While reviewing material from the Western Star for 1940, 1944 and 1945, I've found reference to the these two places: MacDale (also spelled McDale), Grand Codroy & Clay Point, Codroy. Has anyone heard of, or seen any other reference to, these places? Thanks in advance to anyone who can help. Ron St. Croix

If Jim Martin is on the list could he please contact me re his contribution to the RNR military records. (Lt. Herbert Power) Cheers, Dan.

Anyone have Gregory in their family in Newfoundland? Hello Thomas, Many thanks for the reply. Very interesting that you have the same records as me on George Gregory and his brother Edward. Are you researching the Gregorys or do you just happen to have the info? If you could pass the request for George onto Nfld Roots that would be great - thanks. Must admit I hadn't thought of that but it's probably not worth me subscribing for one query.

Howdy Folks I am looking for info on my maternal Great Grandfather. He is Robert Ryan (1836 - Dec 17, 1911). He was born in St. Mary's and lived and died on Groais Island. He married Sarah Anna Atkinson (July 27, 1846 - July 04, 1928). Sara was from Herring Neck. I have their children and some of their descendents. I was told that St. Mary's records for Robert's time frame were destroyed by fire (go figure). Anything at all will be helpful. Cheers, Dan.

Charles SPRANKLIN of Burton Bradstock, Dorset received his medal for swimming out in a heavy sea to save the crew of a fishing boat." Charles was the son of Robert SPRANKLIN [bap. SPRAKLAND and bur. SPRACKLAND] & Elizabeth LAKE, m. 9 May 1814 Holy Trinity, Dorchester. He m. Margaret McMULLEN, an Irish Roman Catholic, 6 Jan 1852 Burton Bradstock and after his retirement from the Coastguard Service he was given the sinecure of Lodge Keeper at Arundel Castle, Sussex by the Duke of Norfolk where his son James Hugh had been working as Under Butler. James subsequently became a Canon in the RC Church, was Vicar Forane of the Surrey Diocese and was awarded the CBE. Two daughters, Mary and Margaret, also worked for the Duke of Norfolk. The eldest son Neal Charles went into the Royal Navy and ended up in Australia. His son James Thomas SPRANKLIN (1895-1931) was awarded the Military Medal in WW1. On his death bed, James apparently told family members that he had killed his wife Amelia because she had nagged him to death, and that he had buried her under the South Johnstone Road which was being constructed at the! time in the far north of Queensland near Innisfail where they lived. In turn his son Vincent Charles James was court-martialled in WW2 [currently awaiting further details].

In Sir John Berry's Newfoundlad 1675 census - obviously not a very legible document - Jonathan Hooper is Jonathan Hop. In 1678 the name is very clear. To confirm the name: a 1698 deposition exists in E 134/10Wm3/Trin13/ Exchequer: King's Remembrancer: Depositions taken by Commission wherein Jonathan Hooper v Samuel Lupton for non delivery of salt. Modern day readers will think this a minor offense but salt was a requirement to the cure the dry cod. In other words: this could ruin ones entire year's income. Lupton seems to have been a London merchant mariner. With Devon mentioned in the deposition, I am certain Jonathan Hooper was from Devon. In 1675 & 1678 he was alone in Newfoundland without a wife or children. I have a reference only to the deposition, not the actual document. xxxxxx

Tom; Such is the 'uniqueness' of your postings, I'm wondering if you might be writing a book sometime in the not-too-distant future.

Thank you for those details Thomas. Having ancestors who were involved in the Newfoundland trade makes that sort of information doubly interesting.

As some of you well know by now, I have a copy of a list of inhabitants and visiting fishing masters to Newfoundland in 1678 which will supplement Sir John Berry's of 1675. I can increase the availability of this document when proper permissions are obtained. In it there are differences! This for St. John's: Tho Dodd is Tho Doddle. Geo Peircey is Geo Peirey. Wm Cains is Wm Cainie (Cainy?). Rich Hopkins is Richd Hopins. Wm Matthews is Wm Mathew (1 t). Jno Hodd is Jno Wood (positively). Jno Corum moved into Tarr Baye. Jno Peirey appears as an additional single man with 5 men and 2 boats. Hopefully this is good news for the Newfoundland Perry researchers. xxxxxx

Where should I seek an obituary, if any exists, for John HINDS-HYNES, born in about 1863; died 4 June 1942 in the Change Islands and is buried in the St. Margaret's Anglican Church Cemetery, Change Islands, Newfoundland??? It is possible that John HINDS-HYNES is a brother or close relative to my nephews' ancestor Matthew HYNES, born about 1858-1862 in the Change Islands, married Hannah COBB on 30 May 1883 in the Lower Bay Islands Methodist Church, emigrated to the United States (New York) in about 1895 and died in New York before the 1910 United States census. I would be very interested in communicating with anyone familiar with the HINDS-HYNES family of the Change Islands. My primary objective is to determine the names of Matthew HYNES' parents, grandparents, et al. Gene Mattocks Xiomara Balladares & D. Gene Mattocks, 1044 E.

this is taken from The Encyclopedia of Canada, Newfoundland supplement 1949 Hayman, Robert (d. 1631?), epigrammatist, was a native of Devonshire. At Exeter College, Oxford, he acquired some reputation as a poet and became a B.A. He succeeded John Mason (q.v.) as governor of Guy's colony, and in letters to the King he predicted failure of the colony unless large grants were forthcoming. After returning to England he published, in 1628, in one volume called Quodlibets, four books of translations, epigrams and verse which he had written at Harbour Grace. In 1628 he set out to settle a plantation in Guiana, and is thought to have died there in 1631. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Thomas Cole" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]>; <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, November 18, 2006 8:53 PM Subject: [NFLD-LAB] Robert Hayman, Governor of a Newfoundland colony.
