Yes -- all true. Am trying to piece together all this info... I question the age at death as I have him born abt 1842... but then may not be the same Stanton . Regarding the death of the children 's father --- I am working on the idea he deserted Mary Riordan, she called herself a widow to save face , he found himself a younger Christie in Nova Scotia ,called himself a widower , and stayed in Nova Scotia --- that is my guess & I need to prove it all. That's why the interest in the marriage with Mary Riordan @ the Church of Assumption . If I can prove Joseph who married Riordan was the same Joseph who married Christie -- that would tie up the loose ends. Further when The Diocese archives said they could find NO death record for Joseph in New Brunswick .. it rather makes me think he resided in Nova Scotia with Christie. A wonderful mystery -- fun to work on , but annoying that his parents' name in the Riodan marriage is not noted! Martin was his brother. You did a wonderful job -- and I thank you so much . ----- Original Message ----- From: "S.
