Jamieson's home no longer stands. I was wondering if someone could give me directions to where that had been, so I could drive by. I am also wondering if John and Catherine Jamieson's home still stands? I would like to be able to drive by that also. I know on the map Jamieson Lane is across from Oldis Rd, so I plan on visiting that area. Are there any special places a Jamieson descendent should see while there? I do plan on visiting St Paul's cemetery. I have a partial list of family members buried there. Are there any nice places to stay in Montague? I know my husband and teenage sons will want to golf, see the beaches, etc but I am especially interested in just seeing the island where my grandmother was born.

According to a story from my grandfather, my great-great-grandmother moved to Souris PEI with her two children after the death of her husband. After much searching I've found them listed in the 1881 Census for Township 45. It took so long because the name Forbrigger is quite rare and I've found it spelled almost a dozen different ways in various records. In the Census my g-g-grandmother's daughter is listed as 12 years old and going to school. I was wondering if there are school registers or other records for that time period. I would like to establish approximately how long they may have lived there.

Sons and Daughters of the Maritime Provinces
Newspaper: The San Francisco Call
Issue Date: 1904-10-14

Natives of Maritime Provinces Found Social Order in Oakland

Oakland, Oct. 13 - An organization known as the Sons and Daughters of the Maritime Provinces has just been formed in Oakland by those who came from outside the precincts of this State. The new society will extend it's influence throughout California.

The maritime provinces are those sections of Canada that border upon the Atlantic Ocean,and all natives of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island are entitled to membership. Two hundred and twenty of those who came from those three provinces have been found in and about Oakland, and they have banded themselves together for mutual help and advancement. It is intended to give all those who come from those sections of Canada an opportunity to associate themselves with the new organization, and those who wish to affiliate may communicate with W. H. Bull, the secretary, at 951 Washington street, this city.

The idea of the organization was originated by H. C. Tupper. The following gentlemen and ladies have been placed in charge of the destinies of the new society: President, H. C. Tupper; vice president W. L. Dimmick; secretary, W. H. Bull; financial secretary, F. Smith; treasurer, Captain J. H. O'Brien; chairman of the social committee, Miss Margaret Annand; executive committee (in addition to the officers), Rev. Fred Johnstone and Rev. Richmond Logan.

DROMORE INFORMATION
My message is for Liz who was asking for information about Dromore settlers. I too tried sending an e-mail to the address posted; there was a delivery failure.
My father was from Dromore - his great grandfather was one of the original settlers. I've been gathering a lot of information about his family...maybe some of it would be helpful to you. Perhaps you could reply to my address.

Maine US census 1930 has him living with daughter Nellie Keyser at 71 Pearl Street, Bangor, Maine. Date and place of burial unknown but possibly Bangor, Maine. I believe his father was Ebenezer Crossman, specific details not certain.

JAMIESON STURGEON AREA
I am searching for any information on the family of my grandmother Catherine Jamieson born in 1881 Lot 61 Sturgeon. She was the daughter of John Jamieson and Catherine Oldis. John Jamieson was the son of Donald Jamieson and Mary Eleanor Murphy. I have received some information from distant relatives but I would appreciate any information. I would also like info on Catherine Oldis. The map that was sent to me by the PEI geneology society had a Oldis Rd intersect a Jamieson Rd. I would imagine those names just reflected the family homes on those streets. I can't really find any info on Catherine Oldis. I would also love to hear from any Jamieson relatives that would like to get in touch with me. I am hoping to visit the Island someday. PS. I do have information already from the St Paul's cemetery.

She was born in Cape Bear (Lot 64, King’s County). The 1841 PEI census lists a Neil McLean Lot 64 with 1 son and 1 dgt under 16, 3 individuals were born in PEI and 1 in the British Colonies.

ELLIS, MC ARTHUR
I need help finding the parents of John ELLIS and Flora MC ARTHUR. I can find both ELLIS and MC ARTHUR families in PEI but none seem to include the couple listed below.

