1503 Postmistress in 1921. Burt, Nellie (I3652)
 
1504 Presumably this James is the one William Young was referring to; married twice. Noted by W Young in one section of his diary but not listed in another. Anstey, James (I544)
 
1505 presumed to be the same dau named as "Rowena bc Jul 1900 Twill" in 1921 Census, who resided with her sister Bessie 1921, but was listed as dau of Peter Anstey Anstey, Rosanna (I2248)
 
1506 Previously had recorded her death at age 38 in 1885 and also that she had six children with a husband Henry. I believe this now must be a different Emma and Henry.

The death date of Emma Davis Rowsell is Dec 1, 1911 - Source: Diary of AW Rowsell.

 
Davis, Emma Susannah (I486)
 
1507 Probably arrived in Canada 1871.

1871 Census:

Margaret, age 21 - his sister
Sarah, 17 - his sister

1891 Census shows family
James, age 53,
Grace, age 45,
Ella, age 15,

Anstey, Lillian G. (I95)
 
1509 Proof of existance of this son is obtained in the will of Martha Field, his wife. See notes under Martha Field.

George is thought to have been lost at sea. Based on the listings of directories of the time, this probably happened sometime between 1864/65 and 1871. See below. This coincides with the recorded period that 3 of the ships he skippered were lost at sea, i.e. 1868, 1869 & 1870.

Hutchinson's Directory for 1864 - 1865 lists: Field, George, mariner

1518 Ralph was not in RnRowsells notes as being in this family. He never spoke of having an Uncle Ralph. I'm inclined to think he is not of this family.

1521 Refer to the Encyclopedia of Newfoundland and Labrador article regarding Cyril Wellington Strong


From Cyril Wellington Strong's memoirs "My Life as a Newfoundland Union Organizer":

"My father, Ralph Frederick William Strong, was born at Twillingate, Newfoundland, into a family of three sons and three daughters."

"My father had left home at sixteen, to go to sea. At the turn of the century, he was in Alaska and the Yukon during the gold rush, where apparently he made a fortune digging gold. Like many who made fortunes there, he considered himself a financier, using his money to promote various companies. He managed to spend or lose all his money before he died in November, 1922, leaving his wife and family penniless."

"A newspaper account of the wedding notes that 'Molly Newhook was marrying Millionaire Strong'."

"My father had been married previously, in British Columbia, and was divorced."

"... he was buried in the General Protestant Cemetary", in St. John's.

"In June 1924 we moved to St. John's where my mother rented a house and established a boarding house, the Imperial Hotel ... which was up over Knowlings West End store on Water Street ... Around the end of 1925, Uncle Jim and Aunt Minnie came to town from Botwood and wanted to adopt my brother and me. ... My mother would not even consider adoption but she did agree that we could go to Botwood for the winter."

"My mother, nee Martha Penny Rolenda Newhook, was the daughter of a miner who worked in the mine at Tilt Cove, Notre Dame Bay, until it closed. He then moved to St. John's and worked as a carpenter. I understand the family had moved to Tilt Cove from Jackson's Arm, White Bay. I do not know in which place my mother was born, but she was reared at Tilt Cove along with three brothers and two sisters."

"At age one I was taken by mother and father to London, England, where we stayed for three years, and where, just before we came home, my sister, Nada Alice, was born." ... "I was four years old when I returned from England with my father, mother, and newborn sister. The year was 1916...". 
Strong, Cyril Wellington (I683)
