Hello there, sorry for any cross-postings. I am looking for information on GORMAN and EZEKIEL families of Conception Bay, Newfoundland; particularly those families from the town of Harbour Main. I would very much appreciate hearing from any persons researching the families in NL to touch base and to share information. My greatgrandmother, Margaret Anne GORMAN (d/o John GORMAN and Bridget EZEKIEL, see below) was born in 1868 in Harbour Main and died in Avondale on 26 Nov 1946. Margaret married James COSTELLO (s/o John COSTELLO and Catherine KENNEDY), on 28 Nov 1895 in Harbour Main. Margaret's father John Gorman,(1824-1901) married Bridget Ezekiel (1843-1893) on 24 May 1862 in Harbour Main. Children from this marriage were all baptised at St. Peter & Paul's in Harbour Main: i. Mary Josephine Gorman was baptized on 19 Feb 1867. ii. Margaret (Anne) Gorman was baptized on 2 Nov 1868? iii. Stephen Gorman was baptized on 27 Aug 1871. iv. Thomas Gorman was baptized on 23 Sep 1873. v. Martha Gorman was baptized on 21 Oct 1876. vi. there may have been other siblings Any information on Margaret's siblings or her ancestral lines would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! ABC

We have a John Morrissey from Malo France (name became anglazied) who married Margaret Moore. They are of Holyrood. John Morrissey lived with a sea captain William Moore by name and eventually married Moore's daughter Margaret. Date of first child is 1838. So trying to see if she might be of the Moore group in that area of Holyrood. I am not from that stock. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cathy Kendrick" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, NovembeWer 01, 2006 7:13 PM Subject: Re: [NFLD-LAB] GORMAN/ EZEKIEL from Conception Bay >I have quite a bit of information on my Moore side of the family. > Which William Moore?

Hi Allan I have a Maria Gorman in my tree and have not be able to find her birth or parents or much else. Here is what I have on her and her husband. I would appreciate it if you see anything on her to let me know. Cheers, Dan. John Breen was born 14 Aug 1805 in St. John's, NF. Sponsors were Laurence Kitty/Bridget Fitzgerald. 7 Feb 1829 John Breen and Maria Gorman were baptised in St. John's, Newfoundland, in the Roman Catholic Basilica of St. John the Baptist by Bishop M.A. Fleming. Sponsors were James Kennedy and Catherine Breen. They were both adults. I was not able to find the marriage record for John Breen and Maria Gorman. They had children up to 1852. Maria was listed as a widow as early as 1864. So he would have died between 1852 and 1864. I was not able to find the birth record for Maria Gorman. However, Paul Doherty found a death record that we believe to be our Maria. It stated: "Maria Breen, died 29th May 1908. Age 97. Place of residence was Signal Hill Road. Funeral from St. Mary's Church to Forest Road Cemetery. Service performed by Rev. Mosdell". A check with the cemetery records revealed that there was no headstone. Maria was 97 at the time of her death so she would have been born in 1811. She was living on George Street up until 1897-98 with her son and grandson. The 1904 Directory for St. John's showed two families of FARRELLs living on Signal Hill Road. These families could have been descendents of GGGGrandmother Mary Breen whose maiden name was FARRELL. Maria may have gone to live with them when she got older and couldn't care for herself. Uncle Frank said that a Bert Gorman lived near him on Stephen Street. Bert Gorman told him that they were cousins. Frank objected because Bert was a Protestant. Bert had a son Bert and a daughter Ella. Ella married a John Ryan. Frank tells a story about a Gorman woman who was a housekeeper at the Government House while Governor LaMarchand lived there. The Governor imported a side-saddle and invited his housekeeper to try it. She fell from the horse without much injury. Great Uncle Peter told Frank that she was our Great Grandmother. Frank says that there was a Gorman Lane behind the Basilica. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I also found marriages recorded in the Basilica that might be related to Maria Gorman. They stated: MICHAEL GORMAN married Grace LeCour. Sponsored by Michael McNamara and SIMON GORMAN. The date was 18th May 1799. SAMUEL BRIEN married MARY GORMAN. Sponsored by Michael McNamara and Mary & JOHN BRIEN. The date was 30th Jul 1799.

Hey Dan... I'll have a boo and see what I have. I'm actually waiting on some Gorman info from a contact I made... if I find something on Maria, I'll pass it along. All the best...
