Alice may have come from Flower's Cove, St. Barbe and married Joseph House of Bellburns ca 1894. Would like to know who her parents were.

Hi

Here is Alice's marriage record, which says she was the daughter of William Russell.

Nov 22 1894 Joseph House, 23, bach, fish, Belburns, s/o William House &
Alice Russell, 21, spin, Belburns, d/o William Russell. At the
residence of Levi House, Belburns, ANG. W: William Perry,
Eliza House.

She died May 5 1904 age 29 of "brain disease" age 31 years. Joseph House was
born May 1 1871 Meadows, the son of William House & Eliza Blanchard.

Gill,

Thanks for the reply. A question about Alice's death. According to data I collected from what I believed to be her gravestone in Bellburns, gives her age at 29. Also of interest is this from Newton B. Morgan, Them Days 16(2):50-54, 1991: William Russell with 6 dependants recorded at St. Francis Harbour and a James Russell, a John Russell and a Edward Russell at Battle Harbour, Labrador during the winter of 1863-64 by Rev. George Hutchinson, Anglican Church, Battle Harbour. I am wondering if Alice is connected with these people.
