| 1751 | The death date for her father Theophilus Rideout is 1904, but her birthdate shown via census as 1906. | Rideout, Susan (I4061)
|
| 1752 | The death notice of his father lists Edward as last of the five sons and so was probably the youngest. At the time of his father's death, Edward was described as "the popular General Freight Agent of the Reid Nfld Co.'s Railway" Edward's death notice appeared in the Bay Roberts Guardian, of Saturday, January 2, 1926: Passed peacefully away at St. John | Taylor, Erneste W.

| 1754 | The Elliott Family Bible has the name "Elspeth Elliott, Marl. Ont." written inside the front cover.

|
| 1755 | The Elliott family Bible says that John Alexander (father) died in 1888 at age of 70. But it also says he was born in 1826, which would make him only 62 at death. The spelling County Farmanaghe was used in his bible. Handwritten notes found after the death of Isabel Elliott: John Elliott, b. 12 July 1826. Farmer - Oxford (Twp), County Fermanach, Enniskillen, Ireland. D. 3 Nov 1888, . M. 24 Jan 1870 Elspeth McLean, b. 24 Jan 1842 Scotland, d. 8 Nov 1920, In the 1871 census they were living in South Gower township, ages 45 and 30, with their son Edward, age 1. In 1881 they were in Oxford Township. In 1891 Elspeth (a widow) and her family were in Marlborough Township, and in 1901 they were in Kemptville. Their location from 1890-1892 was on lot 3 of the Broken Front of Marlborough township. In 1894, the family was still on that lot but it was John Jr., aged 21, and not Elspeth whose name was on the assessment roll. | Elliott, John Alexander (I110)
|
| 1756 | The Encyclopedia of Newfoundland and Labrador Purcell's Harbour: "Catches were sold to a local merchant, John Anstey, agent for the Duder firm at Twillingate". | Anstey, John (I454)
|
| 1757 | The fact that he was baptized on the same day that he was born indicates he may have died in infancy. | Forward, Wilfred (I1758)
|
| 1758 | The first woman to enter the Newfoundland political arena. Helena Strong was born on Little Bay Islands in 1879. She also became the wife of Newfoundland Prime Minister, Sir Richard Squires. Lady Squires was elected to Parliament, and eventually defeated in the 1932 election. Later, Lady Squires helped Joseph R. Smallwood in his campaign for Confederation. | Strong, Helena (I3773)
|
| 1759 | The following was taken from the book "Snowshoe & Lancet Memoirs of a Frontier Newfoundland Doctor 1937-1948" by Robert Skidmore Ecke, M.D. November 27, 1940 After tea I sat in Mr. Earl's room. He is dying of cancer of the rectum but doesn't seem annoyed. He is only a year older than I am. He told me how lovely it was up around his home in New Bay, and how big the trees are. December 1, 1940 ............... This morning I planned a hunting and exploring trip with Mr. Earl as my guide, for next February; he is to bring his dog teams - all he wants is his food and tobacco which I will supply. It would be fun. I like him. I only wish he was going to live more than a week. December 4, 1940 ...............I sat with Mr. Earl while he died tonight. He just made a few faces, reached deeply for a breath or two, lifted his hand convulsively and joined his fathers. This passing never fails to be impressive. There are many manners of departure. In some the line is not sensible - in others it is like jumping a fence. | Earle, Howard William (I1283)
|
| 1760 | The headstone of Emma Jane Strong is on Three Arms island. | Strong, Emma Jane (I662)
|

|
| 1764 | The home of Bertha and her husband (Harry Ackland) was the destination of Bertha Booth when she visited Ottawa, and where she met her future husband, John McDermid. Source of birthday very difficult to read. Handwritten on the flyleaf of an old bible. At the time of her death, she lived at 597 O'Connor St. and was widowed. Age 72years 9 months. This would indicate she was born in 1877, not 1875. Source: Ancestry.com. Ottawa, Canada, Beechwood Cemetery Registers, 1873-1990 [database on-line]. Provo, UT, USA: Ancestry.com Operations, Inc., 2011. Original data: Beechwood Cemetery Interments, 1873 | Hyde, Bertha (I47)
|
| 1765 | The initial "W" comes from the death certificate of his daughter Florence. Thomas was building new house. He walked out. Left all children and everything. Birth date comes from the entry for his marriage to Sarah Holstead. Canada, Marriages, 1661-1949," index, entry for marriage of Thomas Hyde and Sarah Holstead, 08 Sep 1869; citing Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, reference 2:3K5NC99; FHL microfilm 1030062. However 1851 Census says he was 13 at that time, which would put his birthdate at abt 1838. | Hyde, Thomas W. (I34)
|
| 1766 | The marriage record stated "Bride's Mother Nee Elizabeth Wilcox" From Marriage Data - Bonivista Area: "1806 23(d) Married William Son of Benj(a) & Cath(e) Higden of Eng(h) Harb(r) & Mary Dau(r) of the late Charles Newhook by His wife Elizabeth, now Wilson.". | Family: William Higdon / Mary Newhook (F74)
|
| 1767 | The marrige record of their Jane Susannah Ferrier shows her parents' names as John and Margaret. It is my only source for that name. Seems reliable, but have found more reliable sources that show her name was probably Susannah Lawson. These are supported by a person durendal on Ancestry.com. (Name Natalie) | Lawson, Susannah (I647)
|
| 1768 | The mother's name was given as Ethel. This is likely to be an error. | Butcher, Daisy Elizabeth (I1130)
|
| 1769 | The notation on the birth registration record says that he is the fourth son. 1871 Census Shows his family living in Victoria ward, Ottawa, Ont. Leander, Age 30 Julia, age 22 Walter, son, age 2 1881 Census shows family living in Wellington Ward. Leander Booth | Booth, Leander (I152)

