Surnames: Douglass/Douglas Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/4NC.2ACE/1295 Message Board Post: I am trying to find info on George Douglas b~1820 in New Brunswick. He married a Mary (unknown). The two oldest children are Margaret Douglass b ~1844 and John Douglass b ~1850 both born in New Brunswick, areas unknown. George settled in Cayuga, Ont. We believe his brother is William Douglass and a Matthew Douglass may be a brother or relative, both also of Cayuga, Ontario. Suspect their father may be a John Douglass and his wife an Anna/Annas. William and Matthew were born in England in 1809 and 1817. Any help or leads would be most helpful and greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I'm new to this list and wondered if someone will do a newspaper obit lookup for me. I am looking for a newspaper obit for Helena Annie Sarah WARK. She died April 5, 1951. Helena was Senator David Wark's daughter. Her death date information is from "A Partial Listing of Family Histories at the Provincial Archives of New Brunswick," by Robert F. Fellows. Also can someone tell me if there is more than one Archive in New Brunswick? I live in B.C. and we have a Provincial Archives plus different Municipal Archives. Thank you Pam

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/4NC.2ACE/1290.1 Message Board Post: JOHN MORGAN b. NB ca. 1841, m. MARY HAMM (b. NB 5JAN1845.) Mary Morgan may be the same b. 5JAN1845 in Queens Ward, Fredericton, York Co., NB in the 1901 census. A widow, she lived with her daughter and son-in-law, William (1MAY1862) and Nellie (9APR1872) Tolan. Birth records give them as William Havelock and Ellen (‘Nellie’) M. (Morgan) Toland of Morrison’s Mills. Ellen (Morgan) Toland is, therefore, presumably the sister, Ellen b. ca. 1872), of Mary Ann Morgan, whose children were b. the same place. William and Ellen were m. 4NOV1891. Since the surname, Hamm, I associate most often with Kings Co., NB; I note that in the 1851 census of Greenwich Parish, Kings Co., NB there was a John Morgan b. ca. 1842. His mother, Frances Morgan (ca. 1813) was a widow, and siblings were: Nancy (ca. 1836), Elizabeth (ca. 1838) and Henry (ca. 1840.) Another Morgan family in Studholm Parish, Kings Co., in 1851, was that of William Morgan (b. Ireland ca. 1798, arrived 1847), with a wife, ‘Sairah’ (b. Ireland ca. 1793), and children: ‘Owne’ (son, Owen?, ca. 1833), Patrick (ca. 1837) and John (ca. 1840.) A John Morgan petitioned for land in Kings Co. in 1853; a William Morgan in 1858 and 1860. William Morgan, Jr. was granted 90 acres 15APR1856 in Studholm Parish; and he is likely the William granted 100 acres in the same parish 24DEC1856. Patrick Morgan was granted 54 acres 8MAY1858 in Studholm Parish. Owen 100 acres in Studholm Parish 17OCT1859. Patrick is still in Studholm Parish in 1881 with his family. Also John (b. ca. 1839) is in Studholm Parish with his family in 1881. A brother appears to have been William Morgan (b. Ireland ca. 1831), in Studholm Parish in 1881, but apparently elsewhere in 1851. While the Studholm Parish family appears to have remained in Kings Co.; that of the widow, Frances Morgan, does not appear in that County in 1881. A Henry Morgan (b. ca. 1840, described as German?) was in New Maryland, York Co., NB in 1881, with a family. He was there as early as 1867. This may be the Henry Morgan b. ca. 1839, d. Sunbury Co., NB 3MAR1914 age 75 years. Also likely he was the Henry Morgan b. Nasonworth, York Co., NB ca. 1844, d. Nasonworth, York Co., NB 3MAR1914 age 70 years. Some contradictions, but the same date-of-death suggests the same person. His headstone, in the Morgan Nasonworth Cem., York Co., NB, gives him as b. 8OCT1839, d. 3MAR1914. There is a rather large Morgan family in the area, and Henry seems to be the progenitor of this family. If, however, he was the s/o the widow, Frances, in 1851 in Kings Co., then his brother, John, is likely the John Morgan b. ca. 1842, d. 2JUL1867 age 25 years, and buried in the same cemetery as Henry. children: 1. JOHN MORGAN b. ca. 1861 2. MARGARET MORGAN b. ca. 1863 3. ELIZA MORGAN b. ca. 1865. Possibly the Elizabeth (El;iza) Morgan b. Tracy Station, Sunbury Co., NB ca. 1863, d. Tracy Station, Sunbury Co., NB 21MAY1899 age 36 years. 4. HARRY MORGAN b. ca. 1869 5. ELLEN M. MORGAN b. 9APR1872, m. York Co., NB 4NOV1891 WILLIAM HAVELOCK TOLAND (b. 1MAY1862, d. Victoria Co., NB 7MAR1924.) Nellie and William, by 1909, lived in Plaster Rock, Victoria Co., NB. 6. MARY ANN (“ANNIE”) MORGAN b. 12JAN1875 (1874 on headstone, JAN1876 in 1911), d. 1956, bur. Forest Hill Cem., Fredericton, York Co., NB, m. York Co., NB 5OCT1893 HARRY SEYMOUR CLARK (b. 5JAN1867 (5JAN1868 in 1901, but 1867 on headstone and JAN1867 in 1911), d. York Co., NB 15APR1953, bur. Forest Hill Cem., Fredericton, York Co., NB.) Living in Kings Ward, Fredericton, York Co., NB in 1901. Living in Fredericton in 1911. Harry may be Harry Clarke b. ca. 1867, s/o the widow, Mary Clark (b. ca. 1835), in Sheffield Parish, Sunbury Co., NB in 1881. A. D. Clarke was carpenter in Lakeville Corner, Sheffield Parish, Sunbury Co., NB in the 1871 directory. Albert D. Clark m. Mary Ann Chase, and had a son, James Franklin Clark, b. Lakeville Corner, Sunbury Co., NB 13SEP1873. Harry’s brother, in 1881, was James b. ca. 1873. It appears that Harry was the s/o Albert D. and Mary Ann (Chase) Clarke/Clark. Other siblings in 1881 were: Alvin (18), Edward (17), Elizabeth (15) and Charles (11.) Albert D. Clark is very likely Albert DesBrisay Clark (b. ca. 1826), s/o Gershom and Elizabeth (Carle) Clark, who is given as having m. Mary Ann Chase. Their children, in the IGI, include Harry S. Clark b. 14JAN1867. The family is said to have come out of Canning Parish, Queens Co., NB; which (with the surname, Chase) makes sense. See also: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~nbpast/family/begin/C-10.htm Annie Morgan, in 1881, was with her parents in Maugerville, Sunbury Co., NB, age 8 years. John Morgan was age 40, Irish, b.

