 Research Overview |
Caplin Bay, Newfoundland |
- Although Maher is a fairly widespread surname in Ferryland District, according to his death record Thomas Maher, who settled at Caplin Bay in the mid 1850s, was from Conception Bay. His wife, Bridget Barry, was born at Caplin Bay about 1815, according to her Vital Statistic death record. Thomas and Bridget had at least two sons, James and John. James appears to have left Caplin Bay between 1894 and 1898. John Maher, who was married with several children, also left Caplin Bay between 1904 and 1908. In the Newfoundland 1921 Census, John is shown living in St. John's West, having married for the second time.
We now know for sure that the Maher and Barry family were related but there also appears to have been a fairly close relationship, if not kinship, between these two families and (O')Briens of Caplin Bay. However, no evidence has been found that indicates the (O')Brien family were related.
Nonetheless, two O'Briens are shown as godparents at the baptism of two of John Maher's children and John Meagher is shown as the godfather of one of Michael and Bridget (O')Brien daughters in 1880. According to the late Pauline (O')Brien) Norris, at least one member of the Maher family used to visit her family's home at Calvert, long after they left there.
