090621: From Jean Carter Stirling's transcript of Petty Harbour records


LeMessurier, George William,25, of St. John's, accountant and general Port Officer married on 2 October, 1888, Roberta Ann Morry, 25 of Caplin Bay, daughter of Robert Morry, merchant.

Notes
General:
140813: This spelling of her first name appears on the transcript of her birth record on NGB but has also been seen on labels of photographs of her so it may be they actually did spell it that way.

Information on this marriage and the resulting progeny came from the Descendants of Michel LeMessurier on the Family Tree Maker Homepage ofClive LeMessurier, Pine Bluffs, Wyoming:

Referred to there as "Bertha Morry" - see information under husband George William

In email from Enid O'Brien dated 3/11/99:

"Also, of note regarding Helena Morry is her sister, Roberta Morry (both dgts of Robert Morry/Victoria Winsor) married Frank Ernest LeMessurier's uncle, George Wm. LeMessurier. After Roberta died he married Marion Bradshaw. Frank was the son of Peter Wilson LeMessurier and Frances "Fannie" Hutchings, dgt of Monier Hutchings. Both George Wm LeMessurier and Peter Wilson LeMessurier are sons of George Hare LeMessurier and Elizabeth Brown."

Email from Anne LeMessurier Lilly dated 28/08/01:

"My great-grandfather Robert was a sea captain and was gone for months at a time. A diphtheria epidemic broke out in Ferryland. Robert andVictoria's children were stricken with the disease. Once one child had the disease, the family was quarantined in their home, because it was so contagious. There was no medical help. My great-grandmother nursed her 7 children as best she could, but in the space of one week, 6 died. People in the community passed a coffin in through the window of her home. She would have to place her child in the coffin and push it out the window. This happened 6 times. Because of the quarantine, she was not even permitted to go to their funerals. I wonder how she maintained her sanity! My great-grandfather returned from a voyage to a wife and one child - when he had departed, he had 7 children! I've known this story for years but it still moves me profoundly that they survived such a terrible tragedy. Would we be able to do so today?! Whata strong woman my great-grandmother must have been. Dad remembers heras an old lady wearing a lace cap on top of her head and sitting ramrod straight in her chair, even into her nineties. Only their eldest daughter, Bertha survived the illness. Helena, my grandmother, was born afterwards."

From the St. John's Daily News Fri. June 16, 1922 transcribed for NLGS by Chris and John Shelley 221201:

"LeMESSURIER - On Wednesday evening after a brief illness Robertha Ann, daughter of the late Robert and Victoria MORRY, and wife of George W. LeMESSURIER. Funeral this afternoon at 2.30 p.m. from her late residence, Masonic Terrace.

BDM reports that the marriage appeared on 09 Oct 1889 in: 1) Gazette (Royal Newfoundland Gazette) 1807- 2) Evening Mercury (then Evening Herald) 1882-1920

Bride was the daughter of Robert Morry, Caplin Bay. Groom was the son of George Lemessurier, Chief Clerk, General Post Office.

Marriage witnessed by Robert Morry, Alex LeMessurier, Mary Morry, John MacCallum Graham, Jane Josephine Morry and the Minister was Walter R. Smith (NLGS electronic copy of C of E Ferryland records).

180806:

According to BDM marriage was reported on 09 Oct 1888 in: 1) Gazette (Royal Newfoundland Gazette) 1807- 2) Evening Mercury (then Evening Herald) 1882-1920

Bride was the daughter of Robert Morry, Caplin Bay. Groom was the son of George Lemessurier, Chief Clerk, General Post Office.

020713: The Ann Coulman Winsor bible suggests the wedding took place in Caplin Bay, but that is less likely than that it took place in the Anglican Church then in existence in Ferrtyland And that is what other sources suggest.

020713:

In almost all places where her name is given she was known as "Bertha".

140813: No way of knowing when the birth date actually was as it was not recorded on the transcript of the register on NGB and on another transcript the baptismal date was mistakenly recorded as the birth date as above.

080116:
I have added St. Luke's as the place of Christening of the children in this family because it is most logical since the events were recorded at Petty Harbour C of E registry, not at the Cathedral in St. John's. 282

200806:

BDM reports similar information appearing on 18 Oct 1890 in: 1) Times and General Commercial Gazette 1832-1895 stating that Father was Henry Morey, Newfoundland Constabulary.

Birth date given was the same (14 Oct. 1890 and the location Fort Townsend, which makes sense at that is where the Nfld. Constabulary was based. The surname was spelled Morey in the papers too, as were spellings for other events in that family, so it is likely this was the preferred spelling in that family.

Notes
General:
111204: The 1930 Census lists her at home with her mother (father deceased 1926) at age 18, born about 1912. Her place of residence at the time of the census was: Seattle, King, Washington. Note that if this information were correct she would be a twin of Ellen M. Morry

060806: According to information written by brother on back of family portrait she was still Rose Morry in about 1958 and therefore I think it likely she never married or had children.

Notes
General:
Information from Dad (T. G. Morry), July 2004. I have no other record of this person's existence.

140723:

Because she died in Burnaby, BC but is show as being buried with her parents at Belvedere RC Cemetery in St. John's, Newfoundland, this raises the question of whether she is indeed buried in Newfoundland or simply memorialised on her parents gravestone.
