Need a Look-Up in Newfoundland

[Aley]

Hello

I am trying to find the place where Margaret Fisher was born in Newfoundland.

I have her birth years  as 1859 from the 1901 census. Her parents, John Fisher & Margaret Kelly. They were married in 1855 Rothesay, Scotland. They family went back to Scotland before 1861. Other children born to John & Margaret are:
   Peter Fisher  b. 1861            emigrated  to Canada 1886
   John Fisher  b. 1865
   Jessie Lucy Fisher  b. 1872    emigrated  to Canada 1895
Margaret Fisher    emigrated   to Canada 1886

1906 Manitoba Census,  has Margaret Fisher married to Donald Sutherland.

Aley:

Have you seen this:

Newfoundland & Labrador GenWeb:

Will of a Margaret Fisher who died in 1890 in Baylays Cove, Bonavista:

If this might be your Margaret's mother, perhaps you could write away for the will or write to the churches in Baylays Cove (or that area) in case they might have more info.  There might be more info on the NL GenWeb site; I didn't spend much time looking around.

Regards,
Josephine
