    Notes:

    Census:
    When the 1880 US Census was enumerated, it recorded Francis Meaney (35) and Robert Swain (24), fishermen from Newfoundland, living as boarders at the home of the Irish family of James and Maria Galavan on Tremont St. in Gloucester, Massachusetts. Both men's marital status was single, however we know that Frank was widowed, not single.

    Census:
    In 1891, Frank Mainey (sic), along with John (Joseph) Swain (of Caplin Bay) and John Williams (of Ferryland)? were seeking employment in British Columbia. In this Canadian Census, these three Newfoundlanders were living together in the James Bay Ward of Victoria City. Frank Meaney and John Swain gave their occupation as carpenters; John Williams' declared no trade. They were all unemployed at the time of the census.

    According to this census, Frank Meaney was the head of the household, and all three men said they were single. A few years later, Frank Meaney returned to Newfoundland, remarried in 1894, and initially settled in St. John's. He eventually returned to Caplin Bay and died there in 1911. About 1912, John Joseph Swain also returned home. John had married in British Columbia about 1900, but his wife died in 1907. It appears John decided to stay at Caplin Bay and married Frank Meaney's widow in 1912.
