Looking for information on Annie B. Grant (daughter of Margaret Grant) who was born May 18, 1867 and died June 1, 1942. She married (1) Charles Gallant in Bayfield, N.B. on December 15, 1883 and (2) Norman McRae on August 30, 1905. I believe her children were: Joseph, Margaret Alice, Charles F (Fred?), Rena Lauretta, Mary, James, George, Willie, Nelson, Margaret Isabella, William Ernest and Hugh Archibald. Any information - especially on her children by Charles Gallant - would be much appreciated. He (Charles Gallant) is my BIG brick wall. Bonny

I have never seen any for New Brunswick, but Nova Scotia has Township books. The town clerk or another town official made a list of each family living in a township, including wives and children, at a certain time period. You can find these township books on microfilm in the LDS records. Also, type into google: Nova Scotia township books and many will come up. Shirley Lutz Smith Today's Topics: 1.

Jim, There are parish records available prior to the 1851 census. I was able to determine an approximate birth year for a son mentioned in family lore but had moved out of NB by the time of the 1851 census. They can be tax or voter rolls; often done each year. And are available on microfilm through LDS. Sara > >> Were there any censuses taken in NB, NS, prior to the first official >> Canada >> census in 1851?

Carol could this be a miss spelled version of Stockton as Frances Gorham was married to a Samuel Stockton there are no dates for this marriage she being married three times ??? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carol Norman" <[email protected]> To: "newbrunswicklist" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, July 14, 2009 8:59 PM Subject: [ NB ] Gorham/Stocker > In the book, Loyalist Gorhams of the St. John River Valley, by Dorie > Gorham, pub'd about 1995, there is a photograph of Nathaniel Gorham, taken > about 1890, with a little girl who is called his granddaughter, Frances > Stocker.

Hi List! There is an interesting article that was published in the Telegraph Journal on Monday July 13th. It is a story about a lady in England who recently discovered remnants of a Lancaster plane that crashed during WW2. She has worked to find descendants of the 7 deceased men (5 British and 2 Canadian Citizens). One of the deceased was John Reid of Fredericton. The article reads in part... Reid was 20 when he was killed. He was born in Stanley to James Henry and Mary Wilhemina Reid (nee Fullerton). He attended Smyth Street school from 1929-38, then Fredericton High School from 1938-42. It appears he married on Jan. 25, 1943 to a Gladys MacDonald and they had a daughter, Lorna Marie, later that year. His widow seems to have married again, becoming a Mrs. Brewer. Further information can be found at http://telegraphjournal.canadaeast.com/front/article/726757 There is a picture of Mr Reid on the web page as well. She is hoping to find people related to Mr. Reid.

In the book, Loyalist Gorhams of the St. John River Valley, by Dorie Gorham, pub'd about 1995, there is a photograph of Nathaniel Gorham, taken about 1890, with a little girl who is called his granddaughter, Frances Stocker. The girl looks to be about 4 to 6 years old, so I'm guessing she was born around 1884. I have delved into all of Nathaniel Gorham's children that I know of and not found any daughter who married a Stocker, nor a son who had a daughter named Frances, born around 1884, who might have grown up to marry a Stocker later on. The Nathaniel Gorham that I am referring to was born 1834, son of Samuel Gorham & Fannie (Perkins) Gorham, and died in 1917. He was married to Charlotte Amanda Whelpley. What am I missing here? Would anyone know how this Nathaniel Gorham came to have a grandchild named Frances Stocker? Thanks in advance. Carol Norman [email protected]

>Hi Jed: Many thanks for all the information that you gathered on my elusive Helene Mercier. It is still a mystery but does open up more possibilities. That illegitimate birth for Helene (Leblanc) born 10 April 1887 sure ties in with her information on the 1911 census, after her marriage to Ernest LeGouffe. I have been looking through a book by Bona Arsenault of Les Registres de Maria 1860-1960 and there are scads of Leblancs in there but I have yet to come across a baptism for Marie Helene Leblanc, Would the Francois Leblanc and Hermine Laubert have been the godparents? I do appreciate all your help. and shall keep trying. Many thanks, >------------------------ >Jared "Jed" Handspicker >[email protected] > >"It's a dog eat dog world, and I have Milkbone underwear."

