Hello Lesley Ward
My name is Lorne Harris, and I also live in British Columbia. My mother's maiden name was Lydia Cummings. She was born in Whales Brook (now named Brownsdale) Trinity Bay. Her parents were John and Eliza Ann (Armstrong) Cummings. My mother always spelled Cummings without the 'g' (Cummins). Lydia married John Harris (my father) of Russell's Cove (now named New Melbourne) Trinity Bay
. They moved to Montreal (where I was born) in 1922. Please contact me and we can exchange information on the Cummings/Cummins family.
Lorne.
