The cemetery is actually called Ayer's Cliff Cemetery but it is located right in back of Beulah United Church. You can find a list of burials (names recorded from the tombstones) at: http://interment.net/data/canada/qc/stanstead/ayers/index.htm Leslie Nutbrown Sherbrooke, QC
Many of the listers on this site have helped me look for my great grandfather, John Roberts Widdup, of Sherbrooke in 1901. I have at last found him after some 6 years of searching. Where was he?. Back in his native England from 1902!!!!! Thank you all Sue Hayter Rochdale England --------------------------------- Yahoo! Messenger NEW - crystal clear PC to PC calling worldwide with voicemail
Sue, So glad you found him! I went through something similar in searching for the death of my great great grandmother in England after 1881. Many years later found that she died in Lowell, MA in 1904 (about 30 miles from where I grew up). My grandmother had even helped me with family history before she died in 1969 -- and never once mentioned that she was aware my grandfather's grandmother died in the states. She had come over with another one of her children a bit later. I had been looking for the siblings over in England, and by chance, found that another child had died here in Lowell. Locating the census, found her in 1900. I spent YEARS looking in Leeds and Hunslet, Yorkshire. End result -- doesn't matter. Found them. ;-) Congratulations! Sometimes we look so long in one place, we miss the likely, LOL. --Pam in Orlando Sue Hayter <jrwsdf@yahoo.com> wrote: Many of the listers on this site have helped me look for my great grandfather, John Roberts Widdup, of Sherbrooke in 1901.
