Stokes Family

auntted7 — 8 Jan 2007 9:14:33 GMT

I have tons of inforamtion on Francis Stokes and Hannah Keans family. I do have missing links whick could help tie the Stoeks group together. Francis, Thomas, Malachi, John and possibly margaret sho up in Cape Island , Cape Freels all about he same time.Given the fact that there were only about 4 to 7 houses and about 66 people living there at the time and the Stokes ' were the only family living in Middle Bill Cove at that time, it is safe to assume that these people were related or at the very least lived with each other. The marriage list for that time shsed some light onwho was living there at that time.
1832 Arthur Roberts married Mary Bundle of Bonavista
1834 Francis Stokes marrried hannah Kean of flowers Island
1837 Jonas Humphry (Noterbury ,, Dorset, England married Susannah Ridout
1839 Renny Ridout married Robert Burry of Newell's Island.
1839 John Ridout (a widower)married Anne Collins a widow from Cobblars Island. ( Her husband was Richard adn they had a Daughter Anne Collins)
1840 Thomas Stokes married MargaretRodeout
1843 Alfred Gotten (later Gaulton) married Margaret Stokes.

these names gives you some idea of who was possibly living in the 4-7 house that were in Cape FReels

Anyone with inforamtion that would shed some light on this would be of great help.

Looking for Long's and Joy's

FRBTA — 13 Aug 2001 6:26:37 GMT

I am looking for information on my great grandparents. One was a William Joseph Long and the other was a Margaret Ann Joy. They both lived in Open Hall. Margaret was a school teacher. I think William was born in wexford Ireland. But I might have that wrong, it may have been William's father that was born in Ireland.
The Long's last name was really Furlong but was changed when they came to Newfoundland.

I think that William and Margaret were born in the 1800's or maybe even the early 1890's.
William's faimly I was told was well known in the area because they had a fishing industry.
Any help finding information out about either one would be wonderful because I'm really stuck. Thanks

JUDGE family, Newfoundland

WARDGREENE — 1 Oct 2006 7:29:03 GMT

Judge is a very rare surname in Nfld., and almost all over past 200 years are related to me. Therefore I am compiling a family tree on ALL families named JUDGE who are in any way connected to Nfld. at any time.So far I have 60 pages. Please email me if you have any connection via ancestry,marriage,etc.,or know of someone else who does. Of course I already have information that is easily available on the net.Any obscure net findings welcome. Happy to share information,of course.
My own Placentia Bay branch is descended in part (my part) from Mary Ellen Miller,of Indian,presumably Mi'Kmaq) descent, who married my GGF,Patrick Judge in 1857 or before. So very much want information on this Miller family also. Her name possibly spelled Elin Miller.
Thanks.Ward. wardgreene@hotmail.com

Notes from the Admin

decann — 21 Apr 2006 2:07:01 GMT

This is just a quick note to introduce myself as the new Admin of this board, and also to let everyone know that we now have a companion mailing list on RootsWeb just created this week. Simply put, this means any post put on this board now goes through the gateway to the list as well. If you would like to subscribe to the list, please click on the following link for directions on how to do so:

http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/intl/CAN/CAN-NF-BONAVISTA-BA...

As you might expect from something so new, the list is very "low-volume" at the moment, but I hope we can change that in the future. If you have any genealogical or historical information to share that is related to the topic here, please post it and let's see if we might spur a little bit of activity, and in the process share some information with some friends you may never have met yet.

I will be looking forward to meeting and working with all of you in the future. Do drop me a line at any time, but please understand that I do not have the time or resources to respond to personal queries, although you will see me do so on the list and/or board as often as time and personal knowledge allow.
