Parish Churches on the Southern Shore
From Goulds to Cappahayden

Anglican - Goulds / Kilbride = St Paul's 709-368-3078…. The only church is St Pauls which now holds the records of both Presentation and St Matthews churches. Those were the two Anglican churches in the Goulds. They were replaced in the 1960s. The records there begin with B-1903, M-1904, D-1945 and there are a few records from the 1860s but they are very few, most were lost over the years from floods, fire, etc. ANGLICAN Parish RECORDS AT PANL (Public Archives of Newfoundland and Labrador) Petty Harbour Baptisms 1824-1946 Petty Hr.
