Thanks Donald - Mary Jane is one of my "stray" Morrows - she just appears in the Marriage Bonds, and then the mention in VSNBN that her husband was widowed. Looks like it will be worthwhile for me to go through the microfilms to see who they were living close to (in the remnants of the 1871 census for Portland), to see if I can nail down who her parents were. Sunny here today, and snowdrops out in my garden -- just enough to keep a person hanging on 'til spring!

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.

Many thanks John. Mary Jane Carson (nee Morrow) is one of my "strays" that I'm still trying to connect -- don't know who her parents were, but she is exactly the same generation as my Great Grandfather. I'm planning a drive out to the FH Centre, so it looks like it might be worth my while to go through the microfilm. Their next-door neighbours might provide a clue. Thanks again.
