Hodder

haydenleah — 7 Aug 2008 11:10:52 GMT

I see there are a ton of Hodder's mentioned in this section and if I am posting in the wrong area let me know (but I saw no Hodder info in Conception Bay.....)
Anyway, I am trying to see if my great great grandfather Henry Hodder is indeed the son of William and Amelia Hodder of Grates Cove. My Henry was born approx 1858 in Nfld, married Jessie Gooby in 1884 in St. Johns West and had 3 children: William James (1888 -bef. 1891) Amelia Jane (b. Feb 1891) and Walter (b. July 1893). Through census records on ancestry.com I have placed Henry in N.S. in 1891 living with his wife and daughter, and his brother William Hodder and sister Elizabeth Hodder. In the 1911 census for N.S., William was no longer living with him, but his sister Maria Palmer (widow) and her two sons William and Henry were living with him. So, I see he has or had at least 3 siblings. I found baptismal records through Bay de verde Anglican on Newfoundland Grand Banks website that included Henry (bapt. Dec 1860) and William James (bap. 7 Aug 1870) being born to a "William and Amelia of Grates". There was also a Maria Hodder born to them, bap. 1 Mar 1863, although the notes say " Eliza Ann is the right name, not Maria"; and Elizabeth Hodder born to Henry and Catherine Hodder of Grates, bap. 29 Mar 1863 though the notes say " This is the child of William amd Amelia", then lastly, a Maria Hodder to William and Amelia of Grates, bap. 3 Sep 1865. (A little confused by all that!). Anyway, I also found a record (on the same site) of a marriage between William Hodder and Amelia Jane Binson 9 MaY 1859 in Grates Cove. Giving the handing down of names and all other similarities, I am assuming I have the right family. Does any of this sound familiar to anyone out there? Am desperate for info!!

I am trying to find the marriage license for:

Amos Rogers and Elizabeth Brady. I am sure they were married between 1890 thru 1900 but I cannot find their marriage info.

I would like to know who their parents are and where they came from.

Shave's Placentia Bay

ValettaPaffordMody — 7 Jul 2008 2:26:24 GMT

My GG grandfather Samuel Pafford was married to a Sarah Shave and they resided on Long Island in Placentia Bay. They had three children: Thomas Samuel b:1849, William b:1850 and Mary Ann b: 1859. Samuel died circa 1862 while fishing and Sarah died around the same time. The children were raised by Sarah's sister in law in Harbour Buffett. Information given me indicates that all marriage and birth records were destroyed in a church fire. I would welcome ANY information relative to either Samuel or Sarah.

(3)Viscount. Looking for family tree for Mary Agnes Viscount,about 1885-1950).Any Viscount tree welcome as I think most would link up.Not a common name.

(4) My GG-GM was Amelia Whiffen,who married Patrick Walsh of Point Verde in 1850. Anyone know her family tree?

(5) My GGM,mother's side,was MARY ELLEN MILLER,possibly spelled ELIN or other way, probably born about 1836,probably at Port Royal(Mussel Harbor).She was of Mi'Kmaq(MicMac) descent or else similar native descent.She married my GGF,Patrick Judge on Placentia Bay(Red Island maybe ?) and they settled at Isle au Valen.
I have NOTHING on her or her family. Can anyone give me even a clue as to where to look? In the Argentia RC baptism records on the Red Island website,there is an Elin Miller born 1836 to Thos. Miller & Bridget Wise(Wyse)...does anyone know if there is a connection? Their other kids were(or included) Wm. Miller(1839) and Bridget Miller(1854).

SAMON,Wise,Miller,Culleton,Whyatt, and Port Royal

WARDGREENE — 29 Jan 2007 8:42:30 GMT

I am really trying to find my Mi'Kmaq ancestry great-grandmother,MARY ELLEN MILLER,who may have been from Port Royal(Mussell Harbor).I found an ELIN MILLER baptised in 1836 in Argentia RC records,parents THOMAS MILLER & BRIDGET WISE,sponsors John Moony(Mooney) and Hannah Walsh.
She had a brother WILLIAM MILLER born 1839, and sister BRIDGET MILLER born 1854(sponsors here Richard(?) Fippard and someone Collins.
Going by year only,there was a MARYANN MILLER born 1835,parents JOHN MILLER & ELIZABETH SAMON,sponsors Wm. Fling and Muria Benings. In later 1800s there is a Miller(Port Royal) marriage to a Bridget Culleton...and in my Judge family in 1837 I have a Judge/Culleton connection at a Red Island ceremony...and eventually Patrick Judge married my GGM,Mary Ellen Miller in 1858 or slightly before. I am hoping someone in all these surnames can see some Mi'Kmaq connections and maybe give me a few clues.I do NOT know if these Millers are my Millers,but I know Samon has Indian connections(the name),and my GGM Mary Ellen Miller was most likely from Port Royal. Someone must know of some Indian ancestry Millers in Burin Peninsula or PB. Thanks.Ward. wardgreene@hotmail.com

CORBIN family,Point Verde,Burin,Argentia area.

WARDGREENE — 1 Oct 2006 7:29:03 GMT

My ancestor,John Green,came from Boston about 1778,to Placentia,and with his brother Robert founded the modern Point Verde nearby. In the 1790's, his good friend John Corbin died, and John Green married the Widow Corbin,who thus became my ancestor. John had a brother Daniel,who is buried in Placentia Cemetery.
John Corbin and Mrs. Corbin also had a son John Corbin,also buried in Placentia.
Once Widow Corbin married John Greene, they had a fairly large family of their own.
There is a John Corbin ,died 1796,in Freshwater Cemetery. Is this the same John Corbin who married my ancestor,because the dates seem to slightly overlap?
His headstone erected by Philip Power...who is Philip Power...are there Power descendants who can help me?
What I most want to know is the maiden name of John Corbin's wife,the widow who married John Green,since of course she is my bloodline,not Corbin itself.
Thanks...Ward ### wardgreene@hotmail.com
