This is a very old thread so the author may not even check this, but just in case: I trace my line to a Rachel Andrews born around 1844 in Bareneed, not far from Brigus. Rachel married Abraham Morgan in 1866 in Port de Grave, and the two witnesses were named George and Elizabeth Andrews. We haven’t been able to determine how they were related to her: parents would be the first guess, but a brother and sister-in-law would also be plausible. Another interesting fact is that Rachel named a son George Henry and a daughter Elizabeth (although admittedly, most families seemed to have the latter). That George Henry Morgan was my great grandfather.
I’d be interested in connecting (ericdann@me.com). I am descended from a Rachel Andrews, who named Ship Cove as her residence when she married Abraham Morgan in Port de Grave, on December 12, 1866. I haven’t been able to trace any further back in her line, but I would suspect that she is a relation of some sort to the Robert you mention. My family thinks Rachel was born around 1844 in Bareneed (near Ship Cove). The witnesses to her marriage were George Andrews and Elizabeth Andrews, although we don’t know their exact relation to Rachel.
