Less detail
Generation: 1

  1. 1.  Sarah Ivany was born Abt 1860, Fogo, Newfoundland; died Yes, date unknown.

    Notes:

    Transcribed copy of Newfoundland 1921 Census says Sarah was born in May 1850 and that she was 61 on her last birthday. Hovever, if she was 61 this would mean she was born in 1860. This seems to makes more sense since her son Gordon was born in 1905, even though she was 45 years old at that time.

    Sarah married James Richard Johnston 14 May 1896, St. John's, Newfoundland. James (son of James Johnston and Eliza Goff) was born Abt Dec 1854, Ferryland, Newfoundland; died Abt 1930, St. John's, Newfoundland. [Group Sheet]
