    1. [NFLD-LAB] English spelling variations of French sounding words.....
    2. Lloyd Rowsell
    3. Here are excerpts from a recent email exchange which some may find entertaining and perhaps enlightening... "Wish to compare information on any connection with COLLETT any time, any place in Newfoundland. Information also about Collett ancestors in England." REPLY by lghr: " Have you considered these possibilities.... Collett = silent double tt = Colle, Cole, Colley, etc. Beauchamp = sounds like Beecham pronounced by an Englishman who lives at Shepton, Beauchamp. Barre = Barre tt, Barrie, Barry etc. Tippe = Tippe tt, Tippy etc. Leigh = Lee 1805 - COLE LEE"S POINT = 1855 - Cold East Point = 1865 - Coley's Point..evolution of the same English pronounced name. (The first families to have summer fishing resorts on what was also called Indian Point were families with the surnames Cole and Leigh.) "Oui! I am aware of many variants. Thank you for your prompt effort to help me locate some distant Collett relatives. Even though there are many Colletts with French backgrounds mine have been traced to Worcestershire, England and before that to Gloucestershire several hundred years ago. Your explanation for the place name Coley's Point is interesting. When I first discovered that my grandmother's family (no ties to Collett) was from Bareneed it was explained to me that that place name derived from Barren Head. Later I found another explanation - Bearing Head. Both of these were navigational references. Merci!" REPLY: In the 1847 Novel, about the people of that area, written for New England readers, the place was called "Wantfull"... ..In October 2001 I told my neighbour, a former Navy Officer who had spent time in Quebec and Bermuda, I was spending the winter south of Victoria B.C. at Bareneed, NL. His response was something like this. "I don't think you can wear shorts there during the winter even though the place is named "Bare Kneed." He continued, with a straight face.... The place was probably named by someone who visited there only in the summertime. I replied yes, that's right, they were 'resort or migratory fishermen' from NE or Old England back before the American Revolution. ===== "Life is for sharing, naked we enter, naked we leave" __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

    2. Bill Goulding
    3. Here's something that may be of interest. It is a transcript from Thomas Peyton's Diary at the Provincial Archives of Newfoundland and Labrador, St. John's (ref: P5/25 Box 1). I understand that Mr. Peyton was the son of John Peyton, Magistrate at Twillingate. It was not clear exactly when this entry was made but it does contain some good information for family history reseachers: The first settlers at Exploits Burnt Island was Manuels from Gersey Seiviours and Budgel from England. First at Fortune Harbour John Dalton, Valantine Mahaney & Perry. after a few years residence they removed from Fortune Harbour and settled at Exploits Burnt Island about the year 1812.