Elenore, Many interesting possibilities, if in fact, Joseph and Hermine prove to be your Helene's grandparents. Playing with various records, I started by presuming you were correct in your assumptions. That said, based on the 1891 Census record for the same family, I SUSPECT your Helene is the one listed as Ellen LEBLANC in 1891. This is, of course, a "guess", but should be considered feasible. That said, the only record found on a like named individual, born around 1887, offers some interesting possibilities, while also making it near impossible (at least for me and my limited understanding of French records) for me to offer up any sort of absolute or definitive answer to your quest for the names of her parents. It's an intriguing little puzzle, though, to be sure... Here are my notes: 1901 Canada Census for Nouvelle & Shoolbred, Bonaventure, QUEBEC 4 20 31 Mercier Joseph M Head M May 12 1827 73 4 21 31 Mercier Hermine F Wife M Jun 20 1840 60 4 22 31 Mercier Honoré M Son S Mar 20 1857 43 4 23 31 Mercier Joseph M Son S Feb 15 1866 35 4 24 31 Mercier Alex M Son S Apr 12 1871 29 4 25 31 Mercier Hélène F petite fille S Apr 4 1889 11 4 26 31 Mercier Marie F Petite fille S Mar 1 1889 12 Would have to say, one of the two grandaughters is either incorrect, or were born to two different sons. Above family in 1881, at St Jean L'Evangeliste, Bonaventure, Quebec: Joseph MERCIER M Male French 55 Q <Quebec> Journalier Catholique Hermine MERCIER M Female French 48 Q <Quebec> Catholique Marie MERCIER Female French 28 Q <Quebec> Catholique Jane MERCIER Female French 25 Q <Quebec> Catholique Honore MERCIER Male French 22 Q <Quebec> Journalier Catholique Elisee MERCIER Male French 20 Q <Quebec> Journalier Catholique Joseph MERCIER Male French 18 Q <Quebec> Journalier Catholique Julienne MERCIER Female French 15 Q <Quebec> Catholique Alexandre MERCIER Male French 12 Q <Quebec> Catholique Hermine MERCIER Female French 8 Q <Quebec> Catholique This might indicate that the father of Helene (if correctly presumed to be g.dau of Joseph and Hermine is one who married Ernest, would then be d/o Honore, Elisee, or Joseph. Unless her father was already married by 1881. Honore was christened 16-Jul-1858, Carleton, Bonaventure, Quebec, his parents listed as Joseph mercier and Marie Hermine Loubert. Joseph and Marie Hermine were married 24-Feb-1851, Quebec, probably at Carleton. This is an incorrect fit, though, given the one shown to have married Joseph in 1851 is said to have been born 07-Sep-1830 and d. 14-May-1913, d/o Louis B. Loubert and Marie Helene LeBlanc. And, what makes it even worse, regarding ANY sort of accuracy in Census dates, is the following: ID: I94900 Name: Joseph Mercier Sex: M Birth: 16 DEC 1817 in Carleton (Bonaventure) Québec 1 Baptism: 16 DEC 1817 Carleton (Bonaventure) Québec 1 Death: 23 JAN 1906 in Nouvelle (Bonaventure) Québec 1 Burial: 25 JAN 1906 Nouvelle (Bonaventure) Québec 1 Occupation: Cultivateur Father: Augustin Mercier b: 12 DEC 1792 in Maria (Bonaventure) Québec Mother: Olivette Boudreau b: 17 AUG 1796 in Carleton (Bonaventure) Québec Marriage 1 Hermine Loubert b: 7 SEP 1830 in Carleton (Bonaventure) Québec Married: 24 FEB 1851 in Maria (Bonaventure) Québec 1 Children Hélène Mercier b: 1 DEC 1851 in Carleton (Bonaventure) Québec Élisée Mercier b: 8 MAR 1854 in Carleton (Bonaventure) Québec Jeanne Mercier b: 13 OCT 1855 in Maria (Bonaventure) Québec Honoré Mercier b: 16 APR 1858 in Carleton (Bonaventure) Québec Élisée Mercier b: 3 MAY 1860 in Carleton (Bonaventure) Québec Marie-Anne Mercier b: 1862 Élisée Mercier b: 12 FEB 1863 in Carleton (Bonaventure) Québec Julienne Mercier b: 10 SEP 1865 in Carleton (Bonaventure) Québec Alexandre Mercier b: 9 JUL 1868 in Carleton (Bonaventure) Québec Hermine Mercier b: 1 DEC 1872 