Many thanks, Sherrie. Your help is appreciated. Your census information fills in another blank in my search for Helena THOMPSON BARTLETT. I am quite sure now that she is my grandmother's sister. Their parents died in New Brunswick at a young age and the children were "farmed out". I am not sure how Helena got to Maine or with whom. The other two remained in New Brunswick (Augusta Thompson LAVERTY and Bruce THOMPSON). Her sad little letter states that she is to be married to a "fine rich gentleman". Warren BARTLETT was a widower when they married in 1893. Daughter, Edith, b. 1896 married Earl Linwood HUTCHINSON 3 Jul 1913. I have no information on other children. Does anyone have anything on other family members?