|
| 1772 | The only source that shows Margaret as daughter of John T and Mary, is D. Hogge. | Taylor, Margaret (I1268)
|
| 1773 | The PANL church record of their marriage: "George Strong, bachelor, fisherman, Twillingate, married Louisa Struckless, widow, Twillingate, Oct. 24, 1859 by Rev. Thomas Harris. Witnessed by Mark Ridout, Alfred Ridout." | Family: George Strong / Louisa Stuckless (F199)
|
| 1774 | The register of Protestant Marriages in Bedford, Quebec 1804-1879 lists a David Booth marrying Lois Ellanor Martin on 29 Oct 1878. He was son of William R Booth and Betsey Emily Beebe. Register of births and baptisms of Shefford County, Quebec, lists a daughter Emma born in Abbotsford, Quebec to Wm Rowley Booth and Betsey Beebe on 20 Oct 1865, christened 11 Feb 1866. | Booth, William Rowley (I586)
|
| 1775 | The register of Protestant marriages in the District of Bedford, Quebec 1804-1879 says he was the 2nd son of John Boothe and Eleanor Rooney (Rawley?) Moved to Ottawa Valley in 1854. He and his wife operated a single splitter and sold them roadside by night. In 1858 he obtained the contract to supply the wood for the Parliament Buildings. By 1900 he employed 1500 men in his sawmills. He evenutally built and operated three railways, managed a fleet of steamboats, and held the largest volume of timber rights in the British Empire. There is no definitive biography on Booth, partly because he did not leave much of a paper trail, and many of his records were burned on his death at his request. The Algerian Embassy in Canada is located in the Fleck/Paterson House in the Sandy Hill neighbourhood of Ottawa. It is located at 500 Wilbrod Street. The house was built in between 1901 and 1903 by Ottawa lumber baron J.R. Booth who built it for his daughter Gertrude and her husband Andrew Fleck. "First time Aunt I. saw him, he was m ud to the knees. Worked with the men. Little short man. last time she saw him he was sick. Large room. Nursemaid. Way over in corner. He wore red night cap. Looked like Santa C. The register of Protestant Marriages in BEdford, Quebec 1804-1879 mentions a Charlotte Booth marrying Samuel Hendson McElroy on 12 Oct 1857. Birth marriage for both. It says she was the daughter of John Booth, the 1st. | Booth, John Rudolphus (I69)
|
| 1776 | The source document at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~downeast/7TAY.htm says that the source of her birth data was CENS. Obviously died at birth. But how could she have been in the census? | Taylor, Mary (I233)
|
| 1777 | The Twillingate Sun, October 26, 1883, lists their marriage: "At the same place, on the same day, by the same [At Little Harbor, on the 22nd Oct., by Rev. F. R. Duffill] Mr. Peter Anstey, to Miss Rosanna James, both of Purcell's Harbor." | Family: Peter Anstey / Rosanna Jeans (F154)

|
| 1779 | Their marriage record (PANL 89A) says they were both from Purcell's Harbour and were married at Twillingate John H. Strong : "I can remember visiting Andrew and Elizabeth Anstey at Purcell's Harbour with my mother when I was very young. Andrew was blind at that time and I can remember leading him around by the hand. He had been a skilled craftsman and I have seen spinning wheels he made. He also made the pews for the United Church (then Methodist) at Little Harbour, where he was a very active member. ... After Andrew died she went to live with her brother, Arthur." Their tombstone in the United Church Cemetary at Little Harbour says: "In Loving Memory of Andrew Anstey Born August 18, 1853, Died March 25, 1939 and Elizabeth Anstey Born September 11, 1855, Died June 18, 1951 Precious ones from us have gone Voices we have heard are still Their places vacant in our home That never can be filled" | Anstey, Andrew (I480)

