Hello Vince

OK, please contact me with your questions and I'll try to help.

Hello Lorne,

I have the Garlands sisters' ancestry if you are interested. You likely know this already. They were the daughters of Jonathan Garland and Elily Jane Snelgrove of Lower Island Cove. Jonathan was the son of Thomas Garland and Elizabeth Snelgrove and Emily Jane Snelgrove was the d/o Abraham Snelgrove and Rebecca Wheeler.

Rebecca Garland married Hector Raymond MacNeil and they settled first at Whitney Pier and later at New Waterford Lake. They had a son Hector Raymond 'Raymond' who married Elizabeth Burke and they are my grandparents. My grandmother's sister Theresa married Allan Francis Reid who descends from Elizabeth Garland and her first husband.

Did you write on here that you are married to one of the daughters of Elizabeth Garland and William Bursey?


Vince MacNeil

Hello Vince - I married a daughter of one of William Bursey's sons, i.e. a granddaughter of Elizabeth Garland's. Elizabeth outlived 3 husbands: Moses Reid, William Bursey and Francis Pynn, all of New Melbourne, Trinity Bay. About 3 years ago Melissa D Matt was enquiring about an Abel Reid. My uncle (by marriage) Simeon Reid, a son of Moses,was a brother of Abel, and since I knew Simeon's family (he married my mother's sister) I was able to give Melissa the information she was looking for.

Hello Lorne,

Do you know anything about these people? Allan Francis Reid married my grandmother's sister.