On 10 Oct 1833, at Richmond, John ELLIS, bachelor, (Lot 11) married Flora MC ARTHUR, spinster, (Lot 16) by license from the Lieut. Governor. Witnesses were Alexander MC ARTHUR and John CAMPBELL.

Flora's death record, 20 Feb 1883, in Boston, MA, USA, states that her parents were Dougal MC ARTHUR and Elizabeth.

John's death record, 16 Dec 1891, in Boston, MA, USA, states that he was born in England of English parents.

I have found 10 children of John and Flora, all born on PEI, beginning with George Henry ELLIS, (b. 29 Feb 1840; m.Catherine MC DONALD, 30 DEC 1867, Halifax, NS; d. 6 July 1924, Lonsdale, RI, USA). The other children are Caroline (b. abt 1843; m. Robert WEBSTER,19 Dec 1860, PEI; d. after 1920, MA, USA), James S. (b.8 Jan 1844; m. Agnes C. ?(Russell), abt 1864; d. 10 Sept 1912, Pawtucket, RI, USA), Agnes (b. Oct 1845; m. James BRANDER, 31 Jan 1866, PEI; d. 1 June 1923, Everett, MA, USA), Lydia Jane (b. 2 Aug 1847; m. Edward CARROL, 23 Aug 1864, Richmond, PEI; d. 11 June 1929, Everett, MA, USA), Robert Henry (b. 28 Sept 1848; m. Mary E Cole, 6 July 1880, Boston, MA, USA; d. 21 Oct 1894), John (b. 7 Nov 1852; m. Charlotte Cannon, 23 June 1879, Boston, MA, USA;), Joseph Cooper (b. 7 July 1854), Herbert William (b. 23 Aug 1858; m. Josephine V. Kenney, 14 Oct 1879, Boston, MA, USA), Laura Catherine (b. 7 Oct 1858; m. Charles William HOLMES, 5 June 1878, Boston, MA, USA; d. 24 May 1898, Everett, MA, USA).

The entire family seems to have moved to Massachusetts and Rhode Island in the 1870s; the only member I cannot find there is Joseph Cooper ELLIS.

Who and where are John and Flora's parents? Were Flora's parents born on PEI or in Scotland? Is John a cousin of the ELLIS shipbuilding family? Are there any other children born to this couple, particularly before George Henry? And what happened to Joseph?

Thank you for your help.

I am searching for information on Catherine "Kate" Timmons, born in the early 1900's at Mount Stewart, PEI. She was the daughter of John David Timmons and Irene Dwyre of Mount Stewart. I was told by someone from PEI that she married a gentleman from Fort Augustus, PEI (didn't know his name). Would there be any married record of Catherine "Kate" Timmons probably in the late 1920's or early 1930's for that area or surrounding area of PEI? Would there be any descendants of Catherine "Kate" Timmons and her husband family living in Fort Augustus or surrounding area of PEI? Also looking for information of John David Timmons and Irene Dwyre others three children born in Mount Stewart: Lorraine, Gilbert and Harry. I was told that Gilbert and Harry moved away during the Second World War. Would appreciate any help and information what may be found. Hope to hear from somebody soon.

For some period of time, she lived in Bangor, PEI, before going missing.(I am unable to put a date on the year of her disappearnce. Still researching that, but think it was in the late 1920s.)At the time of her disappearance, she lived in Bangor with her sisters Minnie Sophie Jardine and Eldora Savilla Jardine.

PARSONS and McKENNA
I have a Joseph James Parsons born August 19, 1881 or August 20, 1882 - PEI. Either Charlottetown or Mt. Stewart. He immigrated in 1881 to the Boston area. In September 1902 he married a Mary Woolf and in the NEHGS record it states that he was from Mt. Stewart, PEI. They had 9 children. We think his father was Edward L. (Lorenzo?????) Parsons - an engineer of a ferry boat????? Joseph's mother was a Mary Anne McKenna and we know nothing of her except that she is PEI born. A cousin named Arthur Daniel Parsons, born August 20, 1877, lived with Edward and Mary and their son Joseph. Don't know of any siblings.

