Tryphena Elizabeth Spencer Sweetland

1832 - 1907  (74 years)

• Name	Tryphena Elizabeth Spencer Sweetland
  Born	11 Nov 1832	Caplin Bay, Newfoundland   [1]
  It appears that her birth year was 1832 even though her headstone states she was born 11 Nov 1833.
  Gender	Female
  Baptism	15 Dec 1832	St. Luke's CE Parish, Ferryland, Newfoundland   [2]
  Baptism	1840	Trinity, Trinity Bay, Newfoundland   [3]
  This is a "second" baptism, transcribed in the DPHW books for St. Paul's Church of England parish at Trinity, Trinity Bay. It indicates a Tryphena Elizabeth "Frances" Sweetland was baptised there in 1840. However, her full name was spread over two lines which created the illusion that two children "Tryphena Elizabeth" AND "Frances" had been baptised. This record has created much confusion since it also suggests that the "first" Tryphena, who was baptised at Ferryland in 1832, must have died. However, based on the Vital Statistic death record at St. John's, Tryphena was 74 when she died in May 1907. When her birth year is calculated, using her age and the year in which she turned 74 (i.e. 1906), her birth and baptism year match the references to Trypnena Sweetland baptised at Ferryland in 1832.
  Died	13 May 1907	St. John's, Newfoundland   [4]
  Cause: old age
  Tryphena's death record states that she was 74 and she was born at Ferryland.
  Buried	Abt 15 May 1907	St. John's, Newfoundland   [1, 5]
  Address: Church of England Cemetery, Forest Road.
