Herald CD. Dr. Hazlett S. Crosby - 23 September 1983

I have been trying to find the death notice of my cousin Corby Crosby with no success. He is buried in Fairview Lawn Cemetery (Hazlett S. Crosby, 1896 -1983) with his wife Bert Colwell. The cemetery records provide a date of 20 Sep 1983; it is not clear whether this is the date of death or the burial date. I have looked at the microfilm copies of the Halifax Chronicle Herald at the Toronto Reference Library and found nothing. Could someone with the CD of Halifax obituaries have a look and see if a death notice was actually published? Thank you, David Reed (dreed@ca.inter.net) Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Deborah, you'll have to let me know how you found that one!!! Thanks so much to you and Richard! I've very excited to have finally found them... Too bad we can't search by first name. That would have brought up Mabel, anyway.

Hi folks, Hockey is over and baseball hasn't started yet so I am trying to play catch up with my work on the Burlington (Kings County) Cemetery Society. We posted a list of the interred a few months ago and we are still trying to track down the names of people who are buried there but not showing up on our list. Some names have already been found just by using old community columns from the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. Here is one example of using the old newspapers: "THE REGISTER June 14, 1899 Burlington The crops are looking fine; the apple trees are in full bloom at present making our homes look beautiful. A former resident of this place was interred in Burlington cemetery on the 8th inst., Mr. Henry Ray, of Berwick, a much loved and respected friend and neighbor. He was laid beside the remains of his wife and children." If you have a relative, ancestor etc., who is buried in the Burlington cemetery (Kings County) could you please contact me?

Hi Bev and all I got a response from John MacLeod who works at NSARM and he gave me an explanation that indicated that these County "Books" that we are looking at on the new NS website (or at least the marriage pages we are looking at) were all held together at Halifax. And when the clerk grabbed a book, he/she may have grabbed the wrong book to write the info in. In my case, since the marriage took place in Kings County (confirmed via other sources,) the info from the license may have inadvertently been logged into the Hants Book. However, John said that these folks were very diligent in their duties, even going so far that when they found an error, they would scratch out the entry in the wrong book and re-enter it in the correct book. John also indicated that an "unusual" situation may have precipitated the writing of "other" county information into "another" county book. In my case, I know of no special circumstance that would have caused the clerk to write the Kings County info in the Hants Book. In is interesting to note that on the same page in the Hants book where I saw the Kings County info, there is another couple who got married in Halifax (also lived in Kings County) and that Halifax County info is written into the Hants County book (looks like by the same clerk by the handwriting.) I suspect the clerk might have been having a "bad day" although I understand that an "unusual" event may have caused what I am labeling a "mis-entry" for now. My apologies if my interpretation is incorrect. Thanks for your comments. Kings County is adjacent to Hants county and the place they married (Canning, Kings County) isn't that far from the border. However, back in 1868/9 travel may have been prohibitive. If it wasn't a mis-entry into the wrong book, I'm not sure what the true answer would be.

Just had a real brainwave, and it relates to friends in Maryland... Both lived in Prince Georges County, and so had to apply for the marriage license in the county in which they lived. They were married in Anne Arundel County (adjoining county) as that is where they went to church. The minister actually drove the two miles required to pronounce them married in Prince Georges County. The license is good for the county in which it is issued and the marriage must be performed in that county. Wonder if that was similar in Hants/Kings/Hfx as both were based on old blue laws.

More than one responder has indicated that place. The couple resided in Kings County at the time of marriage and the husband was born there. Kings County and Hants County are adjacent to each other, but we don't understand why the husband who was born in Kings County, resided in Kings county at time of marriage and married in Kings County would only be listed in the Hants County Book. The marriage is not listed in the Kings Book. Another couple had the husband born in Kings County, resided in Kings County and married in Halifax County (another county adjacent to Hants County.) And this marriage only listed in Hants County. (Not in Halifax nor Kings Books.) In both cases the wife's place of birth is not given. But maybe these wives were born in Hants County? But I am told that only the husband could apply for the license. But maybe he was forced to by the wife? But if that's the case, why Hants County when they were living in Kings County? Confusing, isn't it? Have asked a few more friends for their input. Hopefully we'll get something favorable in short order.

Can you scan in the page that shows the place in Hants County. Someone may recognize it as a former name of a place in Hants or Kings Counties that no longer exists. I'm thinking specifically about my hometown in Colchester Co. It was Folly Village until 1908 and then it was changed to Glenholme (pop. 93). This is a possibility for the village in Hants. Just a thought, but did the county lines change. This community could have been in either county if the line changed or maybe close enough to the line that both places claim it. Another example of what I'm talking about...Bristol TN or VA...the state line runs through the middle of the town so half is in each state. Take care...

