Hi Wayne, I may be leading you astray but here's my theory.... In Rev. James GRAY's Presbyterian Church records is a marrisge on Dec 22, 1871... William H. DELONG of Kars m. Louisa C. SCHAFER of Elgin "A.C." (Anglican Church???) In the 1881 census, this family is found living in Elgin, Albert Co. Now in the old days, the families travelled the Shepody Road and therefore it was not uncommon for families to mix from the Waterford area and Elgin area. ADAIR is a Waterford name mostly . The DELONGS are mainly from up the river in the Kars, Hampstead area. I have no idea how William would have met Louisa and why he moved to Elgin besides it being her home. Anyway here they are in the 1881 census... Census Place: Elgin, Albert, New Brunswick, Canada Source: FHL Film 1375813 NAC C-13177 Dist 23 SubDist F Page 18 Family 78 Sex Marr Age Origin Birthplace Wiliam DELONG M M 38 German New Brunswick Occ: Farmer Religion: Baptist Loeza DELONG F M 34 German Germany Religion: Church of England Bertha DELONG F 8 German Germany Religion: Church of England George DELONG M 6 German Germany Religion: Church of England Elathin DELONG M 3 German Germany Religion: Church of England The last child, in my opinion, could be your Nathan. The census taker may have been told his name was "L. Nathan" and that is the way it was written. In those days people got married often in whatever church had a minister. In the country where ministers travelled people might go to an Anglican church one Sunday and a Presbyterian church the other, just because they had services there. They still do it in places. My point is, don't be put off by the "Baptist" and "Church of England" in the census and the fact that they married in the Presbyterian church. They didn't baptise their children there. They probably attended a Baptist church in Elgin. So , as I said, just a theory, but I'd put my money on William and Louisa being Nathan DELONG's parents.