in Nouvelle (Bonaventure) Québec Hmmmm... in this database, the only son without a marriage listed, and there is no LISTED son with a daughter Helene, would be Elisee Mercier, b. 08-Mar-1854, Carleton, bapt. 09-Mar-1854, also at Carleton... There's an Elisee Mercier who m. Marie Landry, they had a daughter, Adelina, who was married in 1924, in St. Zenon, de Lac Humqui, P.Q. However, that Elisee who married Marie Landry married her on 09-Jan-1893, perhaps in Charlotte Co, NB. Hmmm... well, the Elisee who married Marie Landry, wsa a bit older than she. Here is that couple in 1901 census, at Dalhousie, Restigouche, NB!!! 13 31 125 Mercier Elias M Head M May 24 1862 39 13 32 125 Mercier Mary F Wife M Nov 5 1870 31 13 33 125 Mercier Arthur M Son S Dec 17 1895 6 13 34 125 Mercier Edmound M Son S May 13 1897 4 13 35 125 Mercier Eva F Daughter S Aug 21 1898 3 13 36 125 Mercier Delina F Daughter S May 2 1899 1 A GUESS would be, he COULD have married previous to Marie, and had Helene and Marie. Then, when he married Marie, the girls went to live with their grandparents??? This would fit with another fact... in 1911, Delina is adopted by Andre and Melvina LeBlanc, and living in Nouvelle, P.Q. INTERESTING... 1891 Canada Census for Nouvelle, Bonaventure, P.Q.: Joseph Mercier 50 Armine Mercier 45 Henry Mercier 31 Elisy Mercier 25 (widowed) Joseph Mercier 24 (Honore??? or is this a son overlooked in the online database?) Alexander Mercier 23 Armine Mercier 15 Juliana Mercier 22 Margrette Mercier 2 (grand daughter) Ellen Leblanc 4 (grand daughter hmmmm.... but could have been born LeBlanc and raised as Helene Mercier????) COULD Margrette be Margrette Helene, or Helen Margrette??? Not so lucky... Elisee married Marie LaViolette 10-Apr-1888 (bans/publication), at Nouvelle. He was son of Joseph Mercier and Hermine Loubert. Marie was d/o Abraham Laviolette and Marguerite Dugas. Their daughter, Marie Marguerite Mercier, baptized 01-Mar-1889, Nouvelle. My GUESS would be, this is the 2nd grand daughter listed for Joseph and Hermine in the 1901 Census record. Hmmm... a Marie Helene (LeBlanc) 10-Apr-1887, Nouvelle, ??? 20-Sep.. bapt. Marie Helene nee Le?Cling?, parents "incommue", Francois ? LeBlanc, Marriane Hermine Laubert?? Would appear this Marie Helene LeBlanc's parents were not married when she was born, but nothing indicating a relationship to any MERCIER family member. The "Hermine Laubert" part is a bit interesting, though... IF this were the same individual, one might presume she was actually a daughter of Hermine, by a "lover", not Joseph... BIT of a stretch, and could just be a very odd coincidence on the April 1887 date... This is the closest match I COULD find, though surely it's not definitive, it does raise some questions. The information on births and marriages mostly from Quebec Vital and Church records (Drouin Collection, 1621-1967). So, whose child was Helene? Does NOT appear she would have been a daughter of Elisee and even his first wife, Marie Laviolette, as they married after she was born. If she's a GRAND daughter of Joseph and Hermine, by which son? By Joseph/Honore? Surely not Honore, as he wasn't married until 16-Jul-1898, to Marie-Anne Philippe. Elisee later married (if it's even the same one), apparently, to Marie Perron, on 22-Jun-1910. This is perhaps in error, as it is a 2nd Elisee shown b. to Joseph and Hermine. Now, could Honore have been married previous to his 1898 marriage? Could Helene have been illegitimate daughter of a daughter of Joseph and Hermine's? > At 03:11 2009-07-13, you wrote: >>I am trying to find the parents of Helene Mercier who married Ernest >>Everet LeGouffe/LeCouffe 15 Jun 1908 at Dundee, NB I found them on >>the 1911 census for Dalhousie, Restigouche and she was listed as 24 >>born Apr 1887.