Possible scenarios: (1) It may have been that the members of this marriage were part of a religious sect that only had their "official" minister available in Hants County where they traveled from the "other" county of marriage (be it Kings or Halifax) to Hants County to get their marriage "official" solemnized. (2) Or it could have been that one member of the wedding party was born in Hants county while the other member was born/married elsewhere. For the Halifax County marriage that shows up on the Hants County books, it appears that the husband was born in Kings County while it doesn't indicate where the wife was born. Maybe she was born in Hants County? And therefore was listed in Hants after marriage? (3) For the Kings County marriage that shows up on the Hants County books, the husband was also born in Kings County, and again, it doesn't indicate where the wife was born. In each of these marriages, the wife was also residing in Kings County at time of marriage. Could this wife have been born in Hants County as well? (4) If this is the case in (2) and (3) above, the next question ought to be - Why are these 2 marriages not listed in the Halifax Book or the Kings County Book? Only found in the Hants County Book. (5) Further ideas welcomed Richard ***************************************************** Hello again I just pulled up the 1911 Hants County census areas and there is no locality in Hants county that is even near the spelling of what looks like "Canning" that is in the Hants Book.

Richard ********************** http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/11135a.htm XI. MARRIAGE LAWS By the provisions of the British North America Act, the subject of marriage and divorce is assigned to the Dominion Parliament, and that of the solemnization of marriage to the legislature of the province. The former body, under this distribution deals with the capacity to contract marriage, and in pursuance of such power it has enacted (R. S. C., c. 105) that "a marriage is not invalid merely because the woman is a sister of a deceased wife of the man, or a daughter of a sister of a deceased wife of the man". The provincial statute (R. S. N. S., 1900, c. 111) deals with the mode of solemnizing a marriage within the province. It provides that every marriage shall be solemnized by a minister of a church or religious denomination, being a man and resident in Canada, who is recognized as duly ordained according to the rites and ceremonies of the church or denomination to which he belongs. Persons belonging to the society known as the Salvation Army may be married by any duly appointed male commissioner or staff officer of the society. No person shall officiate at the solemnization of any marriage unless publication has been made of the banns of the marriage or a licence has been obtained for the solemnization of the marriage. The banns shall be published in any church at the place in which one of the parties resides by the officiating clergyman in an audible voice during the time of Divine service, and if there is more than one public service in the church on each Sunday, such publication shall be made at three several services held on two or more Sundays; otherwise the publication may be at two several services on two Sundays. Every marriage shall be solemnized in the presence of at least two witnesses. After the solemnization of the marriage the clergyman solemnizing the same shall make out a certificate containing the date of the marriage, the place thereof, the date of the publication of the banns, the church in which and the clergyman by whom the banns were published, the names of the witnesses and his own name, and the religious denomination to which he belongs. The marriage register giving the above particulars, and also the names, ages, residences, etc., of the parties and their parents shall also be filled up. Returns in the prescribed form shall be made by the clergyman to the nearest issuer of marriage licences within ten days after the solemnization. Forms for that purpose are furnished by the issuer of marriage licences. Large penalties are provided for solemnizing marriage without banns of marriage or licence, for refusing to publish the banns, for solemnizing under an illegal licence, and for failing to return the marriage register.

Anyway, according to the "Marriages Solemnized in the County of HANTS" their entry is entered in the HANTS book. Now, the question is - It looks like the city where they married is Canning. At least it looks like Canning. Hard to read!! And Canning is in Kings County. They married in 1869 which is long after Kings and Hants divided into separate counties, right, or am I going on incorrect info? It indicates that Jonathan was born in Cornwallis, which also is in Kings County. What does "solemnization" mean with respect to these entries? Is it possible to have married in Kings County and then get a marriage "solemnized" in Hants County? Little confused on this one.

The NS H. Vital Stats actually proved my grandparents had married even though I believed they had not. I was told they had married in 1911, after five children had been born. This was because the travelling preachers were few and far between - so I was told. I thought this was a cover up story for the late marriage. When I didn't find any record in 1911, I just assumed they lived 'common-law'. However, searching the Vital Stats, I learned they married in 1910. Still, they had lived together for at least four years since their first child arrived in 1906.

Hi Jean: No, the ones I am referring to are ones where we are pretty certain that, both before and after the marriage, the couple was living in NS (in my case, usually in Halifax County). Certainly misspellings, mislocations, mistranscriptions, etc, account for some portion of these, and with a little effort and creativity, I seem to have found a goodly number of same and reported the mis-whatever back to NSARM. But there are still a bunch that defy location in the Vitals Database and, for that matter, almost always in every other records source I have been through--parish registers, marriage bonds, you name it. :-) -----Bob H----- ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jack Simon" <rjmsimon@knology.net> To: "Bob Hegerich" <bobh36@cox.net> Cc: <NOVA-SCOTIA-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, April 19, 2007 2:11 PM Subject: Re: [NS-L] Missing Marriages in Vitals DB > Who knows?

Hi Folks: I have not been following the debate about the new database;but it is not unlike previous attempts to index vitals stats- marriages. As with the county marriage registers there are a number of misspellings/ and interpretations of names and places. Some of my experience with new data base includes variations of zinck , zinc, zink and other spellings that I could not recognize at all. Searches are hampered by incomplete or obtuse locations such as east dover without halifax or County this causes you to search on many different levels some time all locations work when an event is in Halifax County but a search with Halifax Co. does not result in the same search result. At other times when I know when and where a person died from an obit, I use the range feature and a multiple variations on the surname to eventually find the person. I trust the NSARMS will make an effort to encourage the reporting of errors, misspellings and omissions to improve the database which is such a valuable tool. And in general it is a gold mine of information.. Ron Zinck On 4/19/07, Jack Simon <rjmsimon@knology.net> wrote: > > Who knows?

