For many years our family has always thought that Howard Douglas wife Mary surname was Dixon we have finally learned after so many years her surname was Nixon.

Howard Douglas & Mary Nixon were married in Charlotte County New Brunswick on October, 14th, 1846 the witnesses were Samuel Curry & Galbraith ( Douglas )
Howard Douglas was from ST.Andrews parish New Brunswick, Mary Nixon was from ST.David parish New Brunswick.
Am so happy finally found there marriage date now if we could just find the marriage date for their daughter Sarah Jane Douglas born 1852, married James Sherman born 1844, we have much information on the children of Sarah Jane Douglas & James Sherman but we have no marriage date or place of marriage for Sarah and James.

Thank you all in advance

Family History Beginners Board / John Russell & Marie Bergeron
« on: Wednesday 10 April 19 23:29 BST (UK)  »


 Still Need to find a marriage date and place for John Russell & Marie Josephte Bergeron, only info I have is they had 7 children born in New Carlisle Bonaventure Quebec, and their childrens surname Russell keeps showing up in different spellings such as Restell, Rossel, Rousselle,
their 7 children were, all their children were born in Bonaventure,Quebec they lived in New Carlsile Quebec .

1. Margaret born 1795 married Jean Bellier or John Blair about 1821 in Quebec
2. Mary born 1797
3. Jane born 1800
4. John born Aug,3,1803 married Elizabeth Murray in Bathurst New Brunswick Canada in 1827 my gg grandparents
5. Martha born 1805
6. James born 1808 married Agnes Ann (Nancy) Howland
7. peter born 1812 married Rachel Howland

It Is said but not proven that this john Russell married to Marie Josephte Bergeron was Lord john Russell.
I can find no marriage for John Russell & Marie Josephte Bergeron,

Marie Josephte Bergeron was born June,25,1777 in Miriamchi N.B. and baptized about 1783 in Bonaventure Quebec.

As well I have no real birth date or place for John Russell married to Marie Josephte Bergeron.
It is possible that he was born about 1758 and was in the Bristish Army till about 1783.
Family says he was from England.  I am just hoping one day to find his marriage place and date to Marie Bergeron and pray it has his birth date and place and his parents names. I do not have a death date for him either or know if he died in Quebec or New Brunswick.
 It is possible  that there might be info on him in areas such as Bonaventure,New Carlisle, Carleton, Quebec and so on but no good to me as I do not read french or speak it.

Family History Beginners Board / James Sherman born 1844
« on: Friday 22 March 19 05:47 GMT (UK)  »

I need a marriage date for James Sherman born 1844 in either New Brunswick or U.S.A. and Sarah Jane Douglas or Douglass born about 1852 in New Brunswick I believe.

I am still in search of parents of James Sherman born 1844 married Sarah Jane Douglas, James and Sarah had the following children all there children were born in New Brunswick Canada.

Walter James Sherman born abt 1873

Howard valentine Sherman born abt 1877 married Margaret Blanche Gibson

Mary Ann Sherman born abt 1879 married John Fredrick Blair

Andrew Cameron Sherman born abt 1880 married Amy Marshal

Mable Irene Sherman born abt 1887 married Thomas McKnight

Martha Matilda Sherman born abt 1889 married Pete Peterson

Nina Jane Sherman born abt 1892 1st married Walter Libby, 2nd married C.D. Hayford

I am seeking info on parents of James Sherman born 1844,where was he born ? Who were his parents ? When did he and Sarah Jane Douglas get married ? Were they married in New Brunswick or U.S.A.

James Sherman is buried in the Rockland cemetery in McAdam New Brunswick Canada, his daughter Martha Matilda Peterson (Sherman) is buried with him.

We know that Mable Irene McKnight (Sherman) and her sister Nina Jane Hayford (Sherman) settled in U.S.A.

McAdam New Brunswick is close to the border of Calais and Vance Bro Maine U.S.A.

Sahara Jane Sherman (Douglas) wife of James Sherman as I can see is not buried with her husband James Sherman, some family members says she is buried but no tombstone,would not the cemetery have record if she were buried there ? and I do not understand why her name would not be on the grave stone as her husbands name is on it as it their daughters name on it.

on James Sherman tombstone it says James Howard Sherman born 1844 died 1908.

I have been stuck here at James Sherman for many years.
This sure is a mystery.


Only other info is Sarah Jane Sherman (Douglas) born abt 1852 ST.James,Charlotte county, her parents are suppose to be Howard Douglas & Mary Ann Dixon.   

Thank You all in advance

looking for information on
Stewart Gibson & Rebecca Jane Evans they left from Antrim Ireland in 1818 landed in ST.James Charlotte county New Brunswick, on passenger list in 1818 it has that
Stewart Gibson was 37 years of age in 1818 it says his wie
Rebecca Jane Gibson (Evans) was 33 years of age. Says there religion was press


Family history that has been passed down from family members says that Stewart Gibson was son of Alexander Gibson & Janet Moore.

Rebecca Jane Gibson (Evans) was daughter of James Evans & Margaret Evans (King)

Margaret Evans (King) was daughter of John King & Elizabeth ?


there was a John King that also came to ST James Charlotte county New Brunswick in1829 he came from Down Ireland  says he was age 70 brn about 1759 when he came to New Brunswick,with him was Elizabeth age 68 brn about 1761,says there religion was press

there was a James Evans who came from Tryone Ireland in 1831 to ST.James Charlotte county New Brunswick, says he was age 56,brn abt 1775 with him was Margaret Evans age 68 and another Margaret Evans age 28

there is a problem with ages and years so somewhere some ages and years are wrong but we have no idea which ones.

there was a Alice King age 46 landed in St,James Charlotte county New Brunswick in 1824,religion Press we have no idea if she related to any above does not say where in Ireland she came from.

there was also a Ann King age 54 came from Down Ireland in 1843 to ST.James Charlotte county New Brunswick Religion Press,no idea if related to any of above.

also in 1843 there was a Robert King age 57 religion press,came From Down and a James King age 30,religion press also came from Down and both came to ST.James Charlotte county New Brunswick.

In 1829 a Robert JR King age 40,religion Press came from Down to ST.James Charlotte County New Brunswick.

would be great to one day have correct years for the following

John King born about  1759  & Elizabeth ? would love to learn her maiden name

James Evans born about 1775 ? & Margaret Evans (King) born about 1775 ?

Stewart also at times spelled Stuart Gibson born about 1781 ? & Rebecca Jane Gibson (Evans) born about 1785 ?
also need correct age and year of birth for Alexander Gibson & Janet Gibson (Moore) as they are parents of Stewart Gibson.

Thank you all in advance
