My Grandmother was Enda Barnes born 1917,died 2002 , her mother was Gertie Gidge born about 1886. Gertie married John Boyd in 1919 , who was a widower and had three or four children from his first marriage to Emma Watkins. Gertie had two children before she married John and they had two more after they married.I am looking for any information about her,her birth date ,her parents.

Hello,
Could this be your Great Grandmother...District of Twillingate, Methodist parish of Twillingate...Gertrude Annie born Nov. 18, 1886 to Thomas and Emma Gidge of Durrels Arm. Baptized Nov. 20, 1886
Here is the link to that document found on familysearch.org. Line #5 on the page.

Gertie's parents ...Thomas Gidge and Emma Jenkins both of Durells Arm were married on Jan. 31, 1886.
Here is the link to that. They are couple #6 on the page.

Thomas and Emma also had a son Theodore Wm. born Aug. 21, 1889 and a son Obadiah born Sept. 9, 1891.
Thomas and Emma Gidge are on the 1921 census, district of Twillingate, Boyd's cove. His DOB is recorded as July 1856 and Emma's as Dec. 1854.

Hello,
I had thought that this might be the right person also but according to information I found it looks like Gertie Annie Gidge daughter of Thomas and Emma married Walter Boyd Feb 25, 1904.Walter died in 1906.She married James Wheeler June 20,1908 and they had at least 5 children.

The records suggest your John Boyde (Frederick John Boyde) was born at Tizzard's Harbour circa 1872, son of Simon Boyde.

And your Gertrude M. Gidge (c.1891-1940) was born at Salt Pans (Hillgrade).

Marriage record: "April 13, 1919, at Trump Island, Fred John Boyde, widower, of Trump Island, and Gertrude M. Gidge, widow, of Salt Pans, by Reverend G.L. Mercer, witnesses: Milley Gidge, Wm. Boyde."

They subsequently resided at Trump Island.

Hi Milt,
Yes, this information is correct as far as I can gather. I questioned my family about Gertie being a widow when she married John and they have no knowledge of her being married before. I can not find parents or a birth date for Gertie M. Gidge. Thanks.

I have found more information about my Gertie Gidge (Gedge).She had a brother John Gidge who married Minnie Lambert, and a sister Millie Gidge (Ings).

Her mother's name was Hannah and I believe her father was Thomas Gedge who married Hannah Chappell on Nov 1, 1886 in Twillingate. They had a child ( name unknown)on September 16,1891 and I think this might be Gertie.
