I always find it disheartening when I trace back to find an ancestor was a Baptist. It is a kiss of death for research as Baptists did/do not record 'vital' records. The records I looked at in Acadia's archives are like journals, I found. Events such as 'Benjamin Cooper was entered into the church on this date.' are sometimes found, but no records of births, marriages or baptisms were to be found.

I received two death certificates today from Maine Archives for Magloire Cote. I know he married Anastasia Huot 1857 in Minneapolis and lived in Maine the rest of his years. Someone had mentioned maybe Edmundston? I had ancestry.com membership but was unable to continue due to financial reasons. I would really appreciate a few lookups for the info in this posting. 1) Magloire Cote, son of Joseph Cote & Marie Barre from Canada, died in Connor Planatation, Maine 10/13/1908 at 80 yrs old. 2) Magloire Cote, son of Theophille Cote & Engelle Bealieu from Canada, died in Connor Planatation, Maine 2/1/1913 at 73 yrs old. I think the first one is the one who is related. I have been searching for this family for a while and would like to see if anyone can find any hits for records before 1850. Records for the parents or other siblings. Hope someone out there can find the time to do some lookups for me. My email address is: [email protected] if you need more info

Hi List, I would so appreciate it if someone could check for the marriage of David HUNTER & Ruth E. GIGGEY in 1855, Saint John. Hoping that the witnesses might provide a clue to her. 2nd husband Noah SCRIBNER. I found the following Vital Stats from NB Newspapers: Daniel F. Johnson : Volume 20 Number 245 Date October 12, 1855 : County Saint John : Place Saint John : Newspaper Religious Intelligencer m. 4th inst., by Rev. E. McLeod, David HUNTER / Miss Ruth GIGGY both of St. John. I am looking for Ruth's parents. One list member just found her cemetery record - no given name; no death date except 1911; no NB Vital Stat records on her death; not found on 1851 Census so probably living in Saint John during that time period. Any information on her would be so appreciated. Shirley

Hi List, Are there other cemetery transcriptions for Springfield Parish, Kings Co., than what is online? I am looking for David HUNTER c1830 - bet 1881-1891 h/w Ruth E.

She is recorded on the 1901 Springfield Parish w/2h Noah SCRIBNER. Noah is recorded on 1911 Kingston Parish Census with m/dau Ruth (Scribner) VAUGHAN. Shirley

My family is from NB. In 1852, the BLAKELEY family ( Thomas BLAKELEY and Elizabeth BREEN) of Moore's Mills (near St Stephen) lost four children in Sept. I wonder if they could have been part of the cholera epidemic in NB. Sarah BLAKELEY b. July 1845, d. 20 Sept 1852 Jane BLAKELEY b. Sept 1847, d. 22 Sept 1852 John BLAKELEY b. Aug 1849, d. 4 Sept 1852 Robert BLAKELEY b. Aug 1851, d. 22 Sept 1852 Does anyone have any records or information for this area, regarding cholera or any other epidemic? Thank you for your time.

Hi List... My membership to Ancestry.com is about to expire.

Dorene, Well, it's an interesting "web" this Edgar and Gertrude pair... Here's what I was able to determine, albeit a bit shaky in places: Children of Gertrude and (Norman) Edgar Wright: Howard Franklin Wright, b. 01-Feb-1905, Tilley, Victoria, NB (Father listed as Norman Edgar Wright) Mary Hazel Wright, b. 21-Jun-1906, Tilley, Victoria, NB Laura Pearl Wright, b. 14-Apr-1913, Tilley, Victoria, NB NB Archives also shows a different name for your Allan Freeman... Allan Freeman DEMERCHANT, married in Andover Parish, Victoria Co, on 22-Nov-1928. Similarly, the 1927 marriage of Gertrude Opal McAllister was to John Lyford ROWE, 17-Feb-1927, at Woodstock, Carleton Co, NB. FYI, the one who married Allan Freeman DEMERCHANT in Andover was listed as Gertrude SMITH/McALLISTER. Doesn't clarify which surname was her married and which her maiden, though. If she was born a McAllister, she would have to have married a Mr. Smith, between Wright and Demerchant. Allan F. DeMerchant b. 12-Apr-1886, Bath, Carleton, NB. What I find quite interesting is that on the birth record (Drouin Collection) for Laura Pearl Wright, the informant for the record was a Mrs. Allen D. Merchant. Is this Allan F. DeMerchant's first wife? Does that increase the likelihood that Allan and Norman married the same Gertrude? Norman Wright, only death listed as 22-Jan-1940, Victoria (may or may not be the one who married Gertrude, perhaps the one who m. Alice Maude Flanders in the 1890s?). In 1911, Gertrude (mostlikely the one who married Norman Edgar Wright), found in Perth Parish, Victoria, working as a domestic for Henry Green. She is listed as b. Apr-1887, with her daughter, "Hazel", listed as b. Jul-1910 (off a BIT!). An Edgar Wright, also in Perth, listed as a lodger in home of ?, listed as b. Apr-1882. No Norman listed in Victoria Co. In 1901 Census for Drummond, Victoria Co, NB, however, Norman is listed as Norman Ed. Wright, s/o "Will" and Mary. Here's that family group: Will Wright, b. 17-Jul-1861, NB, Baptist, mill laborer Mary Wright, b. 30-Jun-1857, USA, arr: 1864, Baptist. Norman Ed Wright, b. 30-Apr-1882, NB, son, farm laborer (this is THE Edgar/Norman Wright) Rosa Wright, b. 31-Mar-1885, NB, daughter, farm laborer John Wright, b. 24-May-1887, NB, son, no occ. Found in WWI Attestation Papers, listed b. 30-Apr-1885, born California Settlement, Victoria Co, NB, his mother was living in Limestone, ME (Mary Wright). Problem was, in 1915, he was not listed as married. Did he and Gertrude divorce before 1915? It's surely possible, and WOULD allow for the possibility of her marrying a Mr. Smith, before marrying Allan F. Demerchant, but if so, who WAS the Mr. Smith she must have married in the interim? Was it a Maine marriage? As for whether Gertrude and Gertrude Opal were the same woman... Gertrude Opal McAllister was an illegitimate child, b. Restigouche, NB, on 07-Oct-1905, parents listed as "Master Alf? (unreadable), lumberman, and Helen McAlister. This would mean the one who married John Lyford ROWE is NOT the same one who married Mr. Wright. She was only 22, then, when she married Mr. Rowe. Plus, she was born the same year YOUR Gertrudes first child was born. A LONGSHOT possible would be Marguerite Gertrude McAllsister, who was b. St John, NB (perhaps also illegitimate), on 27-Dec-1891, to Alexander McAllister and Rebecca ?Jones?. She'd have been only 15 when first Wright child born. Really don't think this is your Gertrude, either. In summary, it would appear that Gertrude Opal McAllister is NOT the same woman who married Norman Edgar Wright. IF "guesses" are correct, Norman Edgar was b. 30-Apr-1882, and his Gertrude was b. Apr-1887. That's about as far as I could get given my available resources and my lunch hour. :-) Cheers, Jared "Jed" Handspicker > > I have two marriages for Gertrude McAllister and one for Gertrude Opal > McAllister.
