• Notes

  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"
