My mystery man from St John, New Brunswick

[EllieD1432]

Do you know if he (Frederick senior) was the same Frederick E. Danville whose wife Rebecca died in 1861, per the following from the Daniel F. Johnson collection on the Provincial Archives of New Brunswick (PANB) website?

Errrrrrrr  No!   I have her in my tree but no spouse listed   
Could he have been married before? There are 2 branches of Carpenters that have intermarried in places, this has probably caused me to miss some things

"d. Indian Town (St. John), Wednesday 25th inst., Rebecca E. DANVILLE w/o Frederick E. DANVILLE and d/o Thomas GOLDING of Long Island (Queens Co.), MN: Funeral Saturday 11 o'clock"

That would Rebecca Golding Frederick (1852-4), Rebecca Ella and possibly Franklin's mother

It's possible that he was married before.

I'm wondering if Rebecca's middle name might have been Elizabeth.

I think it's probably worth your while to go through everything again, starting with questioning all of your assumptions, and looking at the reasons why you made them. You've got DNA connections but no paper trail, so it's probably safest not to make too many assumptions.

Potentially. You'd need to try to find documentation to prove it.

[EllieD1432]

I'm really grateful for your time, thanks very much!

I'm off to do a bit more research

You're welcome, EllieD. Let us know if you find any leads. It would be great if you could solve your mystery!
