• Notes

  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.
