Maughlin

mispeck — 5 Oct 2008 11:57:25 GMT

The surname MAUGHLIN appears twice on the 1851 census, both in the parish of Glenelg. Laurence age 11 and John age 12.

It appears that the two are brothers but they are living separately and listed as servants in their respective homes. Laurence is in the home of Alexander REINSBOROUGH and John is in the home of James LYNCH. Both claim to be of Irish descent but born in NB.

I have been unable to find either on the 1861 census. Does anyone know who these 'brothers' were, what became of them or what their connection might have been to the families they were living with?

SCOTT - Jane or Janet.

jecraig2006 — 5 Apr 2008 2:10:23 GMT

Variously Jane or Janet, she was married to Thomas Craig (my Great Grandfather) with whom (on the 1881 census - according to what I read from LDS) had:-
John CRAIG Male Scottish 14 N B Ch. of Scotland
Maggie CRAIG Female Scottish 16 N B Ch.Scotland
Elizabeth CRAIG F Scottish 11 N B Ch. of Scotland
Agness CRAIG F Scottish 9 N B Ch.of Scotland
William CRAIG M Scottish 3 N B Ch. of Scotland
James CRAIG M Scottish 1 N B Ch. of Scotland

Thomas and Jane's details:-
Thomas CRAIG M Male Scottish 43 Scotl. Laborer Ch. of Scotland
Jane CRAIG M Female Scottish 35 N B Church of Scotland

I've never made any headway researching the Scotts. I think I recall a suggestion that Jane/Janet was from somewhere like Restigouche but that is far from confirmed. It is high time I did know more.
Would there be any further information through Thomas or the children perhaps, and how would I access that? James - my Grandfather - I know something of, but not enough to help.
Which way do I turn?

Thanks anyone.

Johnston-Spence Marriage Record

Supernova7 — 12 Aug 2007 2:34:07 GMT

I'm looking for assistance in locating the marriage certificate of Andrew Johnston and Ann Spence who were reportedly married at Cocagne, Kent County on December 5, 1827.

Kent County was set off from Northumberland Country in 1826 and Early Marriage Records weren't recorded until 1828.

Northumberland County early marriage records start from 1806 but I am not sure if they cover the gap years from 1826-1828.

I know there are plenty of early church records from around the Cocagne/Bouctouche area. I had a brief look at these records when I visited PANB this summer but the Johnston-Spence record wasn't located.

Any advice or assistance gratefully received.

Miramichi, 1820-ish

stackers74 — 5 Oct 2007 5:48:11 GMT

Hey everyone. I know the answer on this already, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed anyway. If my people came to Miramchi via Saint John in the early 1820's (best guess), would there be any record? They left for Melrose/Port Elgin in 1825 because of the Great Fire and that's where I pick them up first. I'm trying to trace back from Melrose through Miramichi because the trail in Saint John is dead. Thanks everyone

Land Grants

jbelkus1 — 4 Jul 2005 1:20:44 GMT

In a book I recently acquired, there is a map of the original land grants for the Bay Du Vin area. I am looking for a land petition/grant for George Chambers. I have been to the PANB site and of course, there is no record showing up. The book was published in 1978 and in the back appendix the sources listed for the grants are "provincial archives land grants L14-L17"..

George had a lot on the east side of the Bay Du Vin river. Otho Robicheau had the lot to the north, P. Williston had the lot to the south.

If anyone can point me in the right direction as to where to look for a record, I would appreciate it.

I am looking at this map and it is just chock full of McDonalds, Willistons, Taylors, Buckleys, etc, etc-all the most popular names!

Help please!

Mersereau query

landsendnb — 22 Aug 2007 10:16:57 GMT

I'm wondering if anybody with a Mercereau/Mersereau family tree database has any information on the parents are of Gain B Mersereau. He lived in Sunbury Co, not Northumberland Co, but I've posted here since there was a recent discussion of this surname.

Here is what I know about Gain B. Mersereau: born around 1793-1795 in NB; died in 1884 in Burton NB. Based on the age listed for Gain in the 1851 and 1881 census, and the death record found in the Dan Johnson database, I think his year of birth is definitely around 1794.

In the 1851 census, Gain Mersereau was living in the Burton NB area with his wife Amelia. He was 56 and she was 36. There were four children living with them (one of them was also called Gain, who was born about 1847).

