Marriage Notes 




200806:

BDM reports that marriage notice appeared on 30 Jul 1889 in: 1) Gazette (Royal Newfoundland Gazette) 1807- 2) Times and General Commercial Gazette 1832-1895

"Married at Montreal, on the 11 ult., by the Right Rev. Bishop Usher,Edwin Carter, of St. John's, Nfld., to Alicia, fourth daughter of thelate Archibald Boardman, Esq., of County Fermanagh, Ireland."

I am assuming that this is the same Edwin Carter though there may have been others. Needs verification.


       Children:
                1. Mary Jane Carter
                2. Pearl Helen Olive Carter
Notes
General:
!BIRTH:NF Archives, St.John the Baptist,Vol 26A;
one of three youngest children born after family
moved to St. John's;

!DEATH: gravestone, Old Anglican Cemetery --In memory of
Edwin S. Carter died May 28th 1932, aged 66 years.Until the
day break and the shadows flee away.

Edwin is thought to have had a family in a common-law arrangement
so it is difficult to trace. She was Roman Catholic, and perhaps the
children are recorded in her name.
Possibly these entries (from the Mormon Registry) form this connection :
Edwin Carter and Mahilia Jane Ruby
Born: 23 May,1905,St. John's - CHARLES FREDERICK CARTER

120315:

On 5 Nov. 1935, Margaret Baird arrived in Liverpool on the NOVA SCOTIA from St. John's. It is not clear whether she was intending to immigrate or simply paying a visit to relatives. The address she gave as her desitnation was 48 Hallswelle Rd., London SW 11 and she indicated that her intention was to settle "elsewhere in the British Empire". That sounds to me what they would say if they were only visiting Britain and intended to return home to Newfoundland eventually.

Other passengers on board with whom she would have been familiar included Annie Jessie Elny [Baird] Carter, her mother, Gertrude Bailey Carter her unmarried sister, Sydney Anne [Jones] Carter, her sister in law and Peter Terrington Carter, her nephew. Her mother and sister were going to stay at the meyrick Court Hotel in Bournemouth, her sister in law and nephew were to stay at "Glantraeth", Bodorgan, Anglesey whilst her mother and sister indicated they too intended to settle somewhere else in the British Empire (presumably Newfoundland). The latter two indicated that Wales was their intended future home. So they were all on different missions it seems.

On the 5th of June 1930, Annie Jessie Elny [Baird] Carter and her unmarried daughter, Elizabeth Gertrude Bailey Carter, are shown returning from Liverpool to St. John's on the NEWFOUNDLAND. Last place of permanent residence -- Longham Hotel and Portland Hotel, London; future permanent residence -- Newfoundland.