HI Sorry for the confusion. I was seeking information on Clarence Messier B? But no doubt about 1916 to George Messer and Mary Elizabeth Apple Messer. Clarence would have been the brother to Margaret Messer Cleghorn. I still have very little information. I did speak per telephone once to Burton Cleghorn son of Margaret Messer Cleghorn but he was ill and having to go for surgery. He even knew who I was so someone had told him about our family connection. He was going to contact me after, but he did not make it. He did state that Margaret had 11 children but I got no details on where to contact them. I am seeking further information on any living children of Margaret Messer Cleghorn (my Aunt whom I never met) or Grandchildren. In addition any information on Clarence Messer. My mother was the half sister of Margaret and Clarence. She was a child from their mother's first marriage prior to George Messer. Another sister who was younger was Viola Messer Kinney. I understand she had 9 children. Since it appears I have many cousins from these 2 sisters I am hoping to contact someone for further family information. I had hoped to do this prior to Mom's passing but she passed away in October 2003. Thank you for your kind reply. Regards Pat Regan

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/4NC.2ACE/412.1.2.1.1.2.1 Message Board Post: Hi Derek Thank you for your reply. I do have some information now on Margaret Messer Cleghorn as prior to his death I did talk to Burton Cleghorn (her son). However Burton was ill and meant to get back to me after surgury, but he did not make it. So I do not have a list of all of her 11 children nor a lot of information on the family. My Grandmother is buried in St Stephens Rural Cemetery next to her 3rd husband. . The Clarence I was referring to was Clarence Messer brother to Margaret. I have no record of what happened to him. Margaret and Clarence were the children of Mary Apple Messer (later McKeeman) and George Messer who married in Gouverner NY. George Messer worked for the RR. Mary Apple was previously married to a Howard Weedmark and she was my mother's bio mother from this first marriage prior to her marriage to Geo. Messer making both Margaret and Clarence my mother's half brother and sister. Another daughter was a Viola Kinney and she would be the youngest. I am not sure if she is still living or not. Another son was B per my mother but deceased at B or early as an infant. When Mary Apple married George Messer she had another daughter by her first marriage Mary Loretta Weedmark who later became Rheta Marian Messer and married first a Briggs in Frederickton in 1931and later a Doan or Doane. (not sure of spelling). This is a rather complex story as my mother remained in NY State and withdrew contact with any of the family.. At one point early in her life she went to NB with her mother but wanted to return to a Grandmother. At that time they stayed on a farm with George Messer's sister & family. Mary Apple Messer tried to make contact with my mother for years, but my mother rejected her. All appears to be from lack of communication or understanding among the family and facts that had not been explained properly. My mother carried this sad feeling with her for years and always told us children she was an orphan. In later years she regreted this decision she had made and felt she lost out on having siblings for companionship and a real family. She had hoped to contact one of her siblings prior to her death (a little late now), she departed iin 2003 (after I wrote my message) but I am seeking additional information on this part of my family per her wishes. Any further information on living children or grandchildren of Margaret Messer Cleghorn, Viola Messer Kinney or Clarence Messer and where to contact them would be greatly appreciated.
