NL GenWebKings Cove Roman CatholicMarriages Trinity District (1838-1842) The following is a list of marriages extracted from the KCRC parish records currently held at PANL for the District of Trinity Bay (1838-1842). Note that while the place of residence or origin for each marriage partner and attending witnesses is not explicitly specified, their connections to the Upper Trinity South regional district, notably the New Harbour-Tickle Harbour (later Bellevue)-Little Hearts Ease, can be confirmed through cross-referencing with parish register information for the same individuals in other related parish registers for the same time period. Reference to family names that could not be cross-referenced with known families associated with the Upper Trinity South region have been omitted for brevity, to be included in future genealogical research to other areas of Trinity Bay, notably the Trinity Bay North regional district.

Transcriber Notes: 1 Note the listing of several Warrens mentioned variously throughout the Lester Diaries for 1767-1795 residing and/or working out of Trinity-Old Perlycan [Perlican]-Dildo Island [New Harbour]-Tickle Harbour, attesting to the widespread migratory subsistence-settlement patterns of early Newfoundland settlers associated with the seasonal inshore coastal fishery. From this merchant diary it appears that the Warren family was connected to the Slade family, and had deep roots or connections to the Trinity Bay South area, perhaps as early as ca. 1740-1760. There is also a reference to an Edward Lynch residing at Tickle Harbour (ca. 1809), in the Slade Trinity ledgers [Source: Slade Paper Collection, Maritime History Archive, MUN, Accession #: 1.00]. It is known from unpublished Lynch family oral traditions that the founders of this line may have originated from the Trinity, Trinity Bay area, migrating from there to Tickle Harbour, ca. 1800 as sheepherders, planters, farmers, and fishermen, first settling on the Ridge of Tickle Harbour Broad, and then later to Tickle Harbour proper. It is not known if this Lynch line is of Irish extraction, or English extraction, as if reflecting (C)lench, or (C)linch. Future genealogical and/or archival research may provide valuable insights into the origins of this and other names from this area. 2 This Robert Leboe (sic.) may be a relative to the Newfoundland Mi'kmaw LeBow (or LeBauve) family, as noted in the Saint Pierre & Miquelon parish records. This is a rare family name in Newfoundland, which according to detailed research has become obsolete, either through patronym extinction or obsolescence, where a father fails to either have direct descendants to carry on the hereditary family name, a son takes the surname or patronym of the mother, or the family migrates from the area leaving no direct descendants. The family name LeBoe, as listed here, seems to be an obvious variant of LeBow, which is quite rare and marked in Newfoundland, as an Anglo-Irish patronym. This surname as it exists in its orthographic form may point to a possible French Acadien, or Mi'kmaq source. Note also that this family name also historically occurs at relatively frequency among the Mi'kmaq of Restigouche (L'stiku'j), Quebec, Prince Edward Island (Isle St. Jean), and the Miramichi area of New Brunswick, where it is attested in the various parish records and government documents as Lebeau, Leboah, Lebob(e), La Bague, La Boab, Labauve, Labaune, Labobo, Labouve, Labova, Labanne, and Labarre Source: Leavitt, Robert. 1998. Maliseet & Micmac Vital Statistics from New Brunswick Church Records. Micmac-Maliseet Institute, University of New Brunswick, Also online: http://collections.mun.ca/cdm4/document.php?CISOROOT= /Maliseet&CISOPTR=374 &REC=3 (MUN Digital Archives Initiative) According to Wetzel (2002:56), and information elicited from unpublished elder interviews with Alphonse Barrington Jr., NL Mi'kmaw elder of Badger's Brook, whose father originated from Piper's Hole-Black River, P.B., and husband of Laura Oliver (LeBow), the LeBow family of St. George's changed their name from LeBow to Oliver. Note also the baptism of a Stephen Labanne, son of Reuban Labanne [LeBow] & Susan Paul, in 1869, at Tilting Harbour, with sponsors Jn Liver [Oliver?] & Ellen Paul. John Hewson (1978:16) in eliciting information from Mattiyew (Matthew) Jeddore on the etymology or origin of Newfoundland Mi'kmaw place names or toponyms gave reference to Lapo'pek /lapo:p-ek/ (LaBauve-Locative) "lit. at/in/on Labauve [or at Labauve's (place)]", as an alternative Mi'kmaw variant of Pudops (sic.) Lake (Hermitage-Lapoile). Source: Hewson, John. 1978, Micmac Place Names in Newfoundland. In Regional Language Studies, No. 8, pp. 1-22. Memorial University of Newfoundland, Folklore and Language Archive, st. John's, NL. (Translation of: Pacifique, Rev. Pere, o.f.m.cap. 1935. Gtagmgog Sag Megoetjiteoagig [Ktaqmkuk. Ancient Red Indian Country/Land) Etudes historiques et geographiques. Restigouche, Que..) This Robert LeBow above may be related to the Catholic Bow(e) family of Cupids-Brigus, Port-de-Grave, with a known Indian connection reportedly from Labrador. There is a reference in the HGRC to the baptism of a Bow with a sponsor by name of Shenoonit (sic.), which appears to be of either Labrador Inuit or perhaps Innu origin. Coincidentally, in citing unpublished personal communication with renown NL Mi'kmaw genealogist Pilip Jeddore, derived from notes on the John family, there is reference to an Indian family by name of John [Baptista] that came down from Labrador on a schooner in 1819 with Capt. Bartlett and got off at Port de Grave [Conception Bay] (P. We'jitu, personal communication, 2006), pointing to a possible connection of the John family to another Mi'kmaq-Montagnais family in the area, currently unknown or lost in the records. Postscript: Note that criteria to include and/or exclude certain families from this list are based on reference to such families collated from population censuses, electoral voters lists, parish registers / church records, historical records, community oral tradition (folklore), and place name (toponym) nomenclature, derived from a traditional hunting-trapping territory or fishing berth. For instance, in citing the local place name nomenclature of a community like Belleve (formerly Tickle Harbour), Trinity Bay, we find local toponyms like Tobin's Mash, Burrows Ledge, Sawyers [Sewards] Ledge, and Tom Hickey's Path to name a few, the source for which can be traced in the parish registers, censuses and voter's lists to actual people who occupied and/or exploited these areas. Hopefully, this research will guide futher research in this area, and stimulate open dialogue and altruistic sharing of information. Feedback and input from fellow researchers and scholars is warmly invited. |
