>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
160119:
On the "original" Petty Harbour register, which is more probably a copy of the register in each of the churches for which Petty Harbour served from time to time as a record depository, I have discovered that two sons, Frederick Mainwaring Tessier and Gladstone James Tessier were a twin, both born on 2 April 1915 and both Christened at St. Luke's in Ferryland by John Hewitt on April 10 1915. I photographed this register in Box 2 of the Petty Harbour register photocopies at The Rooms in July 2018. Although these dates are different from those I had found on the NGB transcript of the DPHW transcripts for Frederick Mainwaring and although I had not known previously of the existence of his twin brother, Gladstone James, I have no reason not to accept this as the most factual and likely correct information available so I am entering it today.

Marriage Notes

041118:

Her sister was married to one of the Ayres. This may have been the connection through which the adoption of baby Gertrude Louise was arranged.

041118:

The above information came for Harcourt (Buzz) Gardiner's family tree of his wife Gertrude Louise Mews, referred to above. Here, from his contributed Pedigree Resource File on FamilySearch.com is more on this topic:

"Her sister was married to one of the Ayres. This may have been the connection through which the adoption of baby Gertrude Louise was arranged.

I believe Gert's adoption was arranged. Violet was a young girl, working in Bertha's home, pregnant and Harold was the father. Bertha's sister was married to the Ayre of Ayre and sons. Leonard [Mews -- i.e. Gertrude's adopted father] was a trusted employee who had just married and according to rumour his wife had just miscarried. Len was promoted and given 50,000 in Ayre shares just at this time.

The Tessiers, including Harold's brothers, seemed to take an interest in her as a young married woman. Harold knew exactly where to find her and had been following her career. It looks like a private adoption was arranged and probably through Bertha and her sister. This family was
renouned for its good works."
