Jim, having numerous relatives listed on the 1871 Lovell's, I will only state that they were all adult men. In my opinion, you would be correct to assume that young children would not be listed as such. In those years, schooling was mandatory and supported by the community. Families who fished for thier livlihood most likely had young boys on such outings for training or simple pleasure. Good hunting. Vince Dicks, decendant of the Burin Peninsula.

Julie, I have an ancestor named Mary Ann Beaudoin, who lived in the Blanc Sablon area of what is today the Lower North shoreof Quebec. ibelieve she was the daughter of Jacques Beaudoin and Marie Roalsie Letourneau. I haven't been able to locate a baptism record, but I believe she would have been born in the 1840s or 50s. Any connections?

Joseph - I see you've done a fair bit of work on ROBERTS in Brigus. My connection to Brigus is the ANTLE family and, as you note, these families have intermarried a little (pretty hard NOT to intermarry in Brigus!). I have very little information on Mary or her daughter Susanna and if you have anything that fills out that family a little bit more, I would appreciate it. Of course, if you have anything else at all on the ANTLE family I'm sure it will help me put that whole jigsaw puzzle together! Thanks in advance ... Regards - Glen C.

Dublin born friends just returned from their 'christmass in ireland' and told us about a recent newspaper report about the traditional story of 'wren boys' on St. Stephen's day. This story connects to the 'stoning of Stephen the martyr'. Stephen's enemies were searching for him by following a small bird into a thicket where Stephen was found.....the small bird is blamed for disclosing the location of 'the hiding Stephen'.... http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=%22the+wren+boys%22+St.+Stephen%27s+day+Newfoundland+and+ireland&fr=ush1-mail http://trails.wildnewfoundland.com/triton.htm We all know about stories that have modified, with the telling, down through the ages.

Hello all and Happy New Year! I was talking to my grandmother over the holidays (87 and sharp as a tack!) and she was telling me about the Xmas tradition of the wren. I was wondering if anyone else remembers this and where it may have started. My grandmother says it was common in the 1950's when her children were young. Apparently on St. Stephen's Day (Boxing Day), the young fellas in the place would go around, house to house with a bird (a wren) on a stick. They'd sing this little song and you'd give them a few cents or a dollar or whatever. The song went something like: The wren, the wren... the king of all birds St. Stephen's Day was caught in a fuss Although he was little, his honor was great Jump up young lady and give us a treat. Up with the kettle and down with the pan A penney or two will bury the wren. A pocket full of money and a cellar of beer I wish you Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Any info or thoughts would be great! ABC ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Allan B.

Hi. I cannot give you any help. Let me say though that I and others believe that Roberts of Twillingate did come from Brigus. Seeing that you are a Roberts and a male, (I am not, as my mother was a Roberts from Brigus and our line goes back through the 1700's) I wonder if a DNA of yours with a Roberts of Brigus (there are many still there) would help answer. Also there is folk lore that 4 Roberts came from Wales to work as "accountants" in the fish trade and one settled in Brigus (early 1800's) one in Twillingate, one in Hermitage and one in the Rocky Hr area on the West Coast. Here is how I put it for Brigus and we hope to have these 6 family trees in the Rooms soon. There are several reasons for making it extremely difficult, probably impossible, to develop the various family lines of Roberts back through the 18th century. Three main ones are: 1. Volume 13, Conception Bay Plantations Book - held at the Registry of Deeds and Companies, Confederation Building, PO Box 8700 Stn A, St. John's, NF A1B 4J6. Entry 569, p. 82 states that Wm. Roberts Sr died intestate and this property was inherited by his 5 sons (un-named). The date of entry for this record was 1801; Another entry in 1805 has Phelan buying land from Isaac and Thomas Roberts; Dinah Roberts had land inherited from her unnamed father and entered in1771; Wm Roberts. Sr purchased land and entry date of 1768; Dinah Roberts son John had an entry in 1800. Another entry in 1805 for Samuel Roberts; An entry in 1745 says that Wm Percey (likely married the sister of James and Thomas), Jas and Thos Roberts had property inherited from their unnamed father; there is property owned by Ann Roberts a gift from her father and entered in 1772. There are other Roberts properties entered around 1805 and mentioning Thomas & Abram, James & Thomas, Samuel, Isaac. Conclusion: Based on the dates of entry, Wm Roberts Sr (1768) may have had 2 brothers Jas and Thos and a sister who married Wm Percey (1745). This Wm Sr. had 5 sons. Possible names are Thomas, John, Abram, James, Samuel, Isaac or the husbands of Dinah and maybe Ann. All the property mentioned are in the present day Rattley Row and Middle Ridge areas of brigus. 2. The Methodist Records (Roberts were predominately Methodist) had no entries by Rev. Thomas Hickson from 1817 -1822) 3. There is lore from various families that 4 Roberts brothers came in the early 1800's from Wales and settled in 4 areas of Nfld (Brigus, Twillingage, Hermitage and Rocky Harbour).. They were reported to be book keepers for some fish firm(s). David the father of James (born 1825) is likely to be the one who moved to Brigus. With that said, we enter 6 Roberts family lines from the late 1700's to early 1800 that have not been linked. There is likelihood that all except David might be related to each other. The 6 that we enter in Sept. 2006 are 1. James born June 1776. 2. Thomas ("of the Arc") married Elizabeth Percy and she was born in 1772. 3. Charles Roberts born 1792. 4. John Roberts married Mary Antle June 19, 1839. 5. James Roberts & Mary Antle's daughter Susanna born Oct. 1 1806. 6. David Roberts whose son James was born 1825.
