Bridget Brinnick

Notes:

Birth:
This birth year is an estimate. No other documents are likely to be found to verify when Bridget was born. Research indicates that she was likely the daughter of Richard Brinnick and Bridget?. White Point is about 15 kilometers from Trinity. Long abandoned, it was the site of the filming of the 2002 CBC TV mini-series "Random Passage".

Bridget married John Aspell 23 Sep 1814, Rider's Harbour, Trinity Bay, Newfoundland. John (son of Andrew Aspell and Bridget Mealey?) was born Abt 1790, Rider's Harbour, Trinity Bay, Newfoundland; died Aft 1849, Harbour Grace, Newfoundland. [Group Sheet]

Research Overview:
About the mid 1850s, James Aspell settled at Tar Cove, Cape Broyle, Newfoundland. Tar Cove is located on the north side of the bay, just inside the headland adjoining Brigus (South). In various surviving records, people who resided there were usually referred to as being in Cape Broyle however, at other times they were referred to as being in Brigus (South).

Voter:
The first record of the Aspell surname in Ferryland District was at Cape Broyle. James Aspell is listed at Cape Broyle in the 1859 Voter's List. Per the existing regulations of that era, an eligible voter had to be the male head of the household, at least 21 years old, and a resident for the past two years. Research indicates that James' brother, Patrick married Elizabeth Meany (of Ferryland) at St. John's in 1854 however, it is unknown if he moved there at that time. While Patrick's name appears at Ferryland in later records, his name does not appear in any of the Ferryland District Voter's Lists up to 1859.

Residence:
In both Lovell's 1871 Directory and McAlpine's 1870-71 Directory, James Aspell, fisherman, is recorded as living in Cape Broyle.

Died:
Address given as George Street, St. John's.

James married Teresa Sullivan Abt 1844. Teresa was born Abt 1819, Trinity, Trinity Bay, Newfoundland; died 17 Apr 1899, St. John's, Newfoundland; was buried 19 Apr 1899, Mount Carmel Cemetery, St. John's, Newfoundland. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Baptism:

Residence:
Andrew Aspell listed as member of a petty jury at Harbour Grace.

Voter:
Andrew appears in the Voter's Lists at Harbour Grace starting in the mid 1850s through to the mid 1860s. His place of abode per the voter's lists was Kerry Lane. He was first recorded there in the 1855 voter's list and last listed there in the 1865 voter's list. In that list, after his name, is an update notation saying "St. John's", indicating he had (presumably) moved to that city. However, in 1871 he was actually living at Cape Broyle in Ferryland District.

Research Overview:
In the two Newfoundland business directories published for 1870 and 1871, two Aspell men, James and Andrew, were listed as heads of households at Cape Broyle. We know from the St. John's newspapers that Andrew, who died at Brigus South in 1887, was noted as a native of Harbour Grace. His calculated birth year, 1818 or 1819, matches with Andrew, the son of John Aspell and Bridget Brinnick, who was baptized at Riders Harbour, Trinity Bay in 1819.

Property:
Andrew Asple (sic) given Crown Land Grant # 3274 just east of Tar Cove, near Admiral's Cove, Cape Broyle, Newfoundland.

Notes:

Research Overview:
Richard Aspell, who was born at Rider's Harbor in 1820, was obviously named after his maternal grandfather and uncle, both of whom were named Richard. Aside from his baptism record, there is no mention of Richard Aspell until he married Hannah Bradbury at St. John's in 1855. There were several other Richard Aspells mentioned in the St. John's church records. One Richard was the son of Peter Archbold/Aspell, from a family who came directly from Co. Wexford in the early 1800s. That Richard died at age 25 and was not married. There was also another Irish born Richard Aspell who married at St. John's about 1852. However, after the birth of one son, he and his family moved to Boston.

Another Richard Aspell, who lived out his life at St. John's, was married to Catherine Power. Their children started appearing in the St.John's baptism records about 1852, however an earlier baptism record at Carbonear suggests they may have had roots in that town. It is likely that this Richard was from the Aspell family who had arrived directly from Co.Wexford and settled at Harbour Grace in the early 1800. None of the godparents at the baptisms of their children suggest any kinship to other Aspell families living at St.John's.

Church records show that two surviving children of Richard Aspell and Hanna Bradbury married and had children at St. John's. In the baptism records of the children of their daughter, Elizabeth and son, Richard Jr., obvious kinship is indicated to other branches of the Aspell family. The names of children of their first cousin, John Aspell (and first wife Margaret Luby), appear as godparents for some of the children of Elizabeth and Richard Jr. Likewise, Elizabeth, her husband Patrick Scurrey (aka Sculley), and brother Richard show up in the baptisms records for children of Thomas Aspell; John and Margaret Aspell's only son.

