Newfoundland's Grand Banks Message Board

looking for info on my great grandparents Joseph H Duphney and Cecelia Young, I think they were from the port au port area. they had kids, lydia, trudy, cecial, bertha, ethel,madalaine,mary,leo,henry and willy.there was also some step kids as well. Joseph would have been born in about 1877. not sure about cecelia, but I found her on a 1935 port au port census living with William Abbott and family as a "Domestic". Really stumped as to who their parents were, seem to hit a roadblock. Anyone who knew of them or knows someone who knew etc. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I found on ANCESTRY.com
Canadian Immigration Service:
NOTES: J H DUPHENEY, age 46, bc 1877, arrived North Portal SK 1923,
last perm res Stephenville Nfld, born Nfld, Roman Catholic, destination
North Sydney. entering from US, writing hard to read

can't find a marriage online so far on Nfld Gen Web Roman Cath records but Joseph
must be a grandson (or possibly g-gson) of JEAN FREDERICK DAUPHINEE (born Sep 11 1791 North W Lunenberg NS - died Winterhouse, Port au Port) & MARIE ANNE LEJEUNE (aka Young), she bc 1794 & died Apr 8 1871 Port Au Port. I was told they married Dec 5 1820 sydney NS. This family left NS and moved to the Sandy Point area NL sometime after the 1830s or so Joseph may be a son of one of their following sons
(1) JOHN DAUPHINEE - married Aug 30 1851 Sandy Pt to Adele Gaudet. could be
a grandson of this John
(2) ISAAC DAUPHINEE born circa 1841 Port au Port NL - married Jul 26 1870 Sandy Pt
to Marie Plove
(3) ANGUS DAUPHINEE born ? - died Jan 1881. Married Nov 12 1868 Sandy Point
Anglican to Amelia Jane Picot.

Cecilia Young - her surname was likely originally LeJeune and was anglicized. This
would mean her ancestors were also from NS


If you can connect up to the Dauphinees above, I can bring you back to late 1680s
Jean Joseph Dauphinee bc 1685 Montbeliard, Alsace, France : Md Jul 23 1709 Longeville, Doubs, France, to Marguerite Certier (b Dec 28 1687 Montbeliard, France - died after 1728).
