Hello Marilyn, John William Stewart & Jane Reed, both of Simonds Parish, Carleton County, were married December 24, 1868 in Carleton County. In 1871, they are in Wilmot Parish. John is age 30. Jane is age 23, and one child, Howard, is 1 year old. I checked the 1851 census, but could not find a John Stewart who was about 10 years old. Reed was a common name, and Jane even more so. She may be there, but I can't be sure. Best of luck, Lisa Z

The 1871 census for Portland Parish, Division 2, page 2 lists the following: CARSON James Mary J. Mary J. Ida Ava On page 21 of the same is the following: CARSON Willim Mary Susan Mary J Annie William John Patrick Elizabeth Henry I have no ages or other information since this is taken from an index which was compiled by the Saint John Branch of the New brunswick Genealogical Society. You are lucky I found this much for 3 out of the 5 divisions in Portland Parish are missing. If you look up the actual census (on microfilm) you will be able to get the additional information. The names are given in the order listed in the household, but no real assumptions can be made from this regarding relationships, etc. Hope this helps a bit.

Alan Rayburn (Geographical Names of New Brunswick. 1975. Ottawa) lists the community of New Ireland as follows: New Ireland: 8 mi. N of Alma. PO 1857-1893. Also PO New Ireland Road 1864-1905. Settled 1816, abandoned 1920. Today nothing remains of the community except the Roman Catholic graveyard. The road is still passable in the summer months and is the Albert County portion of the so-called Shepody Road, which was once the route from Saint John over the hills north of the Bay of Fundy shore all the way to Shepody on the Albert County coast. Like many of the other settlements of the second quarter of the 19th century it was on the higher (and less agriculturally favourable) land which still remained available - the better farmland along the major streams having been taken up by then. Many other communities along the general route of the Shepody Road - Londonderry, Donegal, Mechanic Settlement, etc. - were also abandoned through the latter years of the 19th century and first quarter of the 20th. In most cases the poor quality of much of the land for farming, combined with a general exodus of thousands of young Maritimers to the "Boston States" in search of work during that period resulted in a gradual depopulation of these more remote settlements. As the mid-20th century approached with the advance of such services as telephone and electricity, which were unavailable in such remote communities, they became less and less desirable for the younger generations to either remain or return. If your family came from New Ireland, I would suggest a couple of books - if you can find them. Long, Heather. "Good Green Hope - the Irish Catholic Settlers of Albert County, New Brunswick". 1995. Halifax, NS Hynes, Leo J. "The Catholic Irish in New Brunswick 1783-7900". 1992 ISBN 0-9696262-0-7 Saunders, Kenneth "The Rectory Murder". 1989. James Lorimer & Co., Toronto ISBN 1-55028-273-5 Hope this helps a little. Heather Long's "Good Green Hope" is an excellent compilation of mini-genealogies of most of the early Irish Catholic families of the area, but the last I knew, it was out of print. "The Rectory Murder" deals with one tragic murder in the community around the turn of the century, but also gives a good picture of the community of that time. Good luck.
