CONT

ROSEANNE WAS THE DAUGHTER OF THE LATE REUBEN AND MARY ANN (BLACKBURN)BROPHY. SHE WAS MY GRANDMOTHER. SHE MARRIED THE LATE CECIL ROBERTMACLEOD. HIS OBITUARY SPELLS HER NAME AS ROSANNA. THEY WERE MARRIEDTWICE. I WILL EXPLAIN THIS LATER. HER DEATH ANNOUNCEMENT IN THEPAPER SPELLED HER NAME ROSEANNE AS DOES HER OBITUARY. SHE DIED INTHE HALIFAX INFIRMERY HOSPITAL. I AM PUZZLED A BIT. MY COUSIN CARMENTELLS ME THAT ROSEANN IS IN THE 1891 CENSUS AS THE 2 YEAR OLD CHILD OFREUBEN BROPHY. IF THIS IS SO, SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN BORN IN 1889. EVENHER DEATH CERTIFICATE CONFIRMS THE 1893 DATE FOR HER BIRTH. SHE WASSUCH A KIND LADY. I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER HER SOFT VOICE AS SHE SPOKETO YOU. I HAVE 12 CHILDREN LISTED FOR HER AND CECIL MY GRANDFATHER.SHE ACTUALLY HAD 14. KENNETH WAS A TWIN AND THE GIRL DIED 5 DAYSLATER AFTER BIRTH. I DO NOT KNOW IF SHE WAS EVEN GIVEN A NAME. THEREWAS ALSO A CHILD WHO WAS STILLBORN. MOM TELLS ME THAT GRANNY MACLEODCARRIED THIS CHILD FOR QUITE SOME TIME WHO WAS ACTUALLY DEAD INSIDE OFHER AND THAT SHE HERSELF ALMOST DIED. I BELIEVE THAT WAS THE TIMETHAT MY GRANDFATHER THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO LOOSE HER AND HE HAD THEPRIEST IN TO CHANGE HIS RELIGION RIGHT AWAY. ACCORDING TO THEINFORMATION I RECEIVED FROM MY UNCLE HELMUT, HER WEDDIND DATE IS 1911YET I HAVE FOUND QUITE A BIT OF INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET AND HERWEDDING DATE IS SHOWN AS JULY 5, 1913. I BELIEVE THIS MAY BE THESECOND TIME THEY MARRIED AS MY MOTHER TOLD ME THEY WERE MARRIED TWICETHAT SHE WAS AWARE OF. I TEND TO AGREE WITH HELMUT'S DATE ESPECIALLYSINCE MY FATHER WAS BORN IN 1912. THE OBITUARY I HAVE OF MY AUNT DOTMACLEOD SHOWS MY GRANDMOTHER AS ROSE MARIE MACLEOD. THIS IS THE FIRSTTIME I HAVE EVER SEEN HER NAME AS ROSE MARIE. I HAVE ALSO FOUND INONE OF MY OLD NEWSPAPERS A MEMORIAM MY FATHER PUT IN THE PAPER FORHER. IT WAS IN THE OCTOBER 14,1974 CHRONICLE HERALD. HERE MY FATHERSHOWS HER AS ROSE ANN MACLEOD. I HAVE RECORDED HER AS "ROSEANNE"ACCORDING TO HER OBITUARY. SHE IS BURRIED IN THE GATES OF HEAVENCEMETERY. ON FEBRUARY 11, 2007 I SOLVED SOME OF THE MYSTERIES. IFOUND A GENTLEMAN ON THE INTERNET BY THE NAME OF BOB HEGERICH. HE HASCONFIRMED SOME INFORMATION I FOUND ON A GENEALOGY WEB SITE CALLEDROOTSWED.COM. HE WAS THE PERSON WHO RECORDED THE INFORMATION. TURNSOUT MY GRANDMOTHER WAS BAPTIZED ROSANNA AND THE REASON FOR THE 1891CENSUS SHOWING HER AS 2 YEARS OLD IS BECAUSE THERE WAS A BABY GIRLBORN IN 1989 CALLED ROSANNA AS WELL. SHE MUST HAVE DIED AND IN 1893,THEY NAME MY GRANDMOTHER ROSANNA AS WELL. THIS IS NOW CONFIRMED WITH ACOPY I NOW HAVE OF THE 1889 AND 1893 CHURCH BAPTISM RECORDS. I HAVELEFT HER RECORDED AS ROSEANNE FOR NOW BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT WE HADALWAYS CALLED HER. IN APRIL OF 2007, I FOUND HER WEDDING RECORD ONTHE NOVA SCOTIA GENEALOGY WEB SITE AND SHE SIGNED THE WEDDING REGISTARAS ROSALIE BROPHY.

Rosanna was born in 1893. She was the daughter of James Brophy and Mary Blackburn. She passed away in 1965.
