• Notes

  Born March 1, 1868 at Burnt Head, Cupids her mother died when she was 10. Her age at death was 72 yrs 5 months would yields a birth date of Feb 1869 instead. She came to stay with her daughter, Blanche Rowsell, in 1934. She was bedridden much of that time and died in July 1941. Her headstone says: Mary Anstey 1867-1941. Buried in Corner Brook. In a letter dated Jan 1, 1941 to his future wife, Ruby, Reg Rowsell writes: "My grandmother, mother's mother, was a Taylor, too. She came from somewhere around Carbonear, but what her people's first names were I cannot say (I mean, I don't know)." From Reginald Rowsell's diary for July 30, 1941 Springdale This morning I received the following telegram forwarded from Little Bay Islands. "Mother died this morning 4 a.m. Being buried here Wednesday afternoon." This telegram was from his Mother Blanche. Headstone on Stonepics is probably hers: NF091 : CNB03 ANSTEY, Mary (1941) - 1 photo A Birthday Book entry by RN Rowsell for her says her birthday is 1867. RNR places her death date at July 29, 1941 and in one place says she was born 1 Mar 1868
