There have been descendents of the many NOVA SCOTIA PACE ancestors (JAMES & DARIUS) on this list, some living in New England. I don't think the people will mind the request reaching the Pace list. Maybe someone can offer something. Somehow, I'd forgotten coal mining, smelters, railroads, etc. brought my PACE and related ancestors from where the Industrial Revolution took place in the west midlands of England to "elsewhere areas" where industries developed in the world. Some went to Poland with steam engines in early 1800s and desc. still there. In this Nova Scotia case, evidence is that surnames PITT, CORBETT show up. PACE is also there so I'm wondering if some are related. Here's the story from: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.pace/1944/mb.ashx Hi I am looking for Paces that are from Glace Bay, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. Or any of their descendant. My grandfather Ross Pace was a coal miner in Glace Bay. My great grandfather was killed in a coal mine. I do not have much information. I do know my granfather was born in Ecum Secum, Cape Breton. I have also been told that my family goes back to England, but that is the only information that i have. Any help would be appreciated. Thank You Bev I (GTP) wrote to Mildred Pace (Lower Sackville NS) who runs Stephen Pace's web site mainly about Paces of Ecum Secum and along the eastern coast of NS. I'll keep you informed. Have a look at http://www.geocities.com/stephenpace.geo/ but for me, please use [email protected] dial up internet loading is often a problem here GP This may be a bit off from what you're asking. I'm Gord Pace in Ontario from coal miner families of Staffordshire, UK. I've wondered if any Paces of Sidney/Glace Bay area, coal miners, are from my Paces of Staffordshire. I know main streets at Sidney are STAFFORD and PITT Streets. the CORBETT name is popular in Sidney phone book. This tells me Staffordshire coal miners were, or descendents are at Cape Breton. My ancestors came from SHARESHILL parish in South Staffordshire UK where PACE PITT and CORBETT families inter-married alot in the 1700s/1800s Have a look at my SHARESHILL web page http://www.pacefamilyhistory.info/pitt.htm My grandfather was a coal miner and died at Lethbridge, Alberta where streets have Staffordshire names also. The same at Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania where coal mining went on. Anyway, maybe this is of interest. I'd like to know if any Cape Breton Paces are from my STAFFORDSHIRE lot. From Cape Breton, I've worked with Burkes, Aspinal. An aspinal was also killed in a mine disaster at Sidney NS. That name also goes back to the Shareshill parish in Staffordshire.