In the 1881 census, Gain B Mersereau was living with Amelia, and John and Mardison, who I believe were his sons. He was still in Burton NB (Sunbury Co). He was 88. In this record, there was a "W" under marital status which I assumed meant he was widowed. However, Amelia (age 65)was living there as well and Amelia was definitely listed as his wife in the 1851 census.

I also found his name in the 1871 Canadian Genealogy Index (New Brunswick Directory for 1871): Gain B Mersereau living in French Lake Sunbury NB in 1871 and working as a farmer.

Death record (died 08 Feb 1884) states:
d. French Lake, Burton (Sunbury Co.) 8th inst., Gain B. MERSEREAU, 91st year. Deceased was the last member of the Lodge of Free Masons held in Sunbury Co. nearly 70 years.

I have access to Ancestry.com and I have sifted through lots of Mersereau family tree information, but can't seem to find this Gain B Mersereau. I have found records for a Gain Bartlett Mersereau but his information doesn't match up with the above information. There is also lots of information on Gain Taylor Mersereau but I don't believe this is Gain B's son that was born around 1847.

My gut feeling was that Gain B Mersereau might be a grandson of John Mersereau who was born 1735 but I still can't find his name listed under any of the sons of John. One of John's sons, also named John, married Elizabeth Breath, so possibly the "B" in Gain B's name might refer to Breath. Another of John's sons, Andrew, married Elizabeth Bartlett, so perhaps the "B" refers to Bartlett. However, I have seen the children listed for these two men and neither of them had a son called Gain.

I've rambled on enough ... I would appreciate it if anyone has any information or suggestions for me.

Thanks in advance.

The Grumble, Graham, Horton, Morrell, Connection

Pat_Morrell — 15 Aug 2007 9:42:30 GMT

Trying to trace back these Families to their first connection with one another. I believe they all came together in the Chatham, Northumberland area, which eventually turned into the Richibucto and weldford areas of Kent County. My main focus is on the Morrell side of these Families.
Three GRUMBLE Sisters and one Brother were probably born in Kingston Parish,Kings County to possibly a George Grumble and Margaret Myshrall, and migrated to Kent County.

Son George Grumble b. abt. 1806 appears to have been a single person living as a lumber man and Farmer. He is first found in the 1851 Census of Victoria County.

My primary goal is to find the parents of James Morrell who died in Victoria County. I have already ruled out Hugh Morrell and his decendants living in Newcastle, Northumberland in
the 1850’s, because of his immigration date, and also the American Morrell Loyalists Thomas, John, and Daniel, because of a DNA test.

McDonald Family of Glenelg

threemeles — 10 Jan 2007 4:46:18 GMT

I am looking for information on the McDonald family that lived in Glenelg, New Brunswick. They came to Canada in 1831 from Ireland. The parents of this family were James McDonald (born around 1801) and Julia Flanagan McDonald (born around 1810). She is sometimes listed as Judith McDonald. They had seven children who were all born in New Brunswick: George (born 1831), Patrick (born 1834), Maria? (born 1839), Ann (born 1841), Martin (born 1843), Bridget (born 1845), and John (born 1849). I found them in the 1851 and 1861 census.

James died sometime between 1851 and 1861. George and Julia moved to the U.S. after 1861. I have followed them through the U.S. census and I know what became of them. I found Patrick and his family in the 1871 and 1881 Canadian census.

I would like to know what happened to the other children. I would also like to know what part of Ireland they were from. Any information on this family would be appreciated.

Star Baseball Team Chatham NB - 1910

landsendnb — 5 Aug 2007 2:00:12 GMT

The third and final photograph I came across shows the team members of the Star Baseball Team, Chatham NB, Champions of New Brunswick 1910. The team members were:

A Veno
Wm Blewett
G Perry
H Nealy
S Watters
E Synnott
H McLean
G T O'Brien
W W Watling
J Currie
D Handley
J C Godfrey

These men look to be a bit older than those in the other two photos ... possibly between 20 and 30 years old (born between 1880-1890 ??).

Let me know if you have any questions.

Geo C Winslow
J C Godfrey
W T Dower
Albert K McLean
W H Snowball
Chas P Woods
Fritz Hildebrand
Fred Heckbert

Again, these men would all be in their late teens or early twenties so were likely born around 1890, give or take a few years.

