Thanks Nigel I am going to see if I can track a copy down. A bit off topic but when I was in Saint John (The Loyalist City) at a Board of Director's meeting one night I referred to the Loyalists as America's first draft dodgers. Well, I though Mayor Elsie Wayne would go off her stick - she sure didnt like that remark and wanted me to retract it. Being a bull headed Caper I of course wouldnt and wanted to debate it. lol George ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nigel Service" <nigel.service@gmail.com> To: <NS-CAPE-BRETON@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, July 04, 2008 3:46 PM Subject: [NS-CB] Loyalists and Layabouts > For those with Loyalist roots in Cape Breton, the hardcover book > "Loyalists > and Layabouts" by Stephen Kimber is in abundance at Costco in Halifax in > large inventory.

She liked going for a walk, reading, talking about the weather, knowing exactly what time it was, tickling her grandchildren's feet. She loved to eat black forest cake, lobsters and a good feed of smelts. She loved her stories (soaps), writing letters, hanging out with her grandkids, drinking coffee and smoking (she did quit). She missed the ocean, loved to have company and enjoyed getting dressed up for every occasion. The absence of Madeline's spirit, full of love, acceptance and gratitude, here on earth will make the days a little longer for all those who knew and loved her. Madeline will be forever missed by her two loving daughters, Sharon Cecilia Halefoglu, Grande Prairie, Alta., and Wendy Sylvester, Vancouver, B.C.; two grandchildren, Jessie Cecilia Gendron, Peace River, Alta., and John Andrew Gendron, Grande Prairie, Alta.; two great-grandchildren, Austin Andrew Pierson and Kade Andrew Gendron; brother, Peter O'Day and sister, Elizabeth Shepherdson of Cape Breton, James O'Day and Annie May Tauro of Boston; and all her nieces and nephews. "I see her cliffs like loving arms held high above the foam; Cape Breton stands with outstretched hands to bid me welcome home." The cremation took place at Oliver's Grande Prairie Funeral Chapel & Crematorium on July 2, 2008, in Grande Prairie, Alta. A private service will take place at Madeline's daughters in Grande Prairie on Saturday, July 5, 2008, at 11 a.m. Fr. Albert will be in attendance. As per Madeline's request her ashes will return home to Port Morien. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Canadian Diabetes Association. Condolences may be sent by visiting www.oliversgrandeprairie.com or Sharon Halefoglu, 9409-70 Ave., Grande Prairie, Alta., T8V 5W7. ******************************************************************************* Cape Breton Deaths courtesy of CBGHA http://www.cbgha.org

Re: [NS-CB] Edward Jessome / Eliza Ann Young / Elizabeth SomersThis is very good detective work. I saw Elizabeth Somers as the mother of Thomas on his death registration, but since it was completed by the son of Thomas, I assumed the grandson was unfamiliar with his grandmother's maiden name. I have notice that is not uncommon. I have a birth date of Aug. 1833 for Elizabeth Ann Young. I got it from Eric Burton zaxciel@hotmail.com, Mi'kmaq-Young - Lejeune-Benoit-Burton family tree. http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=zaxciel&id=I13. That could make Elizabeth Ann 19 at the birth of Thomas. I don't know what Eric used for a source, but I will send him an email.

The following website shows Thomas Jesso as the son of Edward and Elizabeth Ann Young (married about 1851 and Thomas born 09 Oct 1852 (day/month same as death certificate - but the year is 2 years off): http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~friendsandfamily/jesso.htm. But I've found other errors in those pages, so not quite reliable I guess (the site asks for corrections, but I can't find an e-mail address to send to - as the death date for Emelia (Emma Jane) Deveaux is not correct according to www.novascotiagenealogy.com. If anyone knows the author, I have a couple verified corrections that I could provide. Anyway, back to Edward Jessome and his wife Eliza/beth Young/Somers: Now the 1901 census has Elizabeth's birth date as Aug 1839. She would have been far too young to have had Thomas in 1850, even 1852. The 1881 census has Elizabeth's birth date as 1836. Again, a little too young to be having Thomas as 1850, and even 1852 is a little too close at 16 years old. There's a burial record as follows - which would give Elizabeth's birth date as 1837 - again, she's young to be having Thomas in 1850/1852 PIONEER CEMETERY Little Bras d'Or, Cape Breton County, NS Elizabeth, wife of Thomas Jessome, 19 Dec 1912 age 75 yrs For my own tree, I'm going to stick with Elizabeth Somers as the first wife, with a disclaimer of the validity of that information. Hopefully, I'll get to Bras d'Or within the next year or so and will be able to check the church records. I'm actually going to Cape Breton in a couple weeks, so maybe I can fit in a trip. I know my husband would love to get the chance to touch base with his Mi'kmaq roots. If any of you find anything that can help me target a little closer to what I need to look for, please let me know. I think I would start at marriages around 1848/1849 to at least 1853 and then births between 1849 and 1854 to see what I come up with. Thanks for this great exchange of info!!

