Morning Edward IV.
Your William born 1864 and died 1926 was born where? and died in which location? Any spouse(s) you can identify?
Likewise on any additional information you can offer on Edward 1897-1964. Do you have an obituary that mentions any names.
Warm regards from life in the deep freeze in Calgary. -28C this morning.
Does your Bruce Snow have a tree associated with his FTDNA result or an e-mail address? I have no idea who he may be. Not in my database.
Yes, the connections are hidden in the myths and mists of time. I had a short back and forth with you on Facebook in December past but haven’t done anything with those Snows since that time.
If I dig up additional info I’ll be in touch.

Hi Rachael
I have been working on your family this past week. Send me a note at geoffgmartin@yahoo.com and we can compare notes.
The oral tradition (undocumented) of the Harbour Grace Martins is an origin from the Channel Islands. My Martin roots hail from Harbour Grace and I can document the Channel Islands bit. However, my Martins were all Church of England.
Nonetheless there were Catholic Martins in Harbour Grace.

NGB Death Register indicates this Elizabeth was age 79 at death so born circa 1844. She was the mother of your Azariah.
The previous Elizabeth who died 1914 was age 76 so born a tad earlier circa 1838.

You may want to revisit your theory that William was married twice based on link above.
NB Azariah Russell, a son of William and Elizabeth, married Henrietta Fradsham, a daughter of Horatio who is mentioned above.
Hi Lisa,
I suspect that Louisa Tucker may have been a daughter of Henry and Elizabeth Tucker of Harbour Grace. Send me a note on my personal e-mail geoffgmartin@yahoo.com and we can discuss.
