William Henry Morry SWEETLAND
- Born: 19 Nov 1810, St. Saviour's, Dartmouth, Devon, England 454,861
- Christened: Jan 1811, St. Saviour's, Dartmouth, Devon, England 454
- Died: 26 Sep 1857, Sylhet, Bangladesh aged 46 111
 Noted events in his life were:
1. Alt. Birth, 19 Nov 1811, St. Saviour's, Dartmouth, Devon, England. 47
2. Alt. Christening, After 19 Nov 1811, St. Saviour's, Dartmouth, Devon, England.
3. Residence, 5 Oct 1834, Ferryland, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. 118
4. Residence: Boarded and Lodged on Southside, After 12 Dec 1834, Ferryland, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. 118 Friday, 12 December 1834
"William Sweetland Jr. came to board and lodge at Southside." This is curious because his father and his uncle, Benjamin, were apparently both in Caplin Bay in a very large family house. So why was William Jr. Boarding and Lodging in Ferryland and with whom? I have always heard there was tension as a result of William Sr. essentially abandoning his family after their mother, Priscilla Ann Morry died. Perhaps this is one result of that tension. But it also raises the question, what was William Jr. doing to support himself at this time.
