Hi,
It's Rowyn again............
I think I have found the parents of Henry Carew
(Head of family #164 Witless Bay census 1921).
This information came from the new Witless Bay School Project,
(One hundred thousand thank-yousssssss !!!!!)
I have just finished checking the CAREW births .....and there is one
Henry, born Aug 22/ 1875 (only 1 year out by the census taker's math)
parents Benjamin Carey and Elizabeth Driscoll
****** This couple was previously documented under the name CAREW
for the registration of their daughter Lucy born May 30/1873.
Was there a new priest/minister to the area who started registering the
spelling change for this name ? It appears that this is not the only Carew couple
to have children under Carew and then in later years the surname was changed
to Carey.
Please and Thanks,
any thoughts on this .....Rowyn McLean rowyn(a)sprint.ca
