Hi:

My grandfather's name is Manuel Hillier (1874) from Lamaline & his wife's (2nd wife) name was Jane Buffett (1883).
She is my grandmother.
I suspect they were married around 1912.
I can't find any history on Jane Buffett except for the census .
Who were her parents and siblings ?
Any ideas ?

Thanks
David T. Hillier

Hi
I am not related but I came across some info for you.

Emmanuel Hillier b. abt 1875 Lamaline married Jane Buffett born May 22, 1883 in Fortune, NL. married on August 31, 1906 in Lamaline.

Witness to Marriage: Edgar Hillier, Alice Hillier
Marriage performed by: Adjt. Sparks
Groom's religion: SA
Bride's religion: SA
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jane Buffett's parents are Aaron Buffett and Jane Maria Thornhill.

You will find Jane's parents and brothers Ezra and John on the 1921 census of Fortune, Burin, NL.
Some of Jane's siblings were...
Ezra Buffett
William Bennett Buffett
John Wilson Buffett

Hope this helps
John

On this website you will find the 1921 census I mentioned in my previous reply.

The marriage record and birth record of Jane Buffett you will find on the FamilySearch.org website.

Hope this link works below for the birth/baptism for Jane
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/T ... ,144958602

If it does not work go to the website and look under Newfoundland, Vital Statistics, 1753-1893
Burin Fortune (Methodist) Birth 1851-1891, Vol. 105 Image 12.

Also on this website under Vital Statistics you will find Jane Buffett and others at
http://ngb.chebucto.org/Vstats/pre-1891 ... urin.shtml

The marriage is at link below...
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/T ... :144889901

If it does not work go to the website and lookup
Newfoundland, Vital Records, 1840-1949 Marriages 1905-1909, Volume 05 Image 111

Hope this helps.
John

Your welcome.

Forgot to mention there is a website for Western Newfoundland where you
can get some more info especially on the Buffett family.

Hey there, I think we may be related. My Grandmother was a Grand Bank Hillier who moved there from Brunette Island in 1951. If your family did this as well, let me know, I've been trying to find information on that side of the family.


-Thanks

Hi There

My grandfather Hillier moved to Fortune around 1914 and then previous to that they came from Lamaline/Point Aux Gaul.
I am sure we are distant relatives.
Good hunting.