Joseph is the grandfather of a lady I went to school with in Brookline, MA and she is trying to find out more about her Parsons family. Does anyone have any more information. Please email me at mcphee98 [at] yahoo [dot] com Many thanks.

MILLINGTON
I have been trying for a few years to discover something about my Great Uncles life on PEI. His name was William 'Bill' Millington and he was a British Home Child.
He was sent from England at age 12 years in 1896. He married twice, firstly to Myrtle Baker, and then to Daisy who had previously been married to Alfred Chappelle of Charlottetown.
He died in 1964.
There must be someone who knows something. Someone must have arranged his funeral. He was buried at Church of Scotland Cape Traverse. I would love to obtain his death cert if anyone can help with this.
He lived with William McDonald when he first arrived up until he left I think to get married. Family lore says that he had a good upbringing and was in public life in a small way.
I know he owned some land and that he also worked for the railway.
One day I would like to visit PEI but I want to know more about William first so that I can see where he was etc.
I paid a genealogist to try to discover more who was very good but only got so far and I want to know more. I would be very grateful for any help.

PEIGS Lecture on Dembo Suckles:
The PEI Genealogical Society is pleased to host a lecture in association with the Beaconsfield Historic House on Thursday, February 26. Diane Whitcomb from Denver, Colorado will be the guest speaker and her talk is entitled "Researching Dembo in the American Revolutionary Period". Whitcomb is a descendant of black slave Dembo Suckles who lived in Georgetown (lot 59) in the late 1700s. She has compiled a genealogy about the Suckles family that also includes research on other early Island families - the Creeds, the Princes and the Higgins. David Higgins and his brother Cornelius were two of the earliest English settlers on the Island. Her talk will explore whether Dembo Suckles ever belonged to PEI's David Higgins and will also look at Dembo's possible whereabouts from 1767-1782 when he is found in the home of William Creed in Providence, Rhode Island. The lecture takes place at 7:30pm, February 26 in Beaconsfield's Carriage House, located at the corner of West and Kent Streets in Charlottetown. Admission is by donation and light refreshments will be served.

I have mentioned Dembo several times in the past in the Island Register newsletter and can't help being fascinated by his life and accomplishments, and the legacy he left behind for his many descendants. He was a remarkable man who came to be very highly respected by his community.

MacNaught History Centre and Archives invites all PEI Genealogical Society members and other readers of this newsletter to visit Wyatt Heritage Properties and experience the range of services and amenities we offer. Also check us out online at http://www.wyattheritage.com/ where we sport a new look webpage.

Admission to the MacNaught History Centre and Archives is free.

Watch for more details on our Genealogy for Beginners course spread over 6 Saturdays from March 28 to May 9. (no class Easter Saturday April 11) Email fredhorne [at] wyattheritage.com or call 902-432-1332 for information or to put your name on the list to attend -this may be the perfect time to introduce some friends to the rewarding hobby of Genealogy! The course offering will be a slightly condensed version of the course designed by Bill and Elizabeth Glen for the PEI Genealogy Society and it will be offered at MacNaught History Center and Archives so after less than 3 hours of presentation the rest of the day will be free to practice your research at the Centre.

Watch for more details on our Genealogy Conference to be held October 1st to 3rd this year! Yes, this year, our big event is coming up fast. We hope that the high profile speakers and topics will be of interest to a wide range of family history enthusiasts and genealogists from all over the Maritimes and beyond. During Heritage Week February 16th to 20th we will announce all the details of what to expect in October. In some ways it will be two conferences in one as we plan an exciting selection of cultural activities for the spouses and significant others of the genealogy add**ts. Or perhaps it will be the perfect thing for the whole family to do if a genealogy session is just not up to your level. Ambitious or not, you might say we want to put the 'family' back into family history.

Within the past several months we held a successful Genealogy Day, launched a new look (and new content) for our Membership Service - now called http://www.peiancestry.com - and continued to respond to requests for genealogical information on Island families.

