British ancestor listed as born Newfoundland
Hi, this is a wild stab in the dark, but I'm looking for any information about my 3rd Great Grandfather John Mckenzie

John Mckenzie was a gunner in the Royal Horse Artillery between 1798 and 1827, including serving at Waterloo in 1815.

I can find John in the UK Census Returns for 1841-1871 in Pontefract Yorkshire, and is listed as born circa 1786 in Newfoundland.

I suspect John, whilst born in Newfoundland, would not have been on true Newfoundland origins, but...

Elizabeth (White) CAREEN of St. Bride's and Point Lance
I believe Elizabeth WHITE was born in St. Bride's about 1915 She married James CAREEN of Point Lance and I am fairly sure they lived there. James was born about 1893 so he was at least 20 years older than Elizabeth.
I am requesting further information and contact regarding Elizabeth WHITE's parentage. Who was her father? Who was her mother?
Also any information regarding Elizabeth (White) CAREEN's death. When did she die? What was the cause of death? Where is she buried?

Info on Sarah Bishop married to Alfred Osmond?
Looking for information on Sarah Bishop who married Alfred Osmond in Greenspond Nov. 6 1867, then moved to Lethbridge area.

Wondering if there is any information on her family that might have lived n Badger at the time. I do not know who her parents are. Everyone points me to Edward Churnside Bishop's daughter Sarah; but she isn't the correct one. That...

How Were Voters Lists Compiled?
I wonder if anyone knows how voters lists (specifically, Carbonear, 19th century) were compiled. If a man met age and residence requirements, was he required to register, or was it more like a census, where an interviewer was dispatched?
Thanks,
Stephen

HARTRY (HARTERY) from Harbour Grace / Portugal Cove
Hi all! My maternal 3x great-gf (John HARTY / HARTERY) was born c Dec 1853, Harbour Grace (possibly Portugal Cove, South) and died in May 1895, Halifax, NS.
