Edward "Ned" Healey

Research Overview:
It is not clear from the surviving records where Edward Healey was born. The Healey surname is fairly common throughout Newfoundland, so Edward may have been born in one of the other areas where the surname was prevalent. Blackhead, near St. John's, on the road to Cape Spear, has been suggested as having possible connections with the Ferryland area Healeys. The founding patriarch of the Healeys of Blackhead, also named Edward Healy, died in 1861 at the age of 95. His obituary states that he had lived there 50 years (since about 1811). The surname itself has been in the Ferryland area since the late 1700s. It was usually pronounced as Hay-lee, and hence spelled several different ways, including Hayley, Heyley, Haly, Haley, Hally, Healy, and Healey.

One of the earliest mentions of the surname was at Ferryland in the 1791 Supreme Court records. On February 28 of that year James Conolly complained that he was owed money by Edward Hayley. A month later a man named Lenahan complained that he was owed money, for food and lodging, by Oliver Hayley. However, the Ferryland 1800 list of inhabitants, masters, servants, etc. doesn't show either of these names present by that time.

The first mention of the surname at Caplin Bay was in 1814. On August 11 of that year, James Haley sold his house and land at the east end of Old Women's Pond to William Sweetland. William Sweetland and his brother, Benjamin, were born at Ferryland, the sons of a Devon merchant, Henry Sweetland, second husband of Anne Carter. She was the daughter of Robert Carter, who was English born but a long-time Ferryland resident and Justice of the Peace. Anne later married Matthew Morry, another Devon merchant with an established business at Caplin Bay. After this marriage, the Sweetland brothers also chose Caplin Bay as the headquarters for their fishing business and purchased, or were granted, several other pieces of land at the head of the bay. The Sweetlands built a large sixteen room house there, probably on, or near, the property purchased from James Haly.

In May 1826 the name of a James Healy appeared in the court records stating that he was a prisioner in the jail at Ferryland, but a few days later the records indicate that there was no indictment against him. The name James Halley appears again as a witness to another land transaction at Caplin Bay in 1836.

In 1827, the marriage records at St. John's indicate that Edward Haly of Ferryland married Johanna Malone, also of Ferryland. Around this time Edward's name began to surface more often in the court records. The court records at Ferryland indicate that on November 4, 1828, Edward Haley sued Thomas Norris. Thomas Norris was a long-time merchant at Ferryland. In 1833, Edward Haley of Fox Hill was sued by William Carter of Ferryland, and on January 10, 1835, Michael Duggan was accused of giving away his master's wood to Ned Hayley.

Unfortunately, none of the records furnish any information on the kinship or connection (if any) between James Healey and Edward Healey. By 1840, James Healey's name had disappeared from the area and the voters lists show Edward Healey living in Ferryland (at Fox Hill) and a Thomas Healey living in Aquaforte (at Wi[t]ch Hazel Hill). Again there is no written evidence to indicate any kinship between these two families.

It appears that Edward Healey, by the standards of his times, was considered an educated man. In the Ferryland District Roman Catholic Education report (Journal of the House of Assembly) for 1838/1839 there is an entry showing that in May of 1939, £8 "winter's pay" was allotted to E. Haley for his teaching services.

In 1840, Edward Healey was mentioned in the Journal of the House of Assembly as one of the principals in a petition from Ferryland requesting repeal of the Hospital Act. Later journals also indicate that in December 1844, Edmund Healy was advanced the first installment of a contract (£4 15 0) for road construction from LaManche to Cape Broyle. Edward Healey's name also appears on a list at Caplin Bay receivng flour distribution in the winter of 1846/1847. There had been a hurricane (called The September Gale of 1846) which destroyed most fishing crafts and premises in the area, so fisherman were unable to pursue the fall fishery. The government provided flour, distributed under the supervision of the local clergy and magistrates, to those left most destitute by the gale.

