I lived next to that sanitorium for four years 1965-69 at the Coast Guard College. The sanitorium was originally part of the Pt. Edward Naval Base, as was the Coast Guard College.

Hello, I had sent an e-mail about a month ago asking if anyone knew where I could get a copy of the Canso Breeze , one of the summer editions from the year 1949. A couple sent me an e-mail address where I might find them .I lost the addresses. Could someone please send them again. Thank you, Margie

There was also a TB sanitorium in Point Edward. I was born in it 56 years ago and was passed out a window to my aunt two hours after I was born so I wouldn't get infected. I am not sure of the years of operation for it.

The insane asylum that George mentioned was called "The Inverness County Home". Its first superintendent was Donald T. (Big Donald the Asylum) MacDonnell.

Not all of the people sent there were "off their heads", some were simply elderly feeble people who had no one able to care for them (thanks to the old Cape Breton form of home care, there were not many of this type sent there). One notable and regrettable note on that institution is the fact that Catholic and Protestant patients who died there were buried on opposite sides of the road into the place (even if you were crazy you had to have a different way to Heaven).

Your aunt was no doubt one of my nurses. I was 7 years old at the time of admission and remember the place quite well, including the windows where people could come by and hold up their kids for patients inside to view and admire. Here's something from Wiki on the naval base there: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMCS_Protector The base closed in 1965, about the same time the Coast Guard College opened nearby. I am still not sure if that was the year the hospital itself closed because it was already a civilian institution in 1950.

Hi, I am hoping someone may be doing research at St Margaret's in East Bay/Grand Mira if they could check out 2 things for me. First is the death of Hugh Mc/acDonald who was born about 1830 and must have died between 1877-1880 when there was no gov't record for deaths for I can't find his death on the Nova Scotia site. His parents name or birth and death years, where he could have been born. Second the Marriage of Effie Mac/cDonald to Ronald McDonald about 1833 French Road (first known child came Feb 1884) , both were buried in St Margaret's so I am presuming they were married there too. On the church marriage record I am looking for groom and brides mother's names. What I have so far and can't prove is Ronald's parents could be Angus MacDonald and Christie MacDonald. Effie's parents are Hugh MacDonald and Catherine MacLeod. I have birth and death dates for both of them.

Hello Bernardine and Sheila, At one time before 1900, there might have been a sanitarium in Mabou, I have seen records, where they place a person there.

Sheila, I could be wrong about this but I don't think there really was a sanatorium as such in 1858 in C.B. All of the deaths due to Consumption (Tuberculosis) that I have come across, appear to have taken place at home. Consumption was very common and sometimes whole families were eventually wiped out from this dreadful illness.

Dear List, In Sydney Mines, around 1858, if someone had a lung condition - would anyone know if there was a sanitarium they could have been sent to? We are looking for a death record for Timothy Hennessey, wife Ellen Walsh b. 1819 Bras d'Or. They had land in Little Bras d'Or bought from Ellen Walsh's parents: John and Ellen/Helen Walsh. Stories handed down indicate that Timothy was younger than Ellen - b. around 1824 in Ireland - and that she raised the children alone after his death around 1858. Thank you, Sheila

I’m looking for the origins of Neil McDonald, Clyburn Brook area, (behind Number 9 hole, Highland Links), Ingonish. He married Eliza Brewer, Ingonish, on 12 Sep 1855, daughter of George Brewer and Jane Robinson, both from England originally. Neil and Eliza are our Great-great-grandparents. They are listed in the Census of 1861, 1871, and 1881, both Eliza and Neil as having been born in Nova Scotia. In 1881 the children in their household are: Jane 27, George 18, Annie 16, Elizabeth 14, Emiline 10, Michael 7, James John 1, and Robert 0 yrs. "The McDonald farm" is remembered by Maurice and Emma Donovan in an interview in the Cape Breton Magazine, reprinted in "The Cabot Trail in Black and White", by Ronald Caplan. Neil's eldest son, our Great-Grandfather Angus McDonald, by 1881 had already left home, and is listed in the same Census as living with my G. Grandmother Margaret Fraser (daughter of John Fraser and Flora Tulloch MacDonald), in Bay St. Lawrence ((Family 51-54) with their new born son, John Simon McDonald, our grandfather. Angus, Neil’s son, went on to survive three wives and married a fourth: 1. Margaret Fraser, 2. Eliza Williams, 3. the widow Margaret (Hawley) O’Connell, and 4. Hattie Williams. Between the four wives Angus had 12 children, so there should be many, many descendants in the Ingonish area for whom, like me, Neil McDonald is a Great-Great-Grandfather, especially in the McDonald, Hawley and Williams families. So perhaps they can help. I would like to know what family Neil McDonald came from, and from what community. Thanks! Aileen

Hello Arlene....I think I might have some information on those Campbells. Can you be more specific as to any names of the Whycocomagh bunch? It would be easier for me to check that way.
