Notes

General:

25 May 1914 Email from Jean Carter Stirling:

I have copies of letter exchanges in the 1870's where Sarah Carter (widow, living in a St. John's boarding house not far from her son Robert) speaks of James and his wife (married 1874) Catherine Johnstone of New Brunswick, a widow with grown children, two married. She owns a farm, and they are living there.

Jean Carter Stirling's Family Tree Notes:

Catherine is described in a letter her mother-in-law Sarah Carter wrot e
from St. John's, Mar 10, 1877 to Ada (nee Rendell) Durrant: "I suppos e you
have heard that your cousin Jas. Carter is married. He married a Widd ow Lady
in New Brunswick where he has been living some time. She has a larg e beautiful
farm in the country of her own where they live in winter about six mil es from
the City. She is a fine woman, a little younger than himself she wa s married
young the first time and has a family. The eldest son and daughter ar e both
married and comfortably settled, and the others growing up. Kenneth(Mc Lea) went
to see them when he went back. They have ten cows and a great number o f sheep."

Marriage Notes 



301216:

In an article entitled "The Newfoundland Connection to a Nobel Laureate" by James P. Feehan in the Newfoundland Advocate, Vol. 109 # 3 2016/2017, it is mooted that, whilst the marriage took place in Poole, there is reason to suspect that both the husband and wife were born in Newfoundland. This seems to be strictly speculative and is not in accord with other evidence. The speculation is based on the fact that John's father was based in St. John's at about the time of John's birth as the surgeon to the St. John's Garrison and Mary had a connection to Newfoundland because the Joliffe family was involved in the fishery there.

       Children:
                1. Ann Joliffe Broom
                2. Christopher Joliffe Broom