|
| 1784 | There is a recordd of twins (boy and girl) being born 26 Sept 1907, but dying at birth at Parry Sound. Not sure if this is the same family. | Fetterly, Andrew Milton (I286)
|
| 1785 | There is another George Hayward Taylor, son of Richard Hayward Taylor and Mary Penney, who was born in the same year but different death date, according to source D. Hogge. | Taylor, George Hayward (I1324)
|
| 1786 | There is confusion about Ralph's year of birth (1860, 1864, 1868, 1869 or 1870). I'll use the date on his headstone. C.W. Strong's Memoirs: "My father, Ralph Frederick William Strong, was born at Twillingate, Newfoundland, into a family of three sons and three daughters. His father earned his living as a cooper. ... One brother left home young, headed West, and was never heard of again. One sister married a man named White of Twillingate, where she settled down. ... Another sister, Fannie, married a man named LeDrew. ... The third sister married a man named Lethbridge and lived at an outport of the same name in Bonivista Bay." Ralph's will can be found in Volume 13, Folio 450 of the Supreme Court probate records. Ralph and Martha's headstone at General Protestant Cemetary, St. John's, sent to me by Christine Cook Ralph Fredrick Strong, age 33 years, arrived at Ellis Island, NY on November 22, 1904 aboard the Silvia from Saint John's, Newfoundland. Married but traveling alone, he was listed on the manifest as a U.S. Citizen, with an occupation of Lumberman. R. W. Strong, age 34 years, arrived at Ellis Island, NY on June 29, 1905 aboard the Silvia from Saint John's, Newfoundland. Listed as single and traveling alone, his nationality was Newfoundlander and race was English. Ralph F. W. (age 45y 6m), Rolend [sic] M. (age 35y 1m), Cyril W. (age 3y 11m), and Nada Alice (age 2m) arrived at Ellis Island, NY on July 18, 1916 aboard the Saxonia from Liverpool. Ralph Strong, age 46 years, arrived at Ellis Island, NY on February 5, 1919 aboard the Prospero from Saint John's, Newfoundland. He was born in Twillingate, Newfoundland. He traveled alone on his way to London. | Strong, Ralph Frederic William (I669)
|
| 1787 | There is no listing for a Harriet Hyde living with parents at any time. Unsure now as to who named her as a daughter for Mason and Mary. A Harriet Hyde, died 1909 in Nepean,age 70. Her father was Leonard and her mother was Polly Prentiss. A Harriet Hyde, age 22, est. birth 1839 was living in Nepean, alone, at the time of the 1861 Census. Likely the daughter of Leonard. | Hyde, Harriet (I44)
|
| 1788 | There is some confusion about the name of the first Strong family member to arrive in Newfoundland. He could have been George or William. Or he could have been either George William Strong or William George Strong. According to the notes of John Burge Wells (b. May 24, 1868), "George Strong and a Mr. Wells came to Newfoundland from Ringwood, Hampshire, England in 1793 and settled in Back Harbour, Twillingate". The Hampshire Record Office (HRO) lists three George Strongs, one born in 1764, one in 1780, and one in 1783. The HRO has no records for William (between 1770 and 1810) in their Parish Registers or names index. Queen Milley's notes say his name was George and that he was married three times. I don't know her source for the name George or for the claim of three marriages. She may have relied on John Wells' notes or, perhaps, the three groups of children listed in the Strong Family Bible (which is actually a Concordance). William Strong, buried May 28 1866 Twillingate age 76 yrs (bc 1790). Twillingate Methodist Parish records. | Strong, William (George) (I591)
|
| 1789 | There is some doubt about place of birth. Philip and Virtue Wiseman lived in Tizzards Harbour during the early 1800's. They had a daughter, Hannah Wiseman, who married William Anstey. The Wisemans' and Ansteys' later relocated to the Little Bay Islands area. 1836 Census for Tizzards Hr lists Philip Wiseman as head of a family of 10 people: 4 males under 14 years of age 2 males between 14 and 60 3 females under 14 years of age 1 female between 14 and 60. This would seem to indicate that they had eight children or 7 children and a boarder or a parent of one of the spouses. Source: http://ngb.chebucto.org/Parish/twgate1816.shtml By 1811 there were seven fishing rooms, one of which belonged to Philip Wiseman. Source: http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/NFLD-LAB/1999-01/0917108963 | Wiseman, Philip (I307)
|
| 1790 | There is some doubt about place of birth. | Virtue (I308)
|
| 1791 | There is some evidence that an illigitimate child was born on Mar 27, 1871 that may be Sarah's child) There are many Sarah's so was difficult to make this one out except to maybe look at the sponsors of births or baptisms of this infant.- Ethel Dessert Entries in the register of Protestant Marriages in the District of Bedford, Quebec: Sarah Booth of Shefford m. 19 Jun 1871 William H. Nosgrove Sarah J Booth of Twp of Brome m. 26 Nov 1860 George D. Hayes Sarah Jane Booth of Twp of Brome m. 1 Feb 1875 Levis Denis | Booth, Sarah Ann (I161)
|
| 1792 | There may have been four other children: Triffie, Susie, Alphaeus and Jessie. I find no suppoirting evidence for a Samuel. Source: http://www.angelfire.com/folk/danrob1000/4nov03/d55.htm | Barbour, Benjamin (I3139)
