Saccary Family- Nova Scotia

[J.J.]

Welcome to Rootshat, BSaccary...I do hope Pendlelad gets this notification...I'll maybe notify by private message as well.
Forgive me for having written 1819 above for Abraham as it was obviously 1919... I guess I was thinking backwards once again......

There are now some earlier instances of the surname in Burial Records of St. Paul's Anglican, Harbour Grace http://nl.canadagenweb.org/cbhg_hg_burials_1800.htm

Hi J.J and BSaccary,

Thanks for continueing this thread, i'm not sure if i said earlier on but i am not a relative of the Saccary's, i was only enquiring for a friend. Saccary is indeed a rare and interesting surname which i found to be challenging when researching it. J.J, I am grateful for the information you have provided here and it will surely help other people around the world related to the family, i will make sure the info also gets to my friend because he will be very happy to see it.

I find it quite strange that the surname is very specific to a small part of the UK in the tudor times, when did they emigrate from Prussia and why? Or is the name Saccary an english deriative of Zachary which could have come over in the Norman conquest?

There is no proof as to the bkgd ancestry of the name in Canada. The older ones said English, the later ones said Irish...Family Lore has the immigrants to NFLD as from Jersey/channel islands so who knows??
Joseph Adrian Saccary, the topic of discussion, and supposedly the same fellow marrying during the war & also having a child in England ...was the son of Moses Sacrey & Catherine McKinnon...

Britanny, looking again, you must be talking about a different Joseph Adrian Saccary??? as yours has a different father?

Images now available for many Sacrey baptisms early in the 1800s! For example
 Briants Cove, Harbour Grace  : Peter ( Ann)   Stephen ( Rebecca)   Zachariah  ( wife Elizabeth)
also one in Carbonear, Harbour Grace: Andrew ( Mary)  although hard to tell if this is one or two generations ( Stephen & wife having children from 1811 to 1831)

Hello.  Little late to the party but I'm living in Ireland originally from the USA and I am related to Saccarys with roots from Nova Scotia. I know it's a common name there but you never know.  Check out Saccary's in Connecticut!