Miller/Williston

mispeck — 4 Jul 2007 11:47:08 GMT

On the 1901 census Thomas MILLER is listed as a Domestic in the home of James GRAHAM. Also in the home at the time is Pheobe WILLISTON, and her children Edward, Bartlett and Edith. In 1911 MILLER is listed as HEAD and WILLISTON is his Housekeeper.

Does anyone know who Thomas MILLER was (was he the son of David MILLER and Elizabeth LOBAN?) and what the relationship between he and Williston was?

Keenan of Chatham (Ahearn/Kerr)

mispeck — 16 May 2007 3:56:00 GMT

Still looking for the parents of Mary KEENAN who married Neil AHEARN of Chatham in April 1864.

There were two Keenan families in Chatham in 1861 b(James and Patrick) both with a daughter Mary who disappeared between the 1861 and 1871 census. My suspicion is that Mrs. Neil Ahearn was the Daughter of James Keenan and her brother, James married Agness KERR.

Would welcome hearing from anyone working on any of these names.

Is anyone researching this family line? I have very little info on any of these people except what I have found on PANB, LDS, etc.(and some family sites that have no interest in this particular line)
I would love to find out more about Robert Mackay Jr and his ancestors. I can't find a thing about Elizabeth Bedckwith's father Ichabod except that he was a soldier in the Revolutionary War. I think he might prove to be an interesting character but I can't even find out where he was born or who his parents were.
Any info on any of these names and their siblings, spouses, children, parents, ancestors, descendants, stories, photos, places and things would be of interest to me and greatly appreciated.

MacLean/McLean

Emmett07 — 10 May 2007 6:58:44 GMT

First, can anyone tell me if I'm right by thinking the Mc's came from Ireland and the Mac's from Scotland??

Second, I am looking for any info on John and Annie (Brown) MacLean/McLean. I only know of one child Sarah Jane (1872-1928). Sarah Jane married James Michael Young and on every census later was referred to as just Jane. It also lists her as being of Scottish decent. On any Canadian papers, she is listed as Mc but US papers say Mac.

Any light you can shed will be very helpful!!

Joncas in Newcastle

Jean-Pierre Joncas — 26 Jan 2006 12:57:12 GMT

Hi everyone,

I am researching the Joncas family that established in Newcastle ca 1865.

The gentlemans was Phillip (Joseph-Phylias) Joncas born Grande-Rivière, Gaspé county, on sep 18 1835 (Joseph and Marguerite-Monique Bourdages).
From the 1871 census, the transcrition named him Joneas Phillip married to a Harriet wit 7 kids. See page 108 of NBGS Miramichi Branch.
I would be interested in knowing if the marriage took place in the Miramichi area and when.

The 1881 census (transcription) named him Junco Philip, he is a widow with 10 kids. See district 35, sub-district B, div 3, page 28, Household 116. I do not know if he remarried.

The 1901 census (trancription) named him Jonies Phillip, a widow living with his sister Charlotte and 2 kids. Charlotte was born also in Grande-Rivière on dec 15 1849. See District 19, sub-district J-3, p. 4 household 30. I do not know if Charlotte married.

From the NB archives, I know at least one of his sons James married and lived in Newcastle after 1901.

Phillip died in 1909, Charlotte died in 1929, in theNewcasle area.

Is it possible to get a copy of Phillip marriage to Harriet? Is it possible to get a copy of their death certificate? Is there any Joncas still living in the Miamichi area?

Thanks a lot

Jean-Pierre Joncas, ing.

Bridget McEachern b. July 18, 1882/83 Newcastle.

I beleive her parents may have been William McEachern & Janet Drummond but I don't have any solid evidence. Her marriage register does not provide the parents names. There is a Mary McEachern as a witness. Bridget married George Hansen(on) a widower [beleived to have been married to Catherine Webb previously] on October 22, 1906 in Moncton, NB.

On the 1911 census Bridget and George Hanson are shown living next door to William & Mary McEachern in Newcastle.

George & Bridget had 7 children:
Margaret Bertha, Mary Florence Ellen, Cecile, Doris Catherine, Mildred "Millie", Hudson, Ralph.

Thompson family, are you related?

eljay17 — 17 Dec 2006 12:42:06 GMT

Would like to make contact with anyone researching Thompson/Thomson family in New Brunswick, thanks.

