My 3 x great grandparents are Robert Joseph Alsop (1814-1871) and Ellen Whiten (married 11 June 1851) witnessed by "Mary Ann Whitten” in the St. John the Baptist RC Church.
http://sites.rootsweb.com/~cannf/as_mar ... 841-55.htmAn entry for the baptism register for 1860-69 for Peter Whitten and Anna Louisa CHAFE (nee BRINE)'s child (James Alfred, born Aug 27 1863) shows that the couple were married in 1862, and that “Peter Whitten was b 1837 Petty Hr, the son of George WHITTEn & Mary Ann CHAFE. Anna Louisa Brine was from Trinity, the dau(ghter) of John Brine”.
http://ngb.chebucto.org/Vstats/pre-1891 ... -sjc.shtmlI am assuming that Peter Whitten (born in 1837) and Ellen Whitten (born about 1828) were brother and sister, and that their parents were George Whitten and Mary (Ann) Chafe.
Under "MARRIAGES 1824-1891”
http://ngb.chebucto.org/Vstats/vs-31-sj ... y-hr.shtml the first few entries show:
- Nov 22 1824, Henry Chafe marrying Mary Ann Chafe
- May 24 1828, George WITTEN (WHITTEN?) marrying Mary Chafe
The register of Baptisms for Pre-1891 Registration, Volume 26A, Anglican Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, St. John’s, 1848 - 1852
http://ngb.chebucto.org/Vstats/pre-1891 ... -sjc.shtmlhas the following note:
- June 6 1850, St. Johns, WHITTEN, George & Mary, Jane, July 7 1850, fisherman, CHAFE, "George Whitten & Mary Ann Chafe were md May 24 1828 Petty Hr ANG. Jane Whitten md 1872 to John Cornick of Bridport, Dorset."
My question is:
I assume WITTEN should be WHITTEN, but I am not sure if George married "Mary Ann" Chafe or "Mary" Chafe?