Elizabeth was married to Patrick Scurrey who had been an agent for Goodridge & Sons at Brigus South. Two of their children eventually moved to Cape Broyle to live with Patrick's brother (or first cousin?), Michael, who had married and settled there. It appears that for a number of years before she died in 1899, Teresa (Sullivan) Aspell (John's mother) lived with Elizabeth and Patrick Scurrey and their family.


Baptism:
Surname spelled Asbell. Godparents were John and Eleanor Mullally.

Richard married Hannah "Anna" Bradbury 9 Sep 1855, St. John's RC (Basilica) Parish, St. John's, Newfoundland. Hannah was born Abt 1830; died Abt 9 Apr 1889, St. John's, Newfoundland; was buried Abt 11 Apr 1889. [Group Sheet]

Died:
I was unable to determine where and when Patrick died. It appears that Elizabeth moved to Montreal about 1900.

Patrick married Elizabeth Meaney 24 Apr 1853, St. John's, Newfoundland. Elizabeth (daughter of Thomas Meaney and Bridget? Meaney) was born Abt 1833, Ferryland, Newfoundland; died 2 Jul 1920, Montréal, Quebec, Canada; was buried 5 Jul 1920, Notre-Dame-des-Neiges Cemetery, Montréal, Quebec, Canada. [Group Sheet]

Other Events:

• Research Overview: 1829, Rider's Harbour, Trinity Bay, Newfoundland
• Baptism: 30 Sep 1829, King's Cove RC Parish, Bonavista Bay, Newfoundland

Notes:

Research Overview:
This individual has been very hard to verify but in going through the records he seems to fit the Joseph Aspell who was born at Riders Harbour, Trinity Bay, Newfoundland in 1829. The main issue is that the year of birth given for Joseph in two Canadian censuses is about five years younger than he actually would have been. However, given the fact that census records are notorious for incorrect dates, ages, etc. I believe this Joseph is a likely candidate. Although Joseph married at St. John's, he moved his family to Addington, Restigouche, New Brunswick, Canada in the early 1870s. He and his family were recorded there in the 1881 and 1891 Canada censuses but no record of any of them could be found in the 1901 Canada Census or thereafter.

Baptism:
Surname spelled Asbell. Godparents were John Sullivan and Winifred Connors.

Joseph married Margaret Hynes 5 May 1857, St. John's RC (Basilica) Parish, St. John's, Newfoundland. Margaret was born Abt 1833, Newfoundland; died Yes, date unknown. [Group Sheet]

Other Events:

• Baptism: 15 Sep 1844, Trinity, Trinity Bay, Newfoundland

Notes:

Baptism:
Honora's godparents were Patrick Sullivan & Mary Sullivan but no specific location/parish was identified in the record. It was found at the The Rooms Archives in a collection that is labeled Bonavista-Trinity Roman Catholic - Baptisms - Box 3. The records takes in a number of settlements within Bonavista and Trinity Bay. Research indicates that the baptism was in likely in Trinity.

Died:
No reference is found to Honora after her baptism but the subsequent naming of a daughter of her sibling, John Aspell, suggests that she may have died young.

Other Events:

• Research Overview: 1845, Harbour Grace, Newfoundland
• Property: 1870, Tar Cove, Cape Broyle, Newfoundland

Notes:

Birth:
In the second marriage record of his eldest daughter, Nora, in Nova Scotia, John's place of birth was given as Harbour Grace, Newfoundland. His approx. year of birth is based on his age (67) given in his Newfoundland Vital Statistic Death record.

Research Overview:
Research has led me to conclude that this John Aspell was the son of James Aspell and Teresa Sullivan. The presence of the name Theresa/Teresa in the baptisms of two of John's daughters strongly suggests that kinship. However, I cannot be 100% sure since I have been unable to find documented proof.

Other Events:

• Baptism: 7 Aug 1859, St. John's RC (Basilica) Parish, St. John's, Newfoundland

Notes:

Birth:
People tend to think that the use of "Joseph" is an error and that it should be Josephine. However, for a number of years it was quite common in Roman Catholic families to use "Joseph" as a second name. This was considered an adoration of St. Joseph, the husband of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Mary married James McDonald 18 Sep 1882, Notre-Dame-du-Bon-Conseil, Montréal, Quebec, Canada. James was born 12 Feb 1866, St. John's, Newfoundland; died Aft 1921. [Group Sheet]

• Research Overview: 1846, Harbour Grace, Newfoundland

Notes:

Birth:
The 1921 Newfoundland Census says she was born at Harbour Grace in Nov. 1846.

Research Overview:
This person was identified to me, by my mother, as Aunt Fanny Anthony. My understanding is that she was the sister of my great-grandmother Bridget (Aspell) O'Brien. Based on DNA tests in 2017, of one of Bridget's great granddaughters, Frances and Bridget were verified as being sisters. The surviving records, relative to her marriage to Abraham Anthony, and the subsequent baptisms of their children, appear to do little to clarify her maiden name. She is referred to in associated records as the "widow Aspell". This identification, used in this fashion, would generally indicate that Fanny had initially been married to an unnamed Aspell male before she married Abraham Anthony. However, if she was an Aspell to start with, then, of course, it was also her maiden name.

