BAKER. I am researching the descendants of Mr. Birch Rix Baker (later reversed middle and last name to Birch Baker Rix), who was born about 1883 in Cape Wolfe, Lot 7, PEI, son of Josiah Baker and Melinda Josephine (Warren) Baker (who married, 2nd, William Wallace Young of Annapolis NS in 1899 in MA). He moved to New Brunswick and married in 1908 in Westmorland County, NB, Bessie May McNulty. Birch died in 1948 in Albert County, NB. I am trying to research his life, his wife's vitals and parentage, and their possible living desecendants, two daughter named Edith and Jean (whether they used Baker or Rix is unknown to me). I am happy to share whatever I have with fellow researchers. Thank you very much! Michael Meggison (30/1/2001)

BECKWITH. I'm interested in finding any knowledge on the family of my great-grandmother, Louisa Jane Beckwith born 1856 in Harvey Parish. First she married Capt.

BISHOP. I'd appreciate it very much if I could post my great-great grandparents marriage. I recently tracked down cousins in Ohio that had a huge cache of information from Lucy Downey's bible which also included a marriage certificate.
Certificate says: Mr. Mariner Bishop and Miss Lucy Downey were solomnly united by me in Holy Matrimony at Hopewell Cape on the 17th day of February in the year of Our Lord, One Thousand Eight Hundred and fifty five. Conformably to the Ordinance of God and the Laws of the Land. Witnesses, William Virgie and Charlotte Bishop.
Another marriage that also took place in Hopewell Cape, Albert Co., Canada was the marriage of Archibald Bishop, son of Mariner & Lucy, and Miss Sarah (Sadie) Sharp(e).
I'm really interested in finding other family members who may still be in New Brunswick, Canada. Jacquie Baral (USA, California) (25/7/2000)

BOYLE. My grandmother was Mary Bernice Boyle, born at Hopewell ( I think), in Albert County NB in 1886. Her father was James, her uncle was Dan Boyle. I have very little information about their lives in New Brunswick before they came to Alberta about the turn of the century. However, I came across a photo which may lend some help. It was taken in "Albert, Albert Co. N.B. June 5th 1905. A list of the women in the photo includes:
- Bessie Anderson ,
- Marion B. Atkinson,
- Lily Barbour,
- Mae B. Boyle ( my grandmother),
- Julie Downing, Sarah Hoar,
- Mary Lyons,
- Effie McLean,
- Estelle L. Murray,
- Flossie Perry,
- Aggie Smith,
- Belle Smith,
- Gertie Stiles,
- May Stiles.
It is not likely that any of them is still alive as they would be over 100 years of age (not impossible!), but if any of the names leads to family still alive who have some knowledge of the Boyles and their friends, it would be very nice to have. Jack Sandgathe (29/3/1999)

BRODIE I I am tracing my Brodie ancestors in Canada. My first Brodie was Edward who came from Scotland, and married Emily Davis in the early 1800's. My great great grandfather was their son Colon Campbell Brodie born about 1835 in Bayside Westmorland County I believe. I found he and his brother Stuart Brodie in an Emigrant Settlement in 1865-1868. He was called Campbell Brodie in the Hutchinson Directory. This Emigrant Settlement, I have been told is now Melrose. I am from USA so am not too
familiar with Canada, though i am learning with my research.My first question to you would be:
1)How do I find out if my first Edward Brodie were naturalized and where would I search for records for him? As well as a marriage record for he and Emily Davis?
2) How would I find a birth record or certificate for Colon Campbell Brodie born approx 1835?
3)What exactly was this Emigrant Settlement, and how can I find clues on why my ancestor was there?
4)How do I find a birth certificate for Colon Campbells son Colon Campbell Brodie Jr. born 1866?
I would appreciate any guidance you can be. We have found my Colon Campbell Brodie Sr. in an 1861 census with wife Margaret and son William in Westmorland Co, Westmorland Parish. We also found possible siblings of Colons living with Emily Davis Brodies brother and family in 1861 same place. In 1851 census for Botsford Parish we found Emily as Emily Braddie, living with two of her children. We also find other of her children living with her brother Stephen. Could you tell me where Botsford Parish is in relation to Westmorland Parish?
Thanks for any answers you may have for me. Sincerely Barb Brodie KinekeMy email is: Barb Brodie Kinek (24/11/02)

BUCKLEY. I have come across a character called Samuel BUCKLEY who was born in Albert or St John about 1856. His parents travelled to Albert from Middleton (Derbyshire, England), but then returned almost immediately to Middleton. The family appears in all 5 Censuses 1841-1891. Do you have any records of This BUCKLEY family at your end? Below is an e-mail I circulated round the Derbyshire Mailing List. One of the replies put me on your trail.
Best wishes,

Hello folk,
Can some kind Canadian soul help me with this Canadian place name puzzle and a strange re-immigration story???
Its the story of a Derbyshire man called Samuel BUCKLEY. Samuel's father William was a lead miner born in Wirksworth (Derbyshire), but in 1855 he emigrated to Canada with his wife Catherine (born in Middleton 1 mile away). Somewhere in Canada (maybe New Brunswick) they had their first child Samuel in 1856. But 2 years later the family was back in Middleton, where their next child Ann Elizabeth was born.
Why did the family come back to Derbyshire so quickly? Where in New Brunswick was young Samuel born? The only clue is a birth place name in the 1891 Census that I can't read and don't recognize. It looks to me like "Four? John? New Brunswick B.N.A [British North America?]". Can some knowledgeable Canadian work out what the handwriting says? I've scanned the entry and you can see it on
www.wirksworth.org.uk/query-2.htm Is there any lead in New Brunswick?
You can follow the story of the family by these entries from the Census 1841-1891. I feel there's a story here somewhere. Its not often that
you can follow a family through each of 5 Censuses, when they've been to the New World somewhere in between!
Best wishes,
John Palmer, Dorset, England
