I am researching the Ralph line from the Port de
Grave area. My father, Mose RALPH, was born at Clarke's Beach in
1887. His parents were William Ralph from Clarke's Beach and
Rachael Stevens from Bareneed. His paternal grandparents were John
Ralph and Ann Rowe. I am looking for information on the parents
and siblings of John Ralph and Ann Rowe. Would appreciate hearing
from anyone who might have information of my great grandparents. annewebster2@rogers.com

Hello – I posted several years ago (with email
Nokesville@starband) and have changed email addresses – as well as
found additional information. I’m still stuck and could use some
help. I still do not know who Rebecca Kennedy’s father is (her sibs:
Samuel, Elizabeth, and Patience Kennedy). I’m guessing he would
have been born around 1825. I
have her husband’s name – John Thomas Martin. I’ve found them on
census records. I still do not know who John Thomas Martin’s father
is. I was contacted at one time by cousins who still live in the
family home in Port de Grave but I have misplaced their email – I was busy
finishing my MBA and lost track of genealogy research. I
will appreciate any and all help. Thank
you very much Beverly Martin

Hi ..... I'm directly decended from Samuel Daw b: abt 1695/6 Ship
Cove, PDG....Samuel had a older brother John b:1694/5......
unfortunately there is no mention of parents for these two sons....
that is my search & also there is no mention of which town/village
the Daw family came from in southern Eng.... they probably started out
in Dorset in the late 1580's & then switched to using ports in
Devon after abt 1650... but this is all pure conjecture. Does anyone
have any GOOD SOLID evidence as to were the Nfld. Daw's were operating
from about 1690???

My grandfather (Cyril porter) was a sailor
in the first world war. He was born in Hibb's Hole , the museum house there
was where he was born, I think. When the war was over he came to the
Straites of Belle, the community of Bear Cove where he married a woman by
the name of Chambers. I have a picture of his mother and father in my
possession, He always spoke of Sandy. I think he was grandfathers
cousin, would love to hear more of the history of the Porters in
Newfoundland. Thank you kindly,

Name:
BISHOP Researcher:
Kathleen Benson Lopez |
|
| |
My grt. grandmother was Patience Bishop born
about 1832/3 ? at Coley's Point. She married John Richards Dec. 2, 1852 @
Bareneed. John was of Bareneed, Patience of Coley's Point. Witt. to the
marriage were. Emma Roberts, Elizabeth Bishop, Isaac Richards and William
Batten. I have never found the Bap. for Patience despite spending hours at
the Archives in St. John's. Her parents remain a mystery to me, although the
name "Patience Bishop" certainly appears frequently in the local records
before her birth in 1832/3. I have her death certificate---she died April
29, 1904 in Burnt Head, aged 71 years.. This too is strange as I cannot find
any of her children there at the time of her death, although Burnt Head
abounds with Bishops and Richards. I would love to make contact with someone
who could shed some light on this brick wall.

lived at the Battery in St. John's by 1910. Thank you.