At Ferryland, in the Holy Trinity RC parish records, there is only one entry with her name recorded as Frances Aspwell [sic]. She is recorded as the godmother of Thomas Joseph Batcock of Brigus [South] who was baptised in Aug 1876. The godfather was Pat Scully [aka Scurrey] who would later marry Elizabeth Aspell, likely Fanny's first cousin. Fanny's mixed marriage to Abraham Anthony is recorded on Sep. 16, 1878 at St. Mary's Anglican Church on the South Side of St. John's. In the marriage register, she is recorded as Frances Aspell, widow.

The baptisms of their children indicates that there was a lack of agreement as to which religion their children would be raised. Although initially baptised in the Anglican faith, there are later records which show that all of their children were also baptised in the Roman Catholic faith. In the Anglican baptism records, where the inclusion of the mother's maiden name appears optional, Fanny/Frances is recorded as the "widow Aspell". In the Roman Catholic records she is usually identified as Frances Aspell.

In 1965, Fanny's youngest daughter,Mary, who was living in Somerville, Massachusetts requested an official copy of her birth certificate from the RC parish in St.John's, Newfoundland. On the certificate, her mother's name is recorded as "Fannie (Aspel) Anthony".

Died:
There are two entries for Frances in the Vital Statistic death records. One gives her age as 88, the other says her age was 86.

Frances married unknown Aspell Yes, date unknown. unknown was born Yes, date unknown; died Yes, date unknown; was buried Yes, date unknown. [Group Sheet]

Frances married Abraham Anthony 16 Sep 1878, St. Mary's Anglican Church, St. John's, Newfoundland. Abraham was born Abt 1852; died 14 Mar 1920, St. John's, Newfoundland; was buried Abt 16 Mar 1920, Forest Road Anglican Cemetery, St. John's, Newfoundland. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Birth:
In the 1921 Newfoundland Census, Bridget's sister, Margaret (O') Driscoll of Tors Cove, stated that she was born at Carbonear in Aug 1853. Due to loss of the church records, I could not find baptism information for Bridget, so it seems likely she too was born in the Carbonear/Harbour Grace area.

Buried:
Bridget's headstone says she was 52 when she died, however, her Vital Statistics death record says she was 58, therefore indicating she was born about 1852.

Died:
Bridget's Vital Statistics death record says she was born at Caplin Bay, however this information is incorrect.

Bridget married Michael O' Brien 25 Apr 1877, Holy Trinity RC Parish, Ferryland, Newfoundland. Michael was born Abt 1844; died Abt 12 Apr 1889, Caplin Bay, Newfoundland; was buried Abt 14 Apr 1889, Holy Trinity RC Cemetery, Ferryland, Ferryland District, Newfoundland, Canada. [Group Sheet]

The Evening Telegram reported on Jan 17, 1917 that "J. Aspell, of Cape Broyle, a married man" and another man, Hubert Score, of St. John's had been washed overboard and drowned from the schooner, Artizan. The article does not indicate the exact date, or location of this mishap, but speculates that it was probably in a storm that occured on Dec. 26/27, 1916. The Artizan, under Capt. J. Callahan, had left St. John's to cross the Atlantic on Dec 26, 1916 with a full cargo of codfish for foreign markets.

Notes:

Birth:
Date of birth per his military records.

Military:
Peter joined the Canadian Overseas Expeditionary Force (C.E.F.) under the 199th Battalion CEF Irish Canadian Rangers.. He indicated that he had already been a member of the 55th Irish Canadian Rangers. He was not the typical soldier since he was almost 42 when he joined, married with five children and one more on the way. Actually at one point, he and the military came to the conclusion that he must have been older, possibly 47 or 49. At any rate, Peter never saw any action, since his service records show he had rheumatism/arthritis most of the time so he was kept in England. He was finally discharged from the military on 18 Jan. 1818.

Peter married Catherine Joseph "Kate" Aspell 19 Aug 1902, St. Ann's Parish, Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

In 1893 Kate and Norah Aspell were passengers on the Portia sailing from St. John's to Halifax were they intended to be domestics. Catherine may have returned to Newfoundland again before she finally decided to live in Canada. In 1901, Kate was working as a waitress in Montreal.

Births, Deaths and Marriages in Newfoundland Newspapers 1810-1890

On the 17 July 1886, St. John's newspapers carried a death notice for "Maggie Aspenell", daughter of John and Margaret Aspenell. Her age is given as 3 yrs. and 2 months. No location is given, which generally indicates that the event occurred at St. John's. This is the only instance of a surname spelled Aspenell that I could find in any Newfoundland records, so it seems likely that it was an incorrect spelling of the surname Aspell. The age and parent's names strongly support the deduction that this was Margaret Anne Aspell who was born in June of 1883.
