Surnames: HICKEY
NOTE: County: Cape Breton
Qrytext: Rev. David Hickey, born 1843 at Indian River, PEI, was a Methodist minister. His wife was Annie Lockhart. He is believed to have served at a church in the North Sydney area. I do not know when he may have arrived, or how long he may have stayed in Cape Breton. He possibly went on to Yarmouth. By the early 1930's, he was at Barrington, NS. He died in Massachusetts in the late 1930's. One child of his was possibly a Frank W. Hickey born circa 1879 at North Sydney. He may have had at least two other children - D. Harold and Florence, birth-dates and places unknown. Florence had a child circa 1900, so she may have been born ca. 1875 or so. I would like to make contact with anyone who might have some information on this family. Or, I would appreciate any leads towards Methodist churches in the Sydney/North Sydney area where David Hickey might have served as minister.Date: Thu Jan 17 18:32:21 2002

Qrytext: Looking for information on the dates of death of Henry (Harry) Edward Jackson and his wife Elizabeth Maria (Hardy). They died in their thirties in North Sydney but I can't find any dates or places of burial. I am the descendant of their oldest daughter Sarah (Sadie). I am also trying to locate their oldest son Daniel who reportedly moved to the US, but no idea where or when. After their deaths, their two oldest children were raised by their grandmother Susan (Roper) Jackson and the two youngest children were raised by their mother's brother and his wife James and Lizzie Hardy of Igonish.

Came to Cape Breton with his father in the Brig "St. Nicholas", landing in St. Peter's in 1820 and settled at East of West Bay, then known as St. George's Channel. He is survived by his wife Jemima MacKay. They were married in 1826 by the celebrated Mr. McDonald, the first Presbyterian Minister who visited that part of the county. Mr. Nicholson sold his farm at West Bay and moved to Sporting Mountain about 30 years ago. He was for many years an elder of the Presbyterian Congregation at West Bay.

My great grandfather married Janet Hunter Caldwell (daughter of Allan Caldwell and Martha Anderson, also of Sydney Mines)in Boston and they lived their all their lives. They had two children, my grandfather George Allan Burchell and a daughter Edith Caldwell Burchell Goodwin.

At some point she came to Massachusetts, and had a son(my father) at Melrose-Wakefield Hospital on March 30, 1916. The father was listed on the birth certificate as Ralph Smith, a farmer in Saugus, Massachusetts. The son, my father, was raised in Saugus, Massachusetts by Fred Corson on Vine Street. My father's name was Paul Corson. On his birth certificate he was listed as Baby Smith. There is a picture of my father, as a very small boy, with Margaret Morrison. So, she was with him for at least a little while after his birth. But, then there is no other information. She may have died(although no death record could be found for her in Massachusetts), or have left him for some reason and gone back to Cape Breton. This is a shot in the dark, but I'm hoping someone, somewhere, may know something about this story, or have some information. Since my father was born in 1916, Margaret may have been born around the turn of the century, or earlier. Saugus, the town which is listed as the father's residence, is just North of Boston, and next to Lynn, Massachusetts.

I live in Maine and am planning a trip to N.S. in Sept. of this year. I hope to hook up with some relatives. So far I have found 2.

His occupation likely farmer or shoemaker-repairer. He was married at some time. I have a record of his son Joseph born 10 Aug. 1834 in Massachusetts. Joseph married Mary McGlynn 16 Aug. 1861 in Binghampton N.Y. Had children and moved to Bronson, Florida by way of St. Louis, Mo and New Orleans, LA. died 6 March 1917 in Hillsboro Co., Fla. John had a daughter Ellen who married and moved to the Chicago, Il. area. He may have had a son Henry Wilson who was in the Binghampton N.Y. area in the 1860's and perhaps other children.

Her mother's name was Mother's name was Catherine. She also had 2 other brothers that were lost at sea. I don't know their names.
