What i can tell you is that william and johanna (sylvester)paul had a son (in the tilting rc records) named abraham baptized aug 6,1862. I also have marriages for 2 abraham pauls. marriage #1 was to mary elizabeth elliot. june 3,1895. he-30 she-25yrs. Ships cove at wigwam point. witnesses, Alfred beaton and ellen paul. marriage #2 Your abraham, 30, to margaret kennedy 25. RC, wigwam point. witnesses alfred beaton and mary beaton (paul). Alfred and mary are my husbands g grandparents and ellen is, I believe marys mother and is related as either a cousin or older sister to abraham (1862) as she was born around 1850. I will continue to look, though as they are all related, but they are so elusive!I probably have more data on every paul but my own! There is a micmak census from the rooms in st. johns and I believe that it is only 1921. I will keep everyone alerted if i find another cen! sus that can be accessed. I do not have any records for abraham and margarets children, if you are a decendant then start at your own parents and work backwards. We even went to the old neighbourhoods trying to get some info! and we live in alberta, so another trip to nfld is soon coming! Also there is a grave yard in peterview that was the indian burial ground but there are only the beaton markers on it and one for a john cook. but their decendant told me that there are hundreds of people buried there. lots of pauls and also in pt.leamington. We think our mary paul is there but no way to know for sure. I hope this helps and maybe someone else might get a spark from a word or two of this and help us out so thankyou for writing shawna and if you get anything let me know and I will do the same. jackie Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