Who knows? Maybe some of those Canadians who married each other possibly showed up as married in USA, or even in Europe, during World War II, and that's why their marriages didn't show up in Canadian records. They didn't show up in the Canadian records because they had already been married in USA, or Europe. I have relatives in Nova Scotia, where the wife was born in Holland, and the husband, Canadian mililtary, was born in NS, all this during World War II. In order for the Canadian military to pay for the Dutch war bride's boat passage to Canada, they probably got married in the Netherlands, and therefore, her passage to Canada, as the wife of a Canadian military man, was paid for by the Canadian military. Certainly a financial savings. Certainly there were many more World War II war brides, than there were common-law-marriages, in those days. If the missing marriages don't show up, I'd at least look in USA for their marriage records, unless none of them had ever been as adults to USA. My own maternal grandparents, both Canadian born and raised, were married in Boston, Mass. USA in 1899. I queried the City of Boston for their marriage record. It wasn't there, in the Boston records. Consequently, I queried the Boston, Mass. State House on Beacon Street for the marriage record. They found it. My grandparents had been married in Hyde Park, Mass. In 1899 Hyde Park was a separate entity, and not part of the City of Boston then. Hyde Park became part of the City of Boston some time after their 1899 marriage. That's why their marriage record did not show up in the City of Boston marriage records. I hope my experiences will help someone.

Hi All: I occurs to me, after participating in the discussion about marriages on this list, that common-law marriage may be the reason why a number of people whose obit says that are survived by a spouse don't show up in the NS Vitals database. I.e., the database contains, almost by definition, only solemnized marriages. In the US, in those fifteen states (plus the District of Columbia) where common-law marriage is still recognized, one of the requirements for it to be a legally valid marriage is that the couple must present themselves to the community as Mr. and Mrs. So-and-so, husband and wife. Now I know that Canada's laws regarding common law marriage are different, but I wonder if that's how a number of the people who show up in various documents as "Mrs. So-and-so" got to be same. -----Bob H-----

Hi Sherry, thanks for your interest, The Jessie Mac Innis you listed would have been born circa 1822, ---------------- the Jessie Mac Innis of my interest was born in 1836, in Skye Glen, so unfortunately, not the same person. The book , Mabou Pioneers, indicates Miles Mac Innis, one of the original settlers of Skye Glen, had a daughter named Jessie, this is probably the lady in question, will continue to look for confirmation, again, thanks.

Hi - I've been searching for my great-uncle's family on the 1911 census and have been unable to trace them. They were living in Louisbourg in 1905 when one of the children was born, and the death register for another child in 1924 indicates they had lived at 23 East Street since 1911. I've searched through the census for the East Street area of Sydney in 1911 and have only come up with one address on East Street, number 5. I also didn't find South Street, which crosses East Street, so I'm wondering if those two blocks hadn't been developed before the 1911 census. Basically, I need help determining when houses were built on East Street. (This is close to the Whitney Pier Memorial...) I've been unable to find the family in Automated Genealogy, which could mean they were missed completely in the 1911 census or the last name was mis-spelled. They may have lived somewhere else between Louisbourg and East Street, and if there were no houses in that part of East Street until after the census it would at least confirm that they were not at that address then. They are not under the Louisbourg census or under any other census in that area. The names are John Alvah Nicholson (head, born 1874), Mabel Nicholson (wife, born 1880), Alma Nicholson (born 1903), Wesley Alexander Nicholson (not the one in Dartmouth) (born about 1904), and Grace Mabel Nicholson (born about 1905). It would be helpful to locate the census entries to determine the ages of the children and if there were others born before the 1911 census. Thanks for any help you can provide!

Hi Carolyn, Thank you for posting this URL . I just checked for the year, 1887, for both N.B. and ME, and found some interesting information. For the Maine men "lost at sea" (out of Gloucester), I found several references to the year, 1887. And, at least 2 of the men were on the ship, Jamestown. I just did a Google search for the ship, Jamestown, and found this web page - which describes the ship running aground off the coast of Iceland: http://www.leoemm.com/jamestown_english.htm And, this page describes the history of the ship, Jamestown: It had quite a history ! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Jamestown_(1844) If you do a Google search for "ship Jamestown," you will find more sites mentioning it ! Betty (near Lowell, MA, USA) P.S. I continue to look for information on the "death at sea" of John KIDDER in 1887. And, on one of the sites mentioned above, I noticed that one of the captains of the ship, Jamestown, was registered in Richmond, ME, as having the captain, C. H. KIDDER. (I will try to find out who this C.H. KIDDER was.) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carolyn" <cosawler@bwr.eastlink.ca> To: <lunen-links@rootsweb.com>; <NOVA-SCOTIA-L@rootsweb.com>; <nfld-roots@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, April 18, 2007 11:21 PM Subject: [NS-L] Lost at Sea Site > Hi Liz > Here is the Lost at Sea site .
