The Mysterious Ernest Warren.

LOL Sally

Perhaps a check at the cemetery in Harbor Grace could confirm if his body is actually there.

There is a rootschatter from NFLD and I have passed the link on to her in the event she can help.

Hello Sally,
I would imagine that being a sea captain Ernest's family may have had the funds to bring his body home from England for burial. Everything I have read says Ernest was buried in Harbour Grace. However it is also possible that the grave stone is mearly a memorial marker. The Newfoundland Historical Society gives this info for queries.
If you have a Newfoundland-related research question, Please contact the Centre for Newfoundland Studies http://www.library.mun.ca/forms/askalibrariannl.php

Hope this helps,
Wee

Thank-you for that, I shall try them.

And thank-you all again for your interest- as suggested I posted about this on the Australia board- truly great IDEA-- thank-you especially to Judith,  if any one here is not bored rigid with this story- it appears to be carrying on over in Australia.
Thanks again!! Sally

Great Sally!

Please let us know once you get the death certificate, hopefully there might be a clue on it.

Hello Wee Bairn- I got a message from you concerning my search for Mahers in Newfoundland.   Thank you.   I am trying to do a Maher Family Tree for my mom's 80th b'day coming up too soon.  Her gr grandparents were Patrick and Johanna Maher.   They were in Greenpond 1857 and guessing this was year they were married.  They had three children John, Amelia and Thomas - Thomas is my gr grandfather.  I think I found Johanna - died in Logy Bay in 1929 at 90 yrs old.  Then found her living with young couple John and Annie McGrath.  Johanna was grandmother to one of these two.   John was born in St. John's and Annie was born in Pouch cove. My email address is (*)     What part of NL are you from?   I visit NS and wondering where in NS you live.   Hoping to hear from you.  I do not come here often so please email me.  And info would be greatly appreciated.  Marilyn  Hayward (Bonavista Haywards)

Hi from Calgary

Ernest Edwin Warren was born in Harbour Grace 6 April 1871 to James S Warren and wife Annie nee Alcock.  My Martin roots are in Harbour Grace (we arrived from the Channel Islands circa 1450, a little before the official discovery, or so the oral tradition goes) and I link to the family of Ernest.  I do not know if you have resolved all of the issues on him but his three daughters were Elsie, Gwen and Freda in my records.

After a surprise bit of news yesterday from my father when he mentioned this name, I appear to have discovered part of my ancestry, something I never expected, or even looked for. I recognise many names mentioned in these emails as I am the grand-daughter of the Gwen(dolyn) mentioned.

This has all come as a bit of a shock, to say the very least.

I can't post my e-mail here but if you go to the Newfoundland genealogy site http://ngb.chebucto.org/ and search for my name at the top of the page with the About tab there will be a drop down in the contributors list and there will be a connection for me there.  I can send you a photo of James Warren, the father of Ernest.  James was the brother of my g grandfather William Samuel Warren. 

In an extract from the 1924 obituary of William Samuel "Mr. Warren was born in Trinity 80 years ago, and served his apprenticeship with his father, one of the most famous shipbuilders in Newfoundland.  The Warrens in the shipbuilding industry of Newfoundland ranked with the famous Kearney, Newhooks, Rowes and others of their class, who put out of hand our famous ocean greyhounds."
