Mary Ann Anthony, born Apr. 18,1876, died in Labrador, married a John Charles Davis. I am trying to find who were her parents. Family history says she came from around Cupids/Bay Roberts area, Newfoundland. She was a illegitimate child. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
There were many illegitimate births and many with same names but you may get some sense out of this:
Check out the Baptisms (very confusing as it is!) of Elizabeth, Mary, Margaret, Eliza, John Anthony listed with "Parents" Abraham Anthony and Frances(Fannie), the widow Aspell. These children could have been "adopted" by Abraham when he married this Widow Aspell who was probably pregnant when her Aspell husband drowned and was never found. She gave birth one month after she married Abraham. You will find this by searching Abraham Anthony on this site.
