The Brewer Family – New Brunswick

[redtonyt]

Thank you both Sandra and JJ you are both simply splendid or dare I say spiffing! 

My only problem now is information overload; not really just so much to assimilate.

JJ I knew nothing of Daniel John Brewer apart from the fact that he was noted as a Jeweller on Robert's baptism.  Certainly nothing about his life in Canada.  I will admit my surprise, to see he had become a Farmer.  The death record in an earlier posting has enabled me to find his baptism record and birth date 13 July 1805, Soho, London. 

My wife found the family on the Canadian Census of 1851 on the very morning I posted the thread.  To be honest I had anticipated finding them in Australia.  Three of Sarah Amelia Barnes' sisters married and emigrated there in the 1850s.  I know never assume anything. 

Best regards,
Tony

HI Tony,

Your very welcome, hope all the info will help once unravelled.
Still looking at Mary Anne Brewer - this little snippet was interesting.

James Feeny born circa 1831, died before 9 March 1882
James married Mary Anne Brewer, daughter of Daniel John Brewer and Sara Amelia Barnes, at York Co., New Brunswick, Canada, on 28 May 1857.
James Feeny died before 9 March 1882  -  when his wife, Mary Ann Phiney of Fredericton, is called a widow in a deed. Surname is also spelled Phiney.

Hi Sandra,

Thanks for that wonderful piece of information.  It ties Mary Anne in very nicely. 

I now hope to sit down quietly, sort out all the recent info and tidy/expand my brother's tree.

Cheers,
Tony

Looking through the site that Sandra found, it was more extensive as it has the whole family, but needs to be all checked out for truth
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~brouwergenealogydata/p52.htm#i123609

It has the death of Charles Henry Brewer...c.1882/1883 ( selling off his land) but must look for a death notice to confirm this is not an older generation...
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~brouwergenealogydata/p48.htm#i123864

It has Elizabeth marrying Joshua Hanson and having three children
Harry 1875, John Hill Hanson 1877 and Spurgen Hanson 1882
but there were more on IGI Charles R Hanson 1868, death in Boston...and also Laura G Hanson 1883, as her marriage is on there...
I also looked on 1881 and there were 10 children in household ( Lorrie may have been Laura fibbing re: age...)
http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/Census/household_record.asp?HOUSEHOLD_CODE=1881CN_901404

Sarah Caroline may have married Paul Thompson and lived in U.S. as well...Kansas

They have William Henry as marrying Alfretta Hawkhurst ...also in U.S. Saginaw, Michigan with daughter Bertha. I see they are in Mayfield, Santa Clara, California https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/MVG2-1N3
but this fellow seems to die with different names of parents...

They have the Hartin family with 10 children...there are six showing on 1891...you can look for deaths on the site given you earlier http://www.rootschat.com/links/0mis/

The Brewer/Hawkhurst announcement of marriage...1881/ nothing here to prove it is the correct one, though...
http://archives.gnb.ca/Search/NewspaperVitalStats/Details.aspx?culture=en-CA&guid=9dfb5f56-38f7-41ba-9eeb-9573a0e4ab43&r=1&ni=132448
Have found another Wm Henry and Alfretta which accounts for the death....so perhaps Sandra can follow the family further in the U.S.
added...may have found them in Houlton, Maine 1930 with her name misspelled...If this is the correct man, he fibs about his age by about a decade on all census though... https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XM8V-FFD

Seems perhaps the father bought the children all a piece of property back when they were small?

[J.J.]

The Hartin family in 1891...now also has a "Belle" age 8...so is this Bertha or Ethel?  http://www.rootschat.com/links/0miy/ but I do not see them in 1901...Isabelle death  1902 has a matching burial permit for Isabella Brewer http://archives.gnb.ca/Search/RS315A/Details.aspx?culture=en-CA&Key=14608
Found that infor for Clarence, mother was down as Brener https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/F2HH-J31

A Mabel E. Hartin married a Richard Leeman..not sure but age is close http://www.automatedgenealogy.com/census/View.jsp?id=8962&highlight=31

Oh, check this out ...a Wm Hartin was supposed to have married a Jane E, Brewer but can't spot this one..was hoping I might have found Jane?

Thanks JJ.

I am struggling to take this all in at the moment having just returned from the dentist.  Maybe this evening when my mouth has returned to something like normality and my brain is functioning at its normal capacity say 27.374% I shall get it all together. 

Best regards,
Tony

Hi JJ and Tony,

Was giving Tony a little time to collate and digest the info so far, before going on to the other Brewers. Have had a tentative look at William and Alfretta.

The 1930 Census for a William Brewer and Alfretta in Maine may not be the correct one. (An alternative transcription of Bremer was recorded on the "A" site) 

On the 1920 Census for Sterling Ward 2. Logan. Colorado - Alfretta is widowed and living with her married daughter Bertha Smith.

Bernice M Smith 42 Born Ohio. Partner. Farmer. General Farm.
Bertha M Smith 36 Born Michigan.
Harland A Smith 11 Born Colorado.
Julian B Smith 2 years and 4 months. Born Colorado.
Alferetta B Brewer 53 Born New Brunswick. Canada. Mother-In-Law. Widowed.
James G Hammond 33 Boarder.
Forest E Felkner 36 Boarder.

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/MXL3-GFZ

and in 1910 Sterling Ward 3, Logan, Colorado. In this transcription Bertha is also given the alternate name of Goodwin, Joseph Goodwin is recorded as father BUT on the image Joseph is clearly marked as brother-in-law

J Bernice Smith 33 Marriage 1 for 6 years. Proprietor of Pool Hall.
Bertha Smith 27 Had 1 child and 1 survives.
Harford Alfred Smith 2 Born Colorado
David S Thomas 31 Lodger
Edward Wilkinson 24 Lodger
Ford Gordon Bitely 21 Lodger
Carl A Swick 27 Lodger
Joseph Goodwin 60 Born Ohio. Brother-in-law.Widowed.
W H Pirtle 33 Boarder.