On October 18 we raised the profile of genealogy by holding a Genealogy Day. Activities included an introductory to Genealogical research session at MacNaught History Centre and Archives in the morning. At 1:00 pm we welcomed visitors to the Wyatt Heritage Properties' Lefurgey Cultural Centre for a 'scavenger hunt' where participants tried to guess the identities of Summerside-connected personalities from the past. An eclectic crowd it was ranging from Gene MacLellan to Honourable Thane Campbell to Elaine Harrison. Each character was depicted and provided 'clues to their identity' in a separate room of the house. The Summerside Katimavik group of young people from across Canada played the mystery guests - complete with costumes. After all the guesswork was finished all stayed on for a special meting of the PEI Genealogical Society held in the beautifully restored ball room of the Lefurgey Cultural Centre. Guest Speaker Glenda Coughlin treated everyone to a passionate information-packed talk on her research work capturing the names of Islanders in the US census.

Watch the News and Events section of our webpage http://www.wyattheritage.com/mainsite3/index.asp for further information.


Thank you to the PEI Genealogical Society for all the continuing support and for this opportunity to update society members.

Hi All
In Saturday, 31/01/2009 edition of the Globe and Mail, the odituaries is for Mollie Gillen. She is descended from John Small of Australia.
He had been a British Marine, discharged in the 1780s, to become a highway robber. He was shipped to Australia in 1787 for his efforts.
One of the prominent PEIers was John Small MacDonald of West River. He was named after a John Small who had been in the military with his father. Does anyone know if these 2 John Smalls was the same person?

Hi,

I am looking for any information on descendants of Clement West. Clement arrived in 1895 from England. He sailed on the Carthaganian ship from Liverpool England on 15th June 1895. He was only 7/8 years old

He appears on the PEI 1901 census as a "domestic". There is a possibility he married a lady named Margaret Annie Matheson.

Any information you may have would be greatly appreciated. Clement is my great grandmothers brother, and he was seperated from his birth family and sent to your country via Middlemore Childrens homes project

GASS, John - Obituary
Just found this obituary from "The Times." Not sure where he died - it's unclear.

Times, The (United Kingdom); 03/17/2005

Section: Features, Obituary, pg. 64


John Gass, ophthalmologist, was born on August 2, 1928. He died on February
26, 2005, aged 76.

Eye specialist whose innovative treatment of retina damage saved sight for
thousands.

THE ophthalmologist John Gass was one of the world's leading experts on
diseases of the eye.

John Donald MacIntyre Gass was born in 1928 in Prince Edward Island, Canada,
and raised in Nashville, Tennessee. His father was director of tuberculosis
control for the state.

In 1946 Gass went to Vanderbilt University in Nashville to study science and
medicine. He received his bachelors degree in 1950 and his medical degree in
1957 (after serving with the US Navy in the Korean War, 1950-53). After an
internship at the University Hospital, Iowa City, he went to the Wilmer Eye
Institute at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland, to complete a
residency in ophthalmology.

In 1963 he joined the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute at the University of Miami
School of Medicine, where he became Professor of Ophthalmology in 1972. In 1995
he returned to Nashville to be professor emeritus in the department of
ophthalmology and visual sciences at the Vanderbilt School of Medicine.

His pioneering research into diseases of the retina and uvea, the pigment
bearing layer of the iris, led to treatments that have saved many tens of
thousands of people from blindness.

One of his important discoveries was that a stretching of tissue in the retina
produces holes in the macula, the highly sensitive area at the centre of the
retina responsible for detailed vision. Partial holes cause wavy, distorted and
blurred vision; patients with larger holes lose central vision entirely. Injury
and diseases can cause macular holes, but the most common cause is the ageing
process. Thanks to Gass's work the condition can now be cured in more than 90
per cent of cases.

Gass was a prolific writer. In addition to writing more than 270 articles, he
produced a classic text in his field, the two-volume Stereoscopic Atlas of
Macular Diseases: Diagnosis and Treatment, the most extensive coverage of
diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of macular disease available, now in its
fourth edition.

Gass helped to develop the use of fluorescein angiography, a diagnostic test
that traces a vegetable dye injected into blood vessels in the retina, to
reveal patterns of leaking from the vessels. The test identifies a form of
macular degeneration that occurs when abnormal blood vessels bleed under the
retina. The central vision may be permanently damaged.

