Biography

Ernest was baptised on 3 May 1858 in Charlottetown, , Prince Edward Island, Canada. He was the son of Henry Pope Welsh and Jane Haine (Coles) Welsh.

In 1881 Ernest (age about 23) was living in Charlottetown, , Prince Edward Island, Canada. He was a railroad cashier. [1]

In October, 1881 he went to Kings College, Windsor to study. In June the following year he was ordained deacon by the Bishop of Nova Scotia. Later in the summer he was appointed to the curacy of Shelburne, Nova Scotia. Early in 1883, he had to go to the warmer climate of the Southern States; in June of that year he returned to Charlottetown. Earnestness, zeal, true spiritual fire, and abundant practical common sense were Mr Welsh's most marked characteristics. [2]
