Hi List, Would anyone happen to have a listing of the Saint John Probates? Shirley

Hi List, Sarah Augusta Nice (b. 1849 d/o Hiram Nice & Sarah Jane Ritchie/Richey) married John Price 25 Nov 1869 in Saint John. They are with her parents on the 1871 Saint John census. By 1891, it appears that Sarah may have already passed away (can't find her on 1881) and there is a John Price married to a Margaret Holland. There were a number of men named John Price but Sarah's husband was a Stevedore and so was Margaret's. I have found no notice of Sarah's death; no marriage record for John Price & Margaret Holland; a death notice for Sarah & John's daughter Mary Louisa who died 1879. Shirley

I just wanted to update that with the help of a friend in New Brunswick, we've been able to find the building. The Robinson Memorial 1918 building was the home of John B. Robinson donated upon his death to the Chipman Memorial Hospital St. Stephen's NB. http://www.rhp-rlp.gnb.ca/Page1.aspx?blnLanguageEnglish=True&RID=1281&VER=1&dp=1 I'm so glad to finally know where that photo was taken!

Thanks Beverley...I have found that he was an heir to the estate of Cadwallader Curry of Campbello Island, and that he received a license to cut lumber in Charlotte County in the 1830s, so I'm working on the assumption that he was a merchant mariner/shipbuilder...which fits with what I hope to show about his son-in-law's involvement with the St. Andrews & Quebec Railway.

One of the best NB railway resources I have found is Daniel Johnson's NB Newspaper archives: http://archives.gnb.ca/APPS/NewspaperVitalStats/default.aspx?culture=en-CA rf you use search terms like a family name and "railway" you may be nicely surprised. A great number of NB's pbivate railways were absorned into CN in 1919, but the railway that ran through Debec towards Houlton ME, was absorbed by the CPR, so the CPR archive might be the best place to start.

John: I am also interested in Patriqins (note my spelling) from New Brunswick railways, especially James Alexander Patriquin, who was section foreman of the Intercolonial Railway on the Sackville and Sussex subs. His daughter died in the 1896 "Penny Wreck" at Palmer Pond NB. My wife is a Patriquin from Cumberland County NS. Her grandfather, Ellsworth Patriquin was a former CN conductor, and later station caretaker at Greenville Station NS.

**************************************************** UPDATE NEWSLETTER Number Thirty Four - 1 February 2011 **************************************************** * OBJECTIVES. ********* * 1. The objective of this *Update Newsletter* is to itemize and publish monthly additions and changes to The Canadian Gravemarker Gallery website. * 2. The Main Objective of the *Canadian Gravemarker Gallery* is to collect and process *completely photographed* cemeteries from across Canada and place the photos online as valuable free-access resources for Genealogists; and Descendants of those buried in marked graves in the cemeteries . * * ................................................ *********BREAKING NEWS******** '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' * 1. Some Visitors have pointed out an annoyance with the *Main Search Engine*. They explained that when they searched for a "common" name, they would get too many results....and they have to wade through too many hits to find their ancestors...!!!! * 2.

The listed search engines are self explanatory. (This is a new concept and may need tweaking....!) * 3. The list of search engines is available by clicking on the "Subordinate Search Engines" Button on the main page. * 4. Please note the "Main Search Engine" is still operational which continues to search the entire site. * 5. We are interested in any positive or negative feedback about these subordinate search engines. * * NEED A WORTHWHILE AND ACHIEVABLE CHALLENGE..? ****************************************** * 1.

At the Canadian Gravemarker Gallery, which is online at: http://gravemarkers.ca ..we can accommodate unlimited numbers of photographs of complete cemeteries from anywhere in Canada. The photographers and/or organizations are given credit on the website for their interest and hard work. * 2. This long established, free-access National Site is proud to announce that there are more than 700 cemeteries completely photographed and onboard, amounting to over 350,000 searchable photographs. There have been over 610,000 visitors to the site. Each day there are over 200 folks browsing the site and there are over 12,000 name searches each month. * 3. If you have family or friends anywhere in Canada, who may be interested in photographing their local cemeteries, please inform them of the availability of The Canadian Gravemarker Gallery. Their completely photographed cemeteries will have world wide exposure on this National Cemetery Photograph website. * 4. If you and/or your organization are interested in your local cemeteries going online, please contact us at: pletsch@cogeco.ca or murray@gravemarkers.ca - there are no cemeteries too big or too small...! * 5. A comprehensive "Tips and Hints" brochure will be sent to all interested folks....to help them get started photographing entire cemeteries. * * SUBSCRIBING TO THE WEBSITE UPDATES NEWSLETTER: ******************************************** * Don't miss future monthly updates. Subscribe to the automatic Gravemarker Galleries Newsletter. Please go to the Website at: http://www.gravemarkers.ca and click on the "Join Updates Newsletter" button located just above the weather row. * * HELPFUL HINTS: ************* * 1. Are you tracing a female ancestor....? Cemeteries online have spousal duplicated photographs. This means a photo of a stone which also has the spouse's maiden name showing, is duplicated and when one searches using the onboard search engine, for a surname, the spouse's surname will be reported as a separate "search result". * 2. Over the years it has been apparent that this website was instrumental in breaking down researchers' brick walls. In fact many folks have travelled to cemeteries which are onboard to physically observe the grave markers. Please note that on some cemeteries we have included the contact information for the township, town or village cemetery "record holders". * 3. If you don't see a Community and its' cemeteries online...it means a volunteer has not photographed and sent us the cemetery photographs. Can you or some of your family or friends help out by photographing your local cemeteries....? * * FEEDBACK ******* * We are always interested in feedback from Visitors to the website. If you have any questions or suggestions to improve the Canadian Gravemarker Gallery please do not hesitate to send your concerns or suggestions to us at : pletsch@cogeco.ca * * ********************************************* Best regards.....Murray P l e t s c h * Cdn Gravemarker Gallery - http://gravemarkers.ca * Ont Historic Gallery - http://rootsweb.com/~cannor * *********************************************

Hi; Thanks, I will give it a try. John In a message dated 1/28/2011 2:27:16 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, janegillard@hfx.eastlink.ca writes: had a great time at this site! Found so much information on my husband's NB ancestors. http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/databases/black-porters/index-e.html

The following site has a lot of pictures, and some text about the early Railroad in NB, most of which is about McAdam. Somewhere on the site is a bit of history of the building of the Railroad in NB, but there is not much about individuals. http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nbpast/YO/McAdam/index.html Cleadie B.

Actually i was waiting for a reply to your request, I have an ancestor with CP in NB. Is there info?

This might be a bit of help. Basic info, but interesting. http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/trains/021006-2120-e.html I have also been searching for train info for New Brunswick. I have two grandfathers who worked for the railroad there. Kim ----- No virus found in this message.
