| 3. | Catherine Whelan (1.Esther1) was born Abt 1843, Cape Broyle, Newfoundland; died 22 Jan 1915, Caplin Bay, Newfoundland; was buried Abt 28 Jan 1915, Holy Trinity RC Cemetery, Ferryland, Ferryland District, Newfoundland, Canada. Notes:
Birth:
There appears to be a misunderstandings about Catherine's place of birth. Some family lore says that Catherine was from the Torbay area. This information was likely caused by the fact that her daughter, also named Catherine, married and settled there in 1889.
In addition, Catherine's Vital Statistics Death record states (incorrectly) she was born at Caplin Bay. No other official records support that information and my research strongly suggests that Catherine was actually born at Cape Broyle, not Caplin Bay.

Evening Telegram (St. John's, N.L.), 1903-11-27.
------------------------------------------------
ATTACKED BY A LYNX. Last week James Power, of Caplin Bay, was attacked by a lynx while out shooting, and but for the timely arrival of John Reddigan and J. Ryan he would have been torn to pieces. It is a remarkable fact that lynx run away from people in Newfoundland except those living on the Peninsula of Avalon.
Evening Telegram (St. John's, N.L.), 1919-10-30.
------------------------------------------------
NEARLY DROWNED. During the gale, yesterday morning, Mr. Sebastian Laidwell (sic - Ledwell) was blown by the violence of the wind, into Old Woman's Pond near Caplin Bay and would have had a hard time getting out only for the timely assistance of Mr. John Reddigan who was passing.
Research Overview:
John was a fisherman/farmer all of his life, the traditional occupation for most men of Calvert of that era. He lived in the old house on the land that had been settled by his grandfather in the 1820s. In his grandfather's will of 1872, John is mentioned as one of the eldest sons of his father, Michael, and was slated as an eventual heir of a half share of the old Reddigan homestead along with his brother, Richard.
This Richard, according to family lore was lost at sea, and John's other brothers also died, except for his younger brother, (Big) Mike. Mike was only a few weeks old when his grandfather died, and was not willed any property. However, in the second decade of the 1900s, so the family story goes, John agreed to split the house and land that he had inherited into two equal parts and he gave half of it to his brother, Mike, to "keep peace in the family".
Thereafter the old duplex house was occupied for many years by both families; with John's half being occupied by his son, Tom, until his death in 1984. The old house remained standing, but in an ever declining state of disrepair, until it was eventually demolished in 2005.
Died:
There was no Newfoundland Vital Statistics death record found for John Reddigan, however the attached obituary was found in a Boston newspaper.
John married Bridget Joseph Meaney 29 Nov 1900, Holy Trinity RC Parish, Ferryland, Newfoundland. Bridget (daughter of Thomas "Tom" Meaney and Mary Kennedy) was born Abt Mar 1876, Caplin Bay, Newfoundland; died 26 Mar 1954, Calvert, Newfoundland; was buried Abt 28 Mar 1954, Holy Trinity RC Cemetery, Ferryland, Ferryland District, Newfoundland, Canada.

Died:
A story told by Tom Reddigan relates that his Uncle Jose died after a voyage to the icefields (i.e. seal hunting). Apparently he had mistakenly taken a clothes bag belonging to someone else and didn't discover this until he was at the icefields. The clothes that were in the bag didn't fit him properly and he caught a severe cold. His death certificate states he died from pulmonary tuberculosis, however it is possible that it may have been that pneumonia or the severe cold hastened his inevitable death from tuberculosis.

Notes:
Research Overview:
Mike Reddigan was the last of Michaeal and Catherine (Whelan) Reddigan's children to die. He was a big tall man and even at 91 years old, he was only slightly bent by age. It seems that in his younger days, Big Mike, as he was called to distinguish him from his cousin Mike Joe Reddigan, was well known for his pugilistic inclinations and there are a number of stories told at Calvert of his prowess.
In the early 1900s, Mike Shallow of Admiral's Cove, Fermeuse, who had moved with his family to Boston and trained as a boxer, came back to Newfoundland. He eventually became the British Heavyweight Champion. It was said that he spent some time around Calvert (his mother's birthplace) and soon learned to steer clear of Mike Reddigan. This lead someone to quip that Mike Shallow may have been the "official" British Heavyweight Champion but Mike Reddigan was the "unofficial" British Heavyweight Champion.
Another story is told of how a group of young men decided that they would - collectively - take Big Mike down a notch. So they lay in wait one dark night, by the roadside, and pounced on Mike and a companion when they came by. In the ensuing fight, Big Mike and his companion fought hard and, though outnumbered, they eventually put their attackers to flight. Mike's companion mused that since it was too dark to recognize any of their attackers, maybe they should report the incident to the constable at Ferryland and have him investigate. Big Mike's reply to this was "I'll know mine in the morning". The "mine", meaning the ones that he had hit, who undoubtedly would bear the marks of his knuckles for quite a while afterwards.
Michael married Catherine Frances "Kate" McBride 29 Nov 1916, Holy Trinity RC Parish, Ferryland, Newfoundland. Catherine (daughter of John McBride and Elizabeth Bridget Ryan) was born 15 Nov 1886, Caplin Bay, Newfoundland; died 1975, Calvert, Newfoundland; was buried 1975, Holy Trinity RC Cemetery, Ferryland, Ferryland District, Newfoundland, Canada.