While the voters lists indicate that Thomas Healey spent the rest of his life at Aquaforte, they indicate that about 1843, Edward Healey left Ferryland and moved to Caplin Bay. In 1844 he is listed as living in the area identified as Gormand(s). This appears to be the property on the the north east side of the Old Woman's Pond, close to the property sold to the Sweetlands by James Haley, thirty years earlier. The reason for the move of the Healey family to Caplin Bay is not known. However another entry in the Journal of the House of Assembly shows that Edward and his wife were providing schooling to the children of their area (i.e. the south side). The report for Caplin Bay states "This school is kept by a man and his wife for £16 between them. The master, Mr. Heyley, I believe, is equal to teaching the usual branches of instruction in these humble Schools. There is no school-room built. Six children were present at the time of my visit (Dec. 6), 4 boys and 2 girls, about six years old.The school list contains the names of 72 scholars."

Although Edward had moved to Caplin Bay, it appears he still retained possession of land at Ferryland. An Edward Healey was given a Crown Land grant at Ferryland in 1849. We assume that this was the Edward who was living at Caplin Bay since records do not indicate that there was an Edward Healy Jr. In an update to the 1859 voters list of Caplin Bay, a notation was made that Edward Haly was blind. Strangely, years later, another Crown Land grant was recorded for an Edward Healey at Ferryland in 1870. The name Edward Healey did not appear as the head of a household at Caplin Bay or Ferryland in Lovell's 1871 Directory. Edward's son Andrew was recorded as living at Ferryland, having married there in 1858. It is not known when Edward died; he may still have been alive in 1871. Being blind, and possibly living with one of his children at Ferryland or Caplin Bay, he would not have been listed as the head of the household.

Edward married Johanna Malone 12 Jan 1827, St. John's, Newfoundland. Johanna (daughter of Jeffrey Malone) died 1 May 1848, Caplin Bay, Newfoundland; was buried Abt 3 May 1848, Non-denominational Cemetery, Ferryland, Ferryland District, Newfoundland, Canada. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Birth:
His headstone says he was born in 1862.

Immigration:
An immigration record shows that Edward Foley sailed from St. John's on the ship Carthaginian and arrived at Halifax, Nova Scotia, on 23 May 1892. On the same day, another immigration record shows that Edward Foley, born in 1858 in Newfoundland, entered Boston, Massachusetts, United States, sailing from Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, on the ship Worcester.

Census:
In the 1900 US Census, it appears that Edward, his wife Mary, and his sisters Flora and Katheren (sic) were all living in the same household in Bristol, Connecticut. It was recorded that Edward moved to the US in 1892, Mary in 1893, and both Flora and Katheren arrived there in 1895.

Census:
In the 1910 US Census, Edward and Mary lived at Jacob St. in Bristol, Connecticut with an adopted daughter named Lillian. Contrary to the 1900 US Census, this census states that Edward entered the US in 1896.

Census:
In the 1920 US Census, the surname was recorded as Fouley or Fowley, likely due to its phonetic rendering in the Irish Newfoundland dialect. Their adopted daughter, Lillian, was still living with them. Some of the given information was incorrect, possibly given by Lillian. It states that Edward was born in Newfoundland but Mary was born in Nova Scotia. It gives their immigration years as 1885 and 1886 respectively. The family was still living on Jacob St.

Census:
Edward, Mary and Lillian were recorded as living together on Maple St. in Plainsville in 1930. Lillian, recorded as being single, gave her age as 27 years. She was a nurse at a hospital (unspecified). However, it appears that Lillian M. Foley, a registered nurse, was recorded again in the same census, at the New Britain Hospital in Hartford, Connecticut.

In 1910, Hannah, age 38, was a passenger on the Rosalind, from St. John's, Newfoundland along with her children Dannie age 5, Eddie age 3, and Mary 6 months. She gave her place of birth as Ferryland and her next of kin in Newfoundland as Mrs. H. Shea, 19 Stevens St., St. John's. She declared that she and her children were joining her husband Joseph Shea, who was already in the US and living at 695 Henry St. in Brooklyn, New York. Also in her 1910 declaration, Hannah indicated she had been in the US before, in 1903. I did not find a record for that year, but another immigration record shows that she did enter the US in 1899 and was working in Bristol, CT per the 1900 Census. We know that she later returned to Newfoundland where she married Joseph Shea in 1902.
