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