- Immigration: 1903, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
Notes:
Birth:
No baptism record was found for this Alice Anne, however the birth date used here was given on her Aug 1963 application for a US Social Security Number, under the name of Alice Ann Pike. It is interesting that her parent's names were given as John (sic) Redigan and Catherine Whelan. The same error in her father's name was also made on her death certificate??
Immigration:
The manifest of the SS Silvia shows that Miss Alice Reddigan (20) and Miss C. Reddigan (18) were listed as sailing from St. John's on Nov. 14, 1903 via Halifax, NS, arriving at New York, NY on Nov. 17, 1903. The manifest indicates that their final destination was Halifax, however this was likely an error since they appear to have traveled on to New York.

Notes:
Travel:
Mary was travelling with her sister "Bridget Frances", (aka Bridie) to Brooklyn, New York. Although she indicated that she was married, her husband's name was not recorded as her next of kin. Based on the 1921 Newfoundland Census, she and her husband, Thomas Reddy, were legally separated.
Travel:
Mary indicated that she was travelling to New York to do housework for Lewis Jacobson, 917 48th St., Brooklyn. On this trip she gave her point of contact in Newfoundland as Thomas Reddy, her "ex" husband.
Mary married Thomas Reddy 5 Sep 1912, Torbay, Newfoundland; divorced Before 1921, Torbay, Newfoundland. [Group Sheet]

- Baptism: 7 Aug 1892, Torbay, Newfoundland
- Travel: 27 May 1926, New York, New York, United States
Notes:
Birth:
The forename recorded in the Vital Statistic records was just Joseph, but it appears this individual was known as Richard (Dick) Thorne.
Travel:
The manifest incorrectly show Richard as single, but on the supporting page it gives his next of kin in Newfoundland as Bride Thorne, his wife. His point of contact in the United States was his sister, Mary "Thorne" at 917 - 48 St., Brooklyn, New York, where she was in domestic service. There is no statement on the manifest as to why Richard traveled to the New York, and where he was staying. Although I couldn't find a record, Richard indicated he had been in the US before, for (a total of?) 7 months.
Dick Thorne did eventually return to Newfoundland and lived at Torbay (per the 1945 Newfoundland Census), with his wife and three daughters. I remember that my father mentioned meeting him at St. John's a number of times. In later years (1980s?) my father first cousin (Joseph Reddigan) lived briefly with Dick's daughters (Veronica and Kathleen) at Torbay.
Richard married Bridget "Bride" Abt 1920, Torbay, Newfoundland. Bridget was born Mar 1900, Torbay, Newfoundland. [Group Sheet]

Notes:
Buried:
When Annie Maria Thorne was born on 24 September 1894, in Torbay, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, her father, William Thorne, was 32 and her mother, Catherine Joseph Reddigan, was 30. She married John Samuel Butler on 6 April 1920, in Topsail, Newfoundland, Canada. They were the parents of at least 3 daughters. She lived in Bell Island, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada in 1945. She died on 19 November 1968, in Foxtrap, Newfoundland, Canada, at the age of 74, and was buried in Foxtrap, Newfoundland, Canada.

| 65. | Bridget Frances "Bridie" Thorne (18.Catherine3, 3.Catherine2, 1.Esther1) was born 20 Dec 1898, Torbay, Newfoundland; died 1954, New Bedford, Bristol, Massachusetts, United States; was buried 1954, New Bedford, Bristol, Massachusetts, United States. Other Events:
- Baptism: 22 Dec 1898, Torbay, Newfoundland
- Census: 1921, St. John's, Newfoundland
- Travel: 10 Nov 1921, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
- Immigration: May 1922, Pleasantville, New York, United States
- Travel: 18 Sep 1924, New York, New York, United States
Notes:
Name:
It appears that the immediate family usually referred to her as Bridie but on other occasions she gave her name as Frances. Her headstone records her as Frances B.
Census:
The 1921 Newfoundland Census shows that Bridget (age 24) and her sister Clara (age 22) were both employed as housemaids in the residence of Henry Carter and his family located in the St. John's East District.
Travel:
According to Bridget's travel papers, she was destined for Montreal, Canada to "take up work as servant" for "Mrs. Philip Hood". She wasn't specific about the address of the Hood family, but stated "he is manager, branch of Bank of Montreal and will meet"[me]. Bridie's nearest relative was her "father, Wm. Thorne, Torbay, Nfld".
Immigration:
Bridie's application for admission to the United States indicates that she was traveling to New York to work as a nurse maid for Mr. H.C. McArthur, 22 Clinton St., Pleasantville. Again she gave her next of kin in Newfoundland as her father, William Thorne.
Travel:
The travel manifest is somewhat confusing. It appears two branches of the Thorne family (likely a mixture of female siblings and first cousins?) were all travelling together. From what I can decipher, Bridget was recorded by her second name Frances (spelled as Francis - (sic), even though the individual was noted as being female). Frances indicated she had been in the United States twice before.
Frances' point of contact in the United States was her aunt Mrs. Hirsch, 980 57th St, Brooklyn?? Her sister, Mary (Thorne) Reddy was also going to that same address. Mary's age is recorded incorrectly as 23, should be 33. Both show their next of kin in Newfoundland was their father, William Thorne, who lived in Tor Bay (sic - Torbay). The other three cousins? indicated their father was Richard Thorne of Tor Bay.
Bridget married Michael Joseph Crowe Abt 1925. Michael was born 20 Jul 1894, Torbay, Newfoundland; died Dec 1963, New Bedford, Bristol, Massachusetts, United States; was buried Dec 1963, New Bedford, Bristol, Massachusetts, United States. [Group Sheet]
