Could someone please help me find the births and/or marriages of these three ladies.
Annie Joyce Manuel/Manual -born 1915 Whalesbrook, Newfoundland
Marrried George Minger in 1927
(I have the details from an obit but verification would help)
Edna Manuel/Manual - no date, but sister to above
married ? Batchelor
Vera Manuel/Manual - no date, but sister to above.
Married Jack Lysne.
Parents: Pleman Manuel and Letitia Collins.
Pleman died in 1918 and Letitia remarried in 1921.
Any help appreciate!

I found an obit which suggested the family were in BC, and the marriage of Letty Manuel/Collins to James Preston Bland in 1921, but can't see the marriage of any of the daughters - possibly they all married after 1931, as if Annie's dob is correct I doubt she married in 1927.
I believe the place name should maybe be "Whale's Brook", a tiny little place:

http://www.rootsweb.com/~cannf/tbs_1935_whalesbrook.htm - in 1935 there were a couple of Manuels there, Abram and Annie, who might be the parents of Pleman.

-also there in 1921.

There is a match to the name of the patriarch above ( living, so won't repeat) Living newfoundland, Gander....an unusual name so could be a descendant...

Thanks Jorose and J.J.
Jorose, I have the marriage of Lettie to James Bland, thankyou, it is not the Manuel line I am researching but the Bland line.
Trying to sort out who is who.
I see your point on annie's birth/marriage date, I double checked my info and that is in order, of course it is wrong, darn ... now I will have to find the correct info.
J.J. I will look into the living descendant, thankyou.

:D Plus...the obit for Annie Joyce Minger has it's ups and downs....
"was born November 23, 1915 in Whalesbrook, Newfoundland. "
...."This dear soul came to Canada in 1921 at the age of seven years with her mother." ??? ;) J.J.

I know J.J., I am very sorry if I am confusing you, I am only getting bits and pieces here and there from my contact, and the details of Annie came from an obit I found on the net (not so reliable)
Google- Annie Joyce Minger and you will see the obit.
When I stated that I was not tracing the Manuel line, I was refering to before the birth of these girls (their ancestry)
I would like their birthdates etc because they were step sisters to my relative, it would help me sort out who is who. By finding out about them and marriages etc I may be able to make contact with a decendant and thus getting more information on the family.
Jorose mentioned other families (in this thread)" Abram and Annie who may be the parents of Pleman". That is what I was referring to.
sorry if I appear hopeless, but I really don't have a great deal to go with and my information is second hand.
I appreciate your patience with me ;)
