Looking for Mary Ann Anderson, a servant of Burgeo, who gave birth to Edward Anderson on March 16, 1890, baptized Mar12, 1890 as “illegimate”. Edward was raised by “Aunt” Johanna Anderson/Rose/Billard. Family history says Mary Ann later married. I’m looking for information on her ancestors and descendents.

On familysearch.org they have a Mary Ann Anderson marrying Meshach Meade on Aug 4, 1891 in Burgeo. His age is listed as 24 and her age is 22. This site also shows several children for them when you search for Meshach/Mesach Meade. You have to register and sign in to use the site, and search by area (Newfoundland) is useful.
The same site also has a Mary Ann Anderson born May 22, 1870 to Robert Anderson and Catherine in Lower Burgeo.
I'm not sure if this is the same Mary Ann you are looking for but perhaps you can explore that.

Check the court records for an investigation into the circumstances for the child's birth. The father would be required to contribute to the support of the child. The government began systematic inquests into illegitimate births starting about 1877.

Dear Cameha2, Thanks so much for the information about Mary Ann Anderson. How do we know for sure this is the same Mary Ann who gave birth to Edward and then married Meshack MEADE? Do you have records or family history from the MEADE family? Do you know the father of James and /orEdward Anderson? Are you related to the Anderson and/or Meade family. I have trying to find my Anderson ancestors for many years.
Best Regards,
Edward Hartigan , grandson of Edward Anderson

This is the information I have, you can never be sure with the Newfoundland records online because they are only transcripts and do not contain all the information that the originals had. If you are on Facebook go to the private group "Meade Family History" ask to join and then ask them for any information they have.

The Meade Family History page on Facebook was very helpful. Lots of information about Meshack Meade and Mary Ann Anderson’s family. May all be siblings to my Grandfather Anderson. Edward moved to Rencontre East Fortune Bay at age 12 in 1902 to live with “Uncle” Tom Vallis and Madeline Margaret (nee Keeping). Edward married Susan Keeping on January 17, 1911. Their children Hazel 1912, George 1915, Mary Ann 1917 (my Mother) and John Rose 1920. Edward died August 1953.
Any added information about my Great grandmother Mary Ann Anderson and her life story would be very helpful.

Additional information on Mary Ann Anderson in hopes of finding her descendants. A Mary Ann Anderson as unwed mother gave birth to two more children in addition to my Grandfather Edward on March 16, 1890. The children were in 1889 James William Anderson baptized Jan 20, 1889 and in 1893William Henry Anderson born Nov. 1893.
So a single Mary Ann Anderson had three children. Was this the same Mary Ann Anderson? Does anyone have more information to add to this story? I’m trying to find my Great Grandparent, the parents of Edward Anderson.
Thanks, Edward Hartigan grandson of Edward and great grandson of Mary Ann Anderson.
