Newfoundland's Grand Banks Message Board

Hello,
I'm looking for information on Joseph William Rixon and his parents. He was born in 1877, married Louisa Alice Sparkes in 1913, and died in 1953. I've found him in the 1935 census in Lower Island Cove, but I'm having trouble finding anything before that, which might help me with his parents. Any help is appreciated.

Thank you.

I don't have much information ... I'm trying to get my own side of the family together before the wifes ... but from what we know thus far:

Joseph William Rixon (Sep 1877) - married Louise Sparkes and their children are:
(a) Arthur (12-Mar-1919 - 18-Nov-2004) Married Marion Elsie Sparkes (23-Nov-1925 - still living) [ This is my wifes (Kim Galway (Rixon)) grandparents ]
(b) John (1913)
(c) Charlie (1914)
(d) Nellie (1916)
(e) Eva (1918)
(f) Florence B. - Married Ralph Wheeler

Joseph's Parents were William Rixon/Ricksford - whom I've been told came from England and the mother is Elizabeth Bursey.

William / Elizabeth had children Joseph WIlliam, Samuel and Eva

Much of my information is from Arthur (Joseph's Son), Arthur's Wife, and his son (the father-in-law).I haven't had the opportunity to validate the information - but it might give you some tidbits you can work with.
