Mary Grant

1861 - 1907  (~ 46 years)

• Name	Mary Grant
  Born	Mar 1861	Cape Broyle, Newfoundland   [1]
  Although the surviving baptism records for Mary's home parish at Ferryland only go back to 1870, Mary's baptism was recorded in the adjacent parish at Fermeuse. The baptism record gives no indication where she was actually born but the godparent's name suggest they were from Cape Broyle or Brigus South.
  Gender	Female
  Baptism	24 Mar 1861	Holy Apostles Parish, (Fermeuse/Renews), Newfoundland   [2]
  Died	21 Aug 1907	Bristol, Hartford, Connecticut, United States   [3]
  Based on the 1900 and 1910 US Censuses, Mary died in this timeframe. This is the only listing of a Mary Johnston (or Johnson) that is shown for Bristol in the Connecticut Death Record Index, 1897-1966. To date I have been unable to find an on-line record to verify that this record is for Mary (Grant) Johnston.

  SOUTHERN SHORE MARRIAGE RECORDS FROM R.C. BASILICA, ST. JOHN'S COVERING ST. JOHN'S AND OTHER AREAS: Johnston, John; Ferryland Grant, Mary; Caplin Bay - November 25, 1883 - Joseph Rossiter & Frances Kieley. Although the marriage record appears to indicate that John was from Ferryland, he was born at Caplin Bay. At times, priests in St. John's often recorded the parish name instead of the actual hometown. The marriage record also says that Mary Grant was from Caplin Bay, however research gives no indication that a Grant family ever lived there. The Grant families of Ferryland parish lived at Cape Broyle and Brigus South.
