My son-in-law, Jeffrey Andrews of Maine, is
the descendant. I am the family genealogist For his family, I am researching
the Andrews of Port de Graves. Anyone interested can visit this tree on
Ancestry. If they do not have a membership, I can “invite” them on to the
site if they give me their e-mail address.
So far I have identified: Jeff’s great grandfather, Robert Andrews, born 8
Sep 1882, Port de Graves; emigrated to Maine and married Elizabeth Strang;
died 26 Jul 1954 in Brewer, Maine. His father was George Andrews (1848-1916)
who married Mary Jane Anthony c 1877 (I don’t have further info on Mary
Jane). George’s father; Robert Andrews b c 1810 married Fanny Daw. That is
about it yet. I would love to get more information on any of these families.
Currently I get what I can glean from the Newfoundland Grand Banks website.
I am a volunteer librarian at the Jupiter, FL Family History Center, and
will be ordering microfilms to verify what I can. Happy Hunting Everyone….

I am trying to find information on my Great
Grandmother Naomi Butler from Burnt Head Cupids. She was born about 1857 and
she firstly married John Bussy 8 Nov 1877 and this is shown in Brigus
Methodist Marriages 1813-1892--Volume 36A. Witnesses to the marriage were
Albert Noseworthy, Alfred LeDrow, Elizabeth LeDrow and Rachael Butler. I
wonder if any of these ladies might be sisters.
She married my Great Grandfather Charles Edwin Bragg around 1883 but I have
no idea where this occurred. I have no Idea as to who her parents were but I
was told by my late deceased Aunt, that my Grandfather had cousins in Cupids
having surnames of Butler and Dawe and possibly LeDrew. Any information
would be appreciated.

Hello there:
My name is Mark Allan Delaney. I'm from Centerville, Massachusetts. I'm 54
years old, married with two grown children. I'm somewhat embarrassed to say
as a police detective, I really don't know that much about my ancestral
(Delaney) family name/history other than these facts: My grandfather, Thomas
William Delaney was born I believe in Pooch cove, Newfoundland around 1910.
My grandmother, Alma Beatrice Noseworthy Delaney was born I believe in
Salmon cove, Newfoundland around 1910(+). Both of them immigrated to
Chelsea, Ma. as teens or young adults where they soon married and raised
three sons. Norman, Chester and the youngest being my father, Allan Maxwell
Delaney who was born in 1927, Chelsea, Ma. As a young child growing up, all
I really knew of my grandparents family history was they both came from
Newfoundland. Both of Protestant descent. I know nothing to say the least of
who my great grandparents are. I'd like to know the origin/lineage of the
Newfoundland Delaney's, and whether I'm descended from Norman or from Irish
roots. mcdelaney@comcast.net
Sincerely,
Mark A. Delaney

Researcher:
Geoff Martin |

I have been researching a Robert
Martin who was born circa 1833, It is believed by some other
researchers of this line that he came from either Port de Grave or
Harbour Grace. Robert was a broom maker in St. John’s and he died
at age 80 on 13 Aug 1913 in his home on Pilot’s Hill in St. John’s.
Robert appears to have married an Emma or Eliza or Emma Eliza and
then an Emily (maiden name unknown). Perhaps Emma Eliza and Emily
are one and the same person. Children of Robert as known to date are
Mary Jane who married William Ivey, Eliza who married Henry Thomas
Holwell, Jessie who married Francis Cranford, Ronald Chesley who is
assumed to have married a Florence unknown of Pouch Cove, and
finally a son Eric Martin. Children Florence Mabel, Eric and Violet
May all died as infants. I am aware of John Thomas Martin of Port de
Grave who married Rebecca Kennedy and this is the family of another
posting at this site. I have extensive research on the Martins of
Harbour Grace who also
have ties to the Port au Port, Channel/Port aux Basques, Leading
Tickles and Lewisporte.
There are very few places where Robert could fit in my
Harbour Grace research.
Additionally I have quite a bit on the Martins of St. John’s and
adjacent Torbay. If
anyone has information on the Martins of Port de Grave I would be
very interested in sharing/comparing notes. Geoff Martin, Calgary

daughter of family from Port de Grave which is where the Ralphs mostly
originated in Newfoundland as far as I understand. Sarah was probably born
about 1825, although I am unsure if the birthplace was Flat Island or
elsewhere. Any information on Sarah, her parents or anything else of

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???

cemetery, particularly the one for "Bridget Delaney" age 22--the headstone
is said to be erected by a Msgr. Toussaint and several other gentleman in
"estimation of her many good qualities"? Could anyone give me information
about this stone or any of the other Delaney stones in the cemetery, or
about Msgr. Toussaint--I have been unable to locate any information through
internet research. Thank you, Kim Balay Camrose, Alberta

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.

Hello –
I’m trying to trace my husband’s family history and have become quite
stuck. His Great Grandmother (we don’t know her first name) was a Kennedy
who was born in Hibb’s Hole about 1850 and she
married a MARTIN (we don’t know his first name but it could be John). We
know her brother’s name was Samuel who was also born in
Hibb’s Hole September 1847. His wife died before 1911 (census). He
had two sons. Robert J was the youngest and died at the age of 25 in the
Boston area working with his cousins (my husband’s grandfather) doing iron
work at a building site.
news item. Samuel’s other son was Charles H. born July 1885.
Charles married Diana before 1911 (they lived with Samuel at the time of the
1911 census) she was born in Pick Eyes in 1891. Their children were
Susannah b. Dec 1911, Samuel b. Feb 1918, Malcolm b. May 1920, Leslie b.
1927, and Lewis b. 1930.
I’m
trying to find two things: First I would like to find information on
Samuel’s sister who married a Martin. Her first name would be a blessing.
Second, we would love to find some distant cousins. Thanks – Beverly
Martin
