    1. [NS-L] Burris / Parker families of Mill Stream area
    2. Robertson, Scott (Toronto - Finance)

    3. Good afternoon, I'm looking for any info on the Burris or Parker family of the Mill Stream area. Not exactly sure but may be in the Colchester area. I have a Hiram Burris m. Alice Parker around 1888 or after. The marriage document (from Restigouche, I will assume they moved) has Hiram's parents James Burris and Mary Keith and Alice's parents William Parker and Mary A. Marshall. Both were living in Mill Stream at the time of the marriage. Would love to hear from anyone who may be connected or add any info. Scott Robertson Toronto
