Email from Enid O'Brien dated 21/11/01:
"Hi Chris: Just to put your curiosity at rest regarding the Minty site I was actually researching the name Baird/Beard. My father was md X 2 and his first wife was a descendant of the Baird family."
301110 from Enid O'Brien:
Dad (James Stanford) was born Feb 27/1892 - 1/10/1956) in St. John's. The family lived on Tessier Place when he was born but were burned out with the great fire of 1892 when they moved to Water Street West., Mill Bridge Lane and later to 469 Southside Road when he married Mame Baker in 1913 and he remained there until he died. Dad was a very strong, big, gentle man. He worked at McKeen's Tannery on Waterford Bridge Road when he was married and was a sailor on the Sunset Glow from 1929-1939. This was a container schooner owned by Harvey and Company which went around the NL coast and Labrador picking up fish from plants. Among other things dad would do the hiring of men to load the ship when they reached port. He had many stories to tell about those days and particular about Labrador which was very primitive at that time. Later Harvey & Company was bought by Job Brothers and dad was foreman/manager for Job Brothers Cold Storage Division. He remained there until he died.
