He was of the Church of England faith when he married Ellen Cummins in the R.C Church in Portugal Cove in 1853. Children born of this marriage were Lucy, Anne, Edward, Mary Ann, John Joseph and James Thomas , my grandfather. Is there anyone out there who can provide information about his parents or siblings? I know the Metcalfe's lived in that area from as early as 1801. > Joan >
