Canada Lookup Request / Boesse family of Quebec
« on: Monday 20 August 07 03:00 BST (UK) »
I am searching for information in Quebec concerning Edward Boesse, who married Anna Campbell, in Quebec before the birth of their son, who was born in Sept., of 1838. That son was named Edward D. Boesse. They had another son named Oscar P. Boesse, who was born in ca. 1848-51. The couple had moved to the United States for awhile, but returned to Quebec at some point, and their sons used to visit them there. It is said that Edward Boesse was born in France, but his being born in Quebec is a distinct possibility. Anna Campbell was said to have been born in Quebec. The couple most likely died there. Their surname was spelled variously as: Bosse, Bosey, Bossie, and finally Boesse. This family had connections to Hancock, MA. and Berlin, N.Y. in the United States. Can anyone help find information concerning this family in Quebec? Any help at all would be very much appreciated.

Hi All,
After researching this morning, all of the Mayo cannons in existence today were made of bronze. So these Mayo brothers were indeed makers of bronze cannons in the 1550's. Now I need to research early Bronze cannon makers in England.

Hi Jane,
Yes, I have checked that out. I was really hoping that there might be record of the Mayo brothers also at the Guildhall Museum in London, but no luck. I just heard from that Wealden Iron Research Group, and they said that the two Mayo cannons that still exist in England were bronze and he thinks that the Mayo brothers worked with bronze; however, I don't think that the cannon in Plymouth, MA. of their's is bronze. I'll need to check that out. Them being bronze gunfounders may be an important clue. Thanks for keeping me in mind!

Thank you, Kerry. I am sharing anything I learn with the Royal Armouries in London; with Guernsey Island; and with Pilgrim Hall Museum and Plymouth, MA. public library and historical society. All help would be very much appreciated.
