HANDSPIKER posted by Jared "Jed" Handspicker on Wednesday, April 30, 1997

Seeking any information on Alexander Handspiker, born in 1885, in Cape Breton.. possibly the son of Edward and Flora (Flora also b. Cape Breton, Edward b. Digby) I have funeral records on Alexander, who died at age 20, in Truro, Colchester Co. Am trying to tie this family into the Handspikers of Digby, as Edward has several possible identities. It seems this family may have only been in Cape Breton for a short time, possibly from when Edward arrived there, and married Flora, and then moved on to Colchester Co. Would anyone with any info on this branch of my "tree" please contact me, and aim me in the right direction? I have tons of info on the Digby families, all the way back to the earlier family members in Bergen County, New Jersey, in mid 1700s. Thanks in advance for any help. Jed

EDDY posted by Sue Norman on Thursday, May 1, 1997

My great-uncle, Thomas Eddy and my great-grandfather, Walter Eddy came through Cape Breton in around 19040r 05. My great- grandmother Eleanor Jane came through in 1905. Eleanor Jane had three children with her and was looking for her husband Walter. He was suppose to send for her in SpennyMoore, England and never did. She and the children lived there for a year. If anyone can tell me a way to find out exactly where they were or the ship they arrived on it would be helpful. Thomas gave Cape Breton as his last foriegn address when he was natualized in the US. This is why I believe they must have lived here for that year.

Searching for Mary Jane FAIRWEATHER, born 1826, Dundee, Scotland. Survived a shipweck en route to Canada off the Northern Cape Bretan coast. That ship may have been the barque "Isabella" in 1842. She married Elbridge Foster in 1851 at Scugog Island Ontario. They had 11 children, including a set of twins and a set of triplets.