Also some have a date included, those who do not said "birth" or the column was blank so I am guessing this is an immigration date or they were born in New Brunswick but does anyone know if that is a correct assumption?

1851 Parish of Nelson (Northumberland county)

kaksquest — 24 Mar 2005 11:24:39 GMT

Would someone be able to look up the family of John & Euphemia Wilson in 1851 Nelson parish? They would each be about 60 years old.

Are there other John WILSON families in Nelson parish in 1851? (Is there somewhere that the 1851 census is available for searching?)

Thanks!

Buckley of Bay du Vin

@@marilyn_astle@yahoo.ca — 5 Dec 2006 3:46:06 GMT

I believe I may be related to several of the people who have referred to their Buckley ancestors in the John McDonald of Bay du Vin thread. My ancestor Andrew Gray was born in Bay du Vin in 1837 and his baptismal record at St. Patrick’s Roman Catholic Church, South Nelson shows him to be the son of Bridget Buckley and Kiaran Gray.

Bridget Buckley married Theodore Gray in 1834 in Northumberland County. In 1835 William Gray, the son of Theodore Gray and Bridget Buckley, was baptized in St. Patrick’s Church. Were there two Bridget Buckleys (cousins perhaps) who married brothers or cousins? Did Theodore Gray die and his widow marry Theodore’s brother or cousin? Were Theodore and Kiaran the same man? So far I have found no evidence of another Gray-Buckley marriage.

In the 1851 census, 14-year-old Andrew Gray was enumerated with his grandmother Abegail Buckley in the parish of Glenelg, Northumberland County. Also with Abegail was her 12-year-old granddaughter Bridget Gray. Abegail was 78 and widowed. Other household members included Thomas Buckley, her son, aged 35, Ann Murray, aged 46 and described as wife, and William Murray, son aged 15. Everyone in the home was said to be Irish. Abegail, Thomas and Ann were all reported as entering the colony in May 1819.

I would like to exchange information with other Buckley researchers.

1851-1881-1901-1911 Census records online for research

drg2454 — 26 Mar 2007 1:27:49 GMT

Hi Folks

Thought I might list several of the census records on-line that are available for research, and have helped me greatly. They are listed with links as follows:

1851 Canadian census, though not indexed, is searchable by town, some is lost but lots on New Brunswick available:

http://www.collectionscanada.ca/archivianet/1851/001005-100....

The 1881 census is indexed and available thought the LDS:

http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp?P...

the 1901 and 1911 census records, searchable by name and alternates, is available from Automated Genealogy:

http://automatedgenealogy.com/census/index.html

And don't forget Dan Johnson's much appreciated work of newspaper extracts now at the PANB, can really shed light on your New Brunswick ancestors:

http://archives.gnb.ca/APPS/NewspaperVitalStats/?L=EN

As well as all the information at the PANB sight:

Hope this helps someone!

Looking for ANY information regarding Cornelius Wiseman born in the Miramichi, Northumberland Ct. sometime after 1831. He eventually moved to Bathurst and married Ann Wilson whose father was an engineer and apparently had something to do with the construction of a bridge in Bathurst.He had one son, George Alfred, who moved to Port Daniel on the Gaspe coast where he married Ellen Dea. George Alfred's son, Cornelius Stillman Wiseman, was my grandfather.

Thomson/Thompson in Chatham area

David Scott Drane — 14 Oct 2005 9:26:46 GMT

I'm looking for additional information on a Robert Thomson who lived in Napan/Chatham in the early 1800s. Baptism records from the United Church of St. Andrew and St. John in Chatham list his children as Janet McFarlane (b. 1832), Sarah (b. 1834), Aaron (b. 1836), George (b. 1838), and Isabella (b. 1840). The last child was presented for baptism by "Mrs Robt. Thompson (widow)". Other Thom(p)son father listed in the baptism records include: William, David, John, and Joseph. Perhaps one or more of these are siblings of Robert's -- at the very least they are probably cousins.

lNewcastle--Longley Street?

suetinny — 19 Feb 2007 12:58:56 GMT

I am looking for a photographer, probably in the 1890 to 1920 time frame. He was shown as "J. Calder," located at "72, Longley Street, Newcastle."

Unfortunately, I do not know WHICH Newcastle!

Was there or is there a Longley Street in Newcastle? Alternatively, was there a directory that might show this photographer, if he was there?

Thank you!