Well, I'm not quite sure now on Edward Jessome, wife Eliza/Elizabeth and a son Thomas. Edward Jessome and Elizabeth Young are on the 1881 Canada Census as follows - and I can find marriage records at www.novascotiagenealogy.com for most of the listed children - all showing Eliza or Elizabeth Young as the mother. There's no Thomas, but he is old enough to have left home.

Thomas' marriage record just shows Edward & Eliza as parents - so it could be either Somers or Young.

Our Edward must have married Elizabeth Somers first, had Thomas, assuming Elizabeth dies shortly after, he then marries Eliza/beth Ann Young and has a zillion more children.

I have received so much help with my Nicholsons and just think that since it's Canada Day, I can go out on a limb and be a little bit emotional and "off topic" and say thanks to everybody who takes the time to help (sometimes) total strangers with their families. It's inspiring. Jane Nicholson

Hi Laurie, I have much the same information you have. The family of Thomas Jessome & Emma Jane Devoe had three Elizabeths! Elizabeth Leva born 1880 must have died young. There were two other Elizabeths. One Elizabeth (went by Libby) married John George Boutilier and James Carbery. The other Elizabeth married Ralph Boutilier. The following is the info I have collected on them: Baptism at St. Joseph’s, L’Bras d’Or of Sibie Jessome, daughter of Thomas Jessome & Emma Jane Jessome, born between 1899/07/03 & Easter Sunday, Godparents: Walter Jessome and Eliza Jessome She was Libbi in 1901 census-b. Mar 21, 1900 age ca 1899, Mar 1901 in 1911 census The same Elizabeth Jesso, born Mill Creek, spinster, age 19 (ca 1900) d/o Thomas Jesso & Emma Devoe married John George Boutilier, miner, bachelor, age 27 (ca 1892) , s/o John Boutilier & Mary Martin, born at Sydney Mines, residence Alder Point. Marriage date June 17, 1919, L’Bras d’Or Catholic, Witnesses Louis Jesso & Caroline Moore. Elizabeth signed her name Libby Jesso. NSARM has her name Jibby Jessome. John Boutilier died in 1921 and Libby was a widow when she married James Carbery in 1923 James Carbery, bachelor age 27 born at Mill Creek, s/o Edward Carbery & Annie Hillan married Elizabeth Jessome Boutilier, widow, age 23, (ca 1900) born at Mill Creek, d/o Thomas Jessome & Emma Devoe, Aug 26, 1923 L’Bras d’Or Catholic. She signed her name Libby Jessome Boutilier. Witnesses were Ralph Boutilier & Elizabeth Jessome. Now, this is what I have on the other Elizabeth who married Ralph Boutilier: Elizabeth, d/o Thomas Jessome & Emma Jane Devoe, born Sept 4, 1904 Mill Creek, baptised at L’Bras d’Or, Godparents: Charles Moore and Lottie Rasmus Elizabeth Jessome, age 22, (ca 1903) spinster, born at Mill Creek, d/o Thomas Jessome (b. Mill Creek & Emma Devoe, witnesses John Thomas Jessome, Mill Creek, & Theresa Boutilier Headstone: Boutlier In memory of Ralph Boutlier 1906 - 1943 His wife Elizabeth Jessome 1904 - 1962 "Rest in Peace" Footstones "Mother" and "Father" I don't think she went by Libby.

Hi Laurie, I am just having a look at your genealogy. I see you have Thomas Jessome as the son of Edward Jessome and Elizabeth Ann Young. Thomas' death record shows he was the son of Edward Jessome and Elizabeth Somers. death record of Thomas Jessome died Oct 27, 1927 Mill Creek, age 77 yrs 18 days, born Oct 9, 1850, cardio renal, French married, son of Edward Jessome and Elizabeth Somers, informant Thomas Jessome Mill Creek his son----NSARM death records on line. I suspect It is the same Edward who was married twice. Charlene On 1-Jul-08, at 11:20 AM, Laurie wrote: > Did John Jessome marry twice?

Hi all Happy Canada Day! I wonder if anyone can help me with my research? I live in England and my Great Aunt, Sarah Ann Williamson (nee Hickman) emigrated to Canada in 1927 with her husband, George and their 3 children George H., Frederick and Reginald. George H., I know, had a lumber business in Blackett's Lake and I also know that Sarah, George, George H and Reg are all deceased and interred at Dr John Pringle Memorial Cemetery. My Grandmother (who brought me up) used to correspond quite regularly with someone who might have been either George H's wife or sister. I'd be delighted to hear from anyone who might be connected or have information. Regards Michael Harris-Hickman --------------------------------- Not happy with your email address?

Did John Jessome marry twice? I have his wife as Jane Doucette. My husband is a direct descendant of Andre Jessome and Margaret Young, through their daughter Margaret who married John Corbett.