Gass received numerous medals, honours and awards, including the Helen Keller
Prize for Vision Research (2001) and the Laureate Recognition Award of the
American Academy of Ophthalmology (2004). He was cited for outstanding
achievement by almost all the leading professional ophthalmology organisations
and by many academic institutions.

In 1999 he was chosen by 33,000 ophthalmologists around the world as one of
the 20th century's ten most influential ophthalmologists. For all these honours
he was a modest man, a humanitarian with a fine intellect, whose dedication won
the esteem of his colleagues. His students praised him as superb teacher.

His wife and four children survive him.

I really have enjoyed your site. I am researching the Ramsay family. I have made it back to William Ramsay (b. possibly Oct 4, 1855 in Elmsdale) m. Elizabeth I. (possibly Stewart) (b. abt. 1866). Back in 1881 they were living next to Archibald (b. abt. 1796) and Ellen (b. abt. 1801) Ramsay in Lot 4. (Alerton area). I don't know if this is Wm's father or grandfather. Wm. and the family moved to Boston, MA in 1893. Any info on this family would be greatly appreciated.

Your site has been so helpful, I want to share something with everyone. I want to share two links to PEI Directories I found at the website www.archive.org. This site is great and you can find thousands of old books, etc that have been scanned in full.
Frederick's PEI Dir. 1889-90 : http://www.archive.org/details/1889t90fredericksprin00charuoft

LANDERS and MCCLURE
Ohio again. Now I have Ralph Abner Landers born in Somerville, MA on September 23, 1873. His father was Stephen Landers from Nova Scotia. His mother is Isabella Adams who was born on Isle of Man, England. There are eight of their children mentioned.

Ralph A. Landers came to Toledo in 1902 and opened a branch plant of the Landers Brothers Company.

On January 28, 1902 he married Annetta McClure, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John McClure, "members of a prominent family of Prince Edward Island."

Three children are listed: John W. Landers (deceased); Robert G. born in Toledo in 1905 and Sarah Louise born in 1912.

It's my guess that Sara who married William A. Martin and Annetta are sisters or at least related.

DANIEL LIVINGSTONE (LOTS 13, 65)
I’m trying to trace the general movement of some of my ancestors and their relatives over time. In “The Livingston’s of Clyde River, Lot 31†there is a Daniel Livingstone listed:

“…Daniel (BIG DAN) LIVINGSTONE (Duncan3, Donald LIVINGSTON2, Donald1). Born in 1863 in Baltic Road, Lot 31, PEI and died in 1941. Buried in Burnside Pres. Church, Clyde River, PEI. Occupation: Farmer. Religion: Baptist >> Presbyterian. User ID: MP22273….†His wife is listed as “Agnes _______â€.

I found in a c1925 atlas a Daniel Livingston living on 40 Acres in the Long Creek area of Lot 65 – a place listed as McNeill land on the Lake Map. In the 1925 atlas, his wife is listed as Anna McPhee. Is it possible that the Daniel in the Atlas is “Big Dan†– or was there another Daniel living in that area at the time, that doesn’t appear on the Clyde River list?

HISTORY - BRIG RAMBLER
I have read in several sources about the tragic wreck of the brig Rambler of Leith, at the Bay of Bulls in Newfoundland, on the 29th of October 1807. Among the 138 that perished (there were only 8 survivors), was the ship’s Master, Capt. James Norris Jr. Was this the same Capt. James Norris that was Master of the voyage of the Rambler to PEI in June of 1806 – or was the earlier voyage captained by his father James Norris Sr. (the owner of the brig Rambler)? (Apologies if this specific info is available on the website – I wasn’t able to find it).

ALLEY FAMILY
I recently found mention of the Alley family in PEI. I am a descendant of an Alley "tree" that I have traced back to 1698 in Wiltshire, England. While most of these people remained in Wiltshire, some went farther afield and I was wondering if any of them had gone to PEI? Does anyone know of a connection to the Alleys of Wiltshire, or other parts of England, and PEI?

