Notes

Note CI1018110116:

I'm really not sure where the baptism took place. I don't know whether there was a church in Aquaforte that long ago. According to the book "This is our Place This is our Home" by Joan Edward (Breakwater Books), the bible was donated to the St. Philip's on May 24, 1859 and it is thought by locals that the church was first dedicated about two years before that. I'm fairly confident that St. Luke's existed in Ferryland from about the early 1830s onward and it may be that all Aquaforte families travelled there for baptisms, marriages and funerals. Bishop John Inglis, who was responsible for Newfoundland but resided in Nova Scotia, came to Newfoundland in 1832 and consecrate a number of churches in the outports, possibly including St. Luke's However, I do not know the exact date that St. Luke's was built. 1

Of note in regard to early Christenings that are supposed to have happened at Ferryland is the name of the minister is P. Perring. He was assigned to work out of St. John's; these Christenings could have been performed in St. John's, likely at St. Thomas's.

Chris, 1

I am going to start answering your questions or queries, in email dated Aug. 14, 2000, 9:42 pm. 1 will do #8 in this email, because it want to tell you a story alongwith why I have my records the way they are: ANNA LOUISE / LOUISA WINSOR (Actually could be Winser at this point and time. Some. I have sources both ways. I don't really know when they changed the er to or. Anyhow - here goes ......... 1

Regarding the dates, I will get back to later with my sources,. 1

Her Name: You can call her Ann if you wish. I have only seen it as Anna .......... Actually her name is ANITA LOUISA - also known as NANCY -. 1

Gert Crosbies Collection of Birth's, Deaths and marriages in Newfoundland Newspapers I Quote: MORRISEY, WILLIAM married ANNA LOUISA WINSER, daughter of PETER WINSER, M.H.A.M. on 25th by Rev. Walsh. Published on March 6, 1854 In the Newfoundlander. 1

The first child of Anna and William is PETER STEPHEN MORRISEY - Baptized Catholic Cathedral Bazilica, St. John's 5 Nov. 1827 - Source: Catholic Cathedral Bazilica Records, St. John's. Baptized by Priest John Vereken. Godparents, Matthew Condon and Mary Walsh. 1 story goes that she and her father had an argument and Peter and Nancy signed a paper that she would never become a Catholic and on the day of her conversion, Nancy reminded her father of this, and told the priest ofher promise. They accepted her anyhow. Nancy and her father had many disagreements - the final one came whenhe locked her out one night when she came in after 10:00. She spent the night in the hayloft, and soon after she ran off with an Irish Tailor named Morrisey. 1

What more can I say. 1

The rest later. 1

On November 30, 1966, Nimshi Crewe transcribed this marriage record for Capt. Thomas H. Goodyear, 32 Long Pond Rd., St. John's, whose wife, Jessie Windsor, was a descendant. This is what he recorded from the Patriot 11 March 1854:

"Married. On Saturday evening (15th ulto) by the Rev. K. Walsh, Mr. William Morrisey to Ann Louisa, youngest daughter of Peter Winser, Esq. M (ember) G (eneral) A (ssembly). 1

Nimshi was always quite meticulous about the things he transcribed and I suspect the above is an accurate reflection of what appeared in the newspaper, though the newspaper reporter may have erred. Therefore I think on balance that she did go by the name Ann and not Anna.
