Hi List: Could someone that has World Deluxe Membership to Ancestry.com look something up for me. It is on the Ontario Marriage records: Chris H Anger to Winnifred Daisy Wilson married June 14,1921. Looking for information on Chris. (his age,occupation,residence,place of birth and the names of his parents) Thanks Ruth Ruth - I tried to e-mail you directly, but apparently the mail server used for my webmail has been used for some sort of spamming, as both AOL and Hotmail keep bouncing my responses. - Jared ---------------------------------- Under AUGER surname: Name: Winnifred Daisy Wilson Birth Place: Virnnia (is this Virginia?)

Deborah, Thank you very much for your suggestions. I'm intrigued by the comment "Other known Nova Scotian chairmakers, examples of whose work have not been found". It would appear that the chairs are older than I had thought. I will do some further genealogical research to see if I can find out more.

David, On pages 11 and 12 of the small book entitled "Nova Scotia Furniture" by George MacLaren, Halifax: Petheric Press, 1969, the author has two lists of chair makers. The first list contains "some of those who branded or stencilled their chairs, examples of which may be seen at the Nova Scotia Museum". The second list is of "Other known Nova Scotian chairmakers, examples of whose work have not been found". This second list includes Debol, Lewis; Halifax; 1805. There is no other information provided about Debol but this meagre information seems to match the marriage bond record that you discovered. As for the genealogy of Debol, the marriage bond record only provides evidence of Debol's intention to marry Elizabeth DeGant. However, on page 37 of "Religious Marriages in Halifax, 1768-1841" by Terrence Punch, Halifax: Genealogical Association of Nova Scotia, 1991, the author indicates that the marriage between Debol and DeGant occurred on 6 September 1823 and that record of the marriage can be found within the records of St. Paul's Anglican Church, Halifax. If you are interested in the family of Debol, you could follow up on the marriage and subsequent children using standard genealogical resources. As for Debol's chair making business, historical significance and connection to your chairs, you may have to locate an appropriate furniture specialist. The Nova Scotia Museum is actually a decentralized system of more than two dozen museums throughout the province. I don't know which one, if any, would have a staff member knowledgeable about Debol. You could pose a query through their website but the only contact seems to be for the webmaster. Hopefully though, a query would be passed along to the appropriate person. Another approach would be to contact the Halifax Public Library and ask them to locate a furniture specialist at one of the museums or universities or elsewhere so you could contact the expert for info on Debol. A third source of information might be NSARM for any information in their collection pertaining to Debol's business. As I am neither a Debol researcher or furniture specialist, these are all the suggestions that I have for you. Best of luck in your search.

Paul Lalonde wrote: > Cheryl > > Pictou is generally not a port of entry for immigrants to Canada. The may be true today. We cannot say say that for the early 1800s. My ggps came from Scotland to Cape Breton around 1842, there is no record of when or where they left from and arrived. After the early 1600s there was no requirement for any record of people sailing from Grate Britain to America. Until the Revolution almost all the colonies in what is now Canada and the USA were part of Britain. There was no more need to have a passenger list for these voyages than for a voyage from Charlottetown to Quebec or Montreal or from Boston to New York or New York to San Francisco. > Halifax > or St. John would be.

There probably would not be any passenger lists for a Great Britain to NS voyage as there was probably no requirement on either end for such a list. All people would have been British subjects. There should be Catholic Church Records in Pictou County. Do a FHLC place search for Pictou county. Probably none of the records have been indexed so you will have to go through each one.

Cheryl Pictou is generally not a port of entry for immigrants to Canada. Halifax or St. John would be. The only major immigrant ship to Pictou that comes to mind was the Hector which brought Scottish immigrants but that was probably much earlier than most Irish immigration. This would lead me to conclude that your Mullans had settled in Pictou for a time and perhaps you could do more searching in that area.

Nancy, I don't know that I will be much help to you. I have an ancestor who was born in Nova Scotia in about 1830 and immigrated to Massachusetts. I found 3 of her siblings also born in Nova Scotia anywhere from 1828 to 1835 and immigrated to Massachustts. All of them give their parents place of birth as Ireland. So far I have been unable to get any information on the parents other then their names. There are no official records from that time but there may be church records. I was advised to look at the Cape Bretton genealogical society website. Occasionally they have 3 day periods where you can use their site for free. You may want to try that website (I googled it) I did that but so far have been unable to find my BALDWIN family. This search fhas been complicated by the fact that they reported to be from Sydney and during that time period what is now Guyborough county was back then named County Sydney, so I do not know if I should look in the city of Sydney or in the county of Guysborough! Best of luck on your search!

Hi Eliane, Sorry to jump in but I just wanted to back you up :-) Thanks Phil .............. The Register, December 18, 1929 Mrs. I. B. Morris The death occurred on Dec. 4th, at the home of her nephew, Aubrey Morris, Melvern Square, Annapolis County, after a lingering illness, of Emma May, wife of Capt. I. Bloomfield Morris of Harborville, in her eightieth year. Mrs. Morris was the daughter of Robert Knowlton of Advocate. Much of her early life was spent at sea, with her husband. She was a member of the Methodist church, and beside her husband and a number of nephew and nieces, her loss will be keenly felt by many friends throughout the community. Internment took place in Berwick cemetery. .............

Hi List, Plugging away on NS vital statistics website I came across this entry. " Sarah Bloomfield Morris and Emona Knowlton married 1873 in Kings County Item can be found in Registration Year: 1873 - Book: 1826 - Page: 64 - Number: 50 " AN EXAMPLE OF TRANSCRIPTION MISTAKES (no criticism intended of those poor tired eyes that do so much good work) This should read Isiah Bloomfield Morris and Emma Knowlton. A reminder that all info should be checked and double checked. While I'm on my soapbox please remember to do simple math on dates as well. It will save a lot of passing on of misinformation.Check my tagline! Cheers, Elaine English "Genealogy without Documentation is Fiction"

I have recently discovered that some of my Irish ancestors did not directly immigrate to the States. John MULLEN (1794-1863) and his wife Margaret (1810-1877) were both born in Ireland. The first record I have found of them is when Margaret arrived in Providence, Rhode Island, in 1835 with her three oldest boys: James, born 1827; William, born about 1831; and Moses, born about 1833. I had thought the boys were all born in Ireland, but in looking at later censuses, all of them gave their birth places as Nova Scotia or English Canada. When Margaret arrived in Rhode Island, the passenger list stated that she and the boys were from Pictou. I do not know if this is where they had been living or is just a port of departure. With so little information to go on, a fairly common Irish surname, and this early time frame, is there any sort of documentation I might be able to find. Are there any passenger lists to or from Pictou during these years? Are there any birth or baptismal records available? Would the Catholic church have any information from this time period? Any help would be greatly appreciated. This family has been difficult to track because they have moved a number of times. I am trying to find where they came from in Ireland and when and where they lived in Canada before they came to the States. Nancy

Hello List, I am hoping someone can help me. Edward Ross contacted me about the Tibert family tree. I am not sure if he is on this list. When I reply to his message, it was returned because his email address is incorrect. I was wondering if anyone is familiar with the address ending @ntl.sympatico.ca I tried @nl.sympatico.ca and @nt.sympatico.ca, but both were returned. Any suggestions? Thanks, Diana Milford, NS
