Generation: 1

  1. 1.  Ellen Evoy was born Bef 1840, Caplin Bay, Newfoundland; died Aft 1869, Caplin Bay, Newfoundland; was buried Yes, date unknown.

    Notes:

    Catherine Evoy's Letters of Administration petition identifies Ellen as the daughter of Patrick Evoy. Although there are some suggestions that Ellen may have had several brothers, it appears that John Evoy was her only brother. In 1864, the Evoy property at Caplin Bay was still in the possession of Patrick's wife, Catherine, but it appears it was later passed on to Ellen (Evoy) and her husband, Robert Swain Jr.

    Robert and Ellen Swain's only son, John, moved away and died in 1894. Their daughters, Mary (Polly Ledwell), Elizabeth (Liz Miskill) and Catherine (Kate Walsh) eventually inherited this property. Elizabeth and Catherine married and lived in St. John's and sold their share of the property to the Sullivans. The share, belonging to Mary, who married Sebastian Ledwell from Little Placentia, remained within the Ledwell family.

    Ellen married Robert Swain Abt 1857. Robert (son of Robert Swain and Elizabeth "Betsy" Bryan) was born Abt 1830, Stone Island, Caplin Bay, Newfoundland; died 9 Jan 1909, Caplin Bay, Newfoundland; was buried Abt 11 Jan 1909, Holy Trinity RC Cemetery, Ferryland, Ferryland District, Newfoundland, Canada.

    • Baptism: 30 Dec 1859, Holy Apostles Parish, (Fermeuse/Renews), Newfoundland
    • Residence: 1894, Little Bay, Notre Dame Bay, Newfoundland

    Notes:

    Baptism:
    There appears to be two entries in the Holy Apostles baptisms for this individual - Dec 30 1859 and July ?? 1860. The godfather is listed the same, but one says the godmother was Sarah Kehoe and the other entry says Catherine Kehoe.

    Residence:
    Swain, John - fisherman - Little Bay Harbour.

    Died:
    It appears that John left Caplin Bay in the 1880s and went to work in the copper mines at Little Bay, on the western shores of Notre Dame Bay, Newfoundland. Little Bay, once called Indian Bight, is a community 16 kms north of Springdale, Newfoundland. When the copper reserves started to deplete in the early 1890s, many of the miners who had settled there, also worked at their previous livelihood - fishing. This appears to have been John's situation. However, John was killed in a mining accident in 1894. His occupation at the time of his death was listed as a smelter. His widow, Mary, is listed as still living in Indian Bight (Little Bay) in 1898.

    Other Events:

    • Census: 1921, St. John's, Newfoundland

    Notes:

    Birth:
    No baptism record could be found at Ferryland or Renews for Elizabeth. In the 1921 Newfoundland Census, her birth month and year was recorded as Jun 1877. However in the 1935 Newfoundland Census, her age was given as 66. That age indicates that she was born abt. 1869. Her Vital Statistics death record says she was 71 when she died in 1943 (b. abt. 1872). Given that no baptism record was found at Holy Trinity RC Parish, it appears 1869 may be her most credible year of birth.


    Census:
    Newfoundland Census 1921- St. John's West

    MISKILL, Frank M Head Married 1876 Sept 45 St.John's
    MISKILL, Elizabeth F Wife Married 1877 June 44 Caplin Bay
