Marriage Events

• Minister/Priest: Walter Pine, 20 Nov 1785, St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. 220119:

I believe that this marriage was celebrated at the Anglican Cathedral and not in Torbay. According to informaiton online, although the burials in the Old St. Nicholas Cemetery in Torbay date back to 1674, it was not until July 10, 1827 that Bishop Inglis from Nova Scotia consecrated the cemetery and the church. It is not stated when the church itself was constructed but evidence exists for other outport Anglican churches that they were built in haste to be consecrated by the bishop from Nova Scotia during one of several visits in the late 1820s and early 1830s. It is unlikely therefore that there was a church in Torbay as early as 1785.

Notes

General:

Email from Edwin Goss 011001:

"More broadly, Samuel Goss & Elizabeth Martin (the parents of Samuel who married Ellen Power) had seven sons. Five apparently married R.C. girls. Probably all ultimately converted but, whether or not, their childrenwere all raised R.C. One of the remaining two sons had only female children. This family was central to the ancestry of the Torbay Gosses and the conversion from Anglican to R.C.

Mary Hannah's admonition to her children sounds like she was a very strong willed lady. Perhaps a bit like her great grandmother Elizabeth Martin who seems to have been very determined to keep her sons from leaving the Anglican Church -- but her efforts mostly failed."

090413:

From 1929 until 1932 there are a succession of crew manifests on various vessels sailing between the UK and USA that list an Eric Martin as a Clerk, Wheteher this is the same person is not known but, since that is what he listed as his profession on immigrating in 1925 it seems a good possibility.
