Thanks to all who replied to the following request. I have confirmation that the record is as written in the original document. Does anyone have any Info on a Jeremy Wells born 1817 somewhere in Notre Dame Bay? with wife Mary born 1823 Joe Batts Arm died 1903 Comfort Cove?

I believe there is an error re the place of birth. All of the Information I have read tells me that the WELLS name did not appear at Comfort Cove until after 1881. I wonder if someone who will be reading the Vital Records mentioned above at the Archives could double check the info re Jeremy Wells. Thanks Margaret Head Major

Hi, I'm looking fo information on Richad Moorsor Moores of Mulley's Cove, Conception Bay North. He is listed in the Plantation Book as having shared land with James Reynolds. Any info on his birthplace or even any dates connected with him would be great. As well if anyone knows how these men knew each other. I'm assuming they did previously before cutting and clearing land together as well as buying some more between them. Thanks --------------------------------- Share your photos with the people who matter at Yahoo! Canada Photos

I'm looking for pictures of the older Anglican Cemeteries on Bell Island, NL. Anyone having pre Stonepics pictures I would appreciate it if they could contact me off the list. Thanks...

Resently I have had the opportunity to peruse the will of Sam Angel, Petty Harbour TC Caution: These downloadable PCC wills are not the original wills as some are lead to believe rather they are handwritten copies made from the original by a clerk in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury. The three witness names in this will are not recognizable Newfoundland names at all and were copied by clerical staff at a distance. I am positive, for such an important document, Sam Angel would have chosen witnesses who were well established permanent residents of Petty Harbour or nearby residents rather than some obscure people as these names seem to indicate. I suggest the clerk has misinterpreted the names completely. Further - For Barramore, I would suggest Narramore, which is Devon dialect, and by extension Newfoundland dialect, for Normore. This is certainly a more recognizable Newfoundland name. After downloading these PCC wills researchers should seek the advice of those who are experienced in paleography. In the case of Samuel Angel's will, it doesn't take a great deal of study to determine the name of the first wife of Samuel (Sury as is reported) as Lucy. Of course, the same is true for Lucy, the daughter of Sam. To verify this all one has to do is look through the will for instances of the upper case L and for the lower case c, of which there are several. The daughter, Clare as reported, thus becomes Grace (the last four letters of a five letter girl's name is race - what else but Grace could it be!). This can be determined even if the first letter is not very clear.

Dear Joseph. The first William Gallop in Newfoundland married Mary Kearley and had the following children Mary Anne married James Hickman Elizabeth married James Young Anne married Benjamin Belbin Amelia married George Aaron Forsey William married Jane ? Jane married James Moore Susan married James Lake Grace married Henry Martin Benjamin married a Jane? Amelia Gallop daughter of Benjamin and Sarah Gallop married Robert Forward and moved to Sydney in the late 1800's William Gallop moved to Codroy from Fortune in 1835 along with his sisters Jane Moore and Elizabeth Young.