I would be very interested in replies as I have a number of Alleys who "vanished" from my tree and it is possible they went to Canada.

ANGUS and FANNY MACDONALD
The other day I was in the St Jerome's Catholic cementry in
Caledonia West Queens county, NS and
among the headstones to the Irish in the area, there was
2 small head stones in the 1905 - 1910 era to two children
of Angus and Fanny MacDonald. Any idea who they were?
It always amazes me how the Irish made a living in this area.
Remains of houses still can be found but it takes some looking.
Very few descendents remain in the area but I believe they do have
descendents in other parts of NA.

LADY CONSTABLE
Searching for descendants of the Lady Constable immigrants:

In 1847, 444 destitute Irish emigrants fled famine on the sailing vessel the Lady Constable and landed in Charlottetown Harbor. Twenty five passengers died of typhus during the crossing, many were hospitalized on arrival and thirty died in quarantine. A large memorial stone with bronze plaque is in the process of being erected in the old Catholic cemetery on Longworth Avenue and will be dedicated on May 21, 2009 to commemorate the anniversary of their arrival.

Many of the families appear to have settled in the vicinity of the Monaghan Road. Some names listed in the quarantine hospital according to the Fall/Winter 1994 issue of The Island Magazine were: Berrigan, Boylan, Bradly, Burns, Carpenter, Casscelly, Carver, Coles, Clarken, Finnegan, Flanning, Garven, Griffin, Hammell, Hannah, Hughes, Kearns, Keon, Maloney, McEwie, McGrath, McKenna, McKinnon, McQuaid, Malloy, McMahon, Morell, Noone, Regan, Sherry, Trainer, Walker, Walsh, Watson, and Wright.

I’m guessing that she was baptized at St. Jean Baptiste RC church there, but as far as I can tell, their records are not online.

MAC DONALD/BRIGGS
Looking for information on Matilda MacDonald married to George E. Briggs about 1903. She was the daughter of Alexander Joseph MacDonald and Katherine McDougall of Georgetown. She was born 9 Feb 1871 and was baptized at St. James Church in Georgetown 17 Feb 1871. Her father's obituary of 1912 refers to her as Mrs. George Briggs of St. Louis, MO. I have found a lady by the name of Matilda Briggs on the 1910, 1920, 1930 U.S. census with a husband George Briggs. A George E. briggs died in 1945 in St. Louis, MO. His wife is listed as Matilda A. Briggs. Could this be the correct couple? A Matilda A. Briggs died in 1959 and is buried at Calvary Cemetery in St. Louis. Her age is given as 88. That makes her a good candicate to have been born in 1871.
Sibblings of Matilda were:
Laura Clementine married to Joseph McRae
John C.
Helen who went to MA married name Dickinson
Florence who went to MA and was supposed to have been a nurse
Charles married to Eva King
Reg died suddenly as an adult
Mary Marcella who died 14 April 1891

Pioneer Cemetery Restoration Committee Update
Attention all descendents of early Scottish settlers in eastern PEI. We need your help!

This Pioneer Cemetery was established in the late seventeen hundreds when the Scottish pioneers settled the area. The Cemetery served the area from St Peters to East Point and is situated next to the site of one of the earliest Catholic Churches in PEI (1803). There are approximately 120 headstones remaining but early records indicate that there were many more buried there.

The Restoration Committee has begun the process clearing the shrubbery and trees from the site. We have discovered the stone wall that surrounds the cemetery. The Pioneer Cemetery still stands in an acute state of disrepair. Our goal is to preserve and protect the rich heritage of this site and honor our ancestors.

We appeal to those who know of people buried in the St Margaret of Scotland Pioneer Cemetery in St. Margarets, PEI to contact the committee. Any information is welcome i.e. stories, pictures, maps, etc so that we can compile a history and develop a website.

Due to the rapid deterioration of the site, the restoration of the stones needs to start immediately. We appreciate any support you can offer to the Pioneer Cemetery Fund. Thank you in advance for your generosity.

