1. Occupation: Farmer. 424

2. Alt. Birth, 22 Feb 1818, Calvert, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. 425 This date is out by one day compared to the date given on the NGB website, based on the Vital Statistics transcript of the Anglican Cathedral Register (23 Feb 1818). I really don't know for sure which date is correct because I don't know what source Aunt Jean was using and cannot consult the Anglican Cathedral register itself (the church refuses to allow such examinations).

5. Property: Full Description of the Holdsworth Property, 5 Dec 1837, St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. 427 Note that a part of this property was originally the Plantation of a man named John Robins but was sold to Robert Holdsworth on April 13, 1765. The relevant indenture is attached and enclosed in the Media Items folder. It was found in July 2018 at The Rooms in the "Special Items Collection: MG 956 R33 C 1 Robert Holdsworth purchase of John Robins Plantation Ferryland 13 August 1765
This event was shared with Peter Paint LE MESSURIER.

7. Court: Morry and Norris sue Thomas Condon for non-payment of cost of bait, Jan 1847, Ferryland, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. 429 Ferryland Court records examined by Kevin Reddigan. He believes the two people suing Condon were John Henry Morry (representing Morry & Co.) and their sometime partner, Thomas Norris

12. Property: Indenture between John Henry Morry & Peter Paint Le Messurier and Ann Coulman-Winsor, 16 May 1853 to 28 Oct 1862, Ferryland, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. 431 Note that the transfer actually occurred more than a decade before the Indenture was written and recorded with the Southern District Court. This would seem to imply that the initial deal, which apparently occurred without legal formality, may not have been abided by and the Indenture was therefore needed to secure the assets for Ann Winsor. This event was shared from Ann COULMAN who also shared it with Peter Paint LE MESSURIER (Witness).