Mail donations to:
Pioneer Cemetery Fund c/o St Margarets Parish, RR #2 Fairfield, PEI C0A 2B0 A Tax receipt will be issued at years end!

For more information, contact Anne Kells at 569-2399 or Helen MacDonald at 687-2505. Or you can email at our new address: pioneer [at] ekpei [dot] ca

Note for Catherine Cory
CATHERINE CORY was probably born in Scotland and probably died in PEI, Canada. Information on Dougald and Catherine were obtained from marriage data on microfilmed records of Rev Beaubien, St. John's Miscouche. “1818, Sept 27 - 'Halene' MacInnis, son of Dougald MacInnis and Catherine Cory of 7 Mile Bay, m Mary MacDonald, da of John (Major) MacDonald and Margaret MacLean of Lot 14.

A document written by Michael Ambrose McInnis (grandson of Allan) mentions four nephews of Allan. The names are Dougald, Archie, and Major McInnis of Grand River West, PEI and Augustine J.

MacIntosh/McIntosh
I am hoping you can help me as I am trying to track down pictures of the following individuals who are sons of Donald MacIntosh 1814-1907 and Margaret Martin 1817-1904. I know Donald and Margaret lived with Murdock MacIntosh up till I think they died.


1) Malcolm MacIntosh born 6 Feb 1844 in Springton, Prince Edward Island, Canada and his wife Euphemia Currie born 27 Feb 1840 in South Shore, PEI.

(2) William MacIntosh born 4 Jul 1852 in Springton, Prince Edward Island, Canada and his wife Mary Ann Proffit born 31 May 1856 in Kildare, PEI.

My great grandparents were Alexander MacIntosh and Frances Lamont. Alexander was also a son of Donald and Margaret.

Thank you,

Kathleen (MacIntosh) Hudson

MARTIN
My great-grandfather was Norman Martin. He is listed in the 1910 census of the U.S., Byron Township, North Dakota, as being 36 years old and born in Canada, and both parents born in Canada. According to the 1881 Canadian census the only Norman Martin born around that time, of Scottish ancestry, is on Prince Edward Island, father named John, also of Scottish ancestry, listed on lot 62, Queens, P.E.I. I was told by my father that my Martins came originally from Inverness, Scotland. Any information would be helpful, thank-you.

Emyvale Emmigrants
Many Emyvale Irish emmigrated to PEI before the famine. I am interested in those who settled in the Kelly's Cross( Lot 29, 65 ) area. The emmigration was arranged o encouraged by Canon Patrick Moynagh ( Monaghan ) in Monaghan. The Ships I'm interested in knowing about are the Agitator, Rose Bank, Thomas Gelston, Margaret Pollack, Lady Anne, Morgania and Connisbruck(Consbrook,Connisbrook).
Does anyone know if Irish sources or the Basilica records has information on the Monaghan emmigrants names?

BANYARD
My grandfather Arthur Charles Banyard arrived in PEI in 1927 as a Baptist Minister. My grandmother Lydia and their two daughters arrived the following year. They stayed until 1931. His eldest daughter is my mother. She was only four years old at the time and can remember very little of her time on PEI.

I would be very grateful if anyone could help me find the church where my grandfather was minister.

Many thanks

Everything that I can find says that Hilda's mothers name was Barclay
Barbara Clow married to John Aule and to James Frederick Cook. They
were all born in Prince Edward Island Canada.Someone has told me that Hildas mother and fathers name was Robert Clow & Mary Harriet Ware........and that Barbara is also a daughter of their's. If you have any
information I would greatly appreciate it, I have been working on the
family tree and have come to a stump in the road.
I am mostly interested in finding information on the CLOW family that is associated with my grandmother Rosanna Foisy

TAYLOR
I am trying to trace information for Charles Ernest Taylor. He would have been born in approx 1870/71. His New Zealand marriage certificate lists his father as Donald taylor, sawmiller and his mother as Helen Sprague. He married Elida Patterson, grandaughter of Gersham Curtis also of PEI. However on one of his son's birth certificates he is listed as having come from New Brunswick so I am unsure if PEI information is correct. I would appreciate if any one may be able to help.
