Events

•  Occupation: Commission Merchant, St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. 

•  Residence: Winterholme, 79 Rennie's Mill Rd., 1904, St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. WINTERHOLME
Winterholme is the grandest Queen Anne style house, and the largest and most opulent mansion in Newfoundland. It was begun in 1904 to the designs of Newfoundland architect, William F. Buder, and built by the contracting firm of M. and E. Kennedy. It was built for Sir Marmaduke Winter at the climax of a period when the increasing prosperity of Newfoundland's merchant families found its expression in domestic architecture.
Descended from the Winter family (who built Winterton on Winter Ave), Sir Marmaduke's father was the customs officer at Lamaline. Marmaduke and his brother Thomas moved to St. John's sometime during the 1830s, and founded the firm of T. and M. Winter Limited. Another brother. Sir James Spearman Winter, served in various political roles as an MHA, Speaker of the House, Attorney General, and Prime Minister of Newfoundland. His grandson, the Hon. Gordon A. Winter, was Lieutenant-Governor of Newfoundland from 1974 to 1981.
Winterholme has the massive proportions characteristic of the Queen Anne style of architecture. It exhibits double bay windows in the facade, the decorative shingling, and a turret, all associated with the style. A magnificent leaded glass front door, and curved glass windows are also featured in the building. Inside, the elaborate plaster decorations and hand-carved woodwork were made in England and shipped to Newfoundland in pieces for installation at the site.
Sir Marmaduke Winter died in 1936 and his widow occupied the house until 1939 when it was leased to the Canadian Army for use as offices and an officers' mess during World War II, on condition that it be left in its original state on termination of the lease. After the war, Sir Marmaduke's son used the house as a private residence until 1960 when it was sold and converted into seven apartments. Now a bed and breakfast, it is still well-preserved and the original plaster and woodwork are essentially intact.

Marriage Notes 




281007: From Dartmouth Family History Archive website: 28/2/1775: Henry FOAL & Mary WINTER, by Licence.  No 100 Both Sign.        Wits; Philip Winter & Richard Blackler.

Note that bother were literate. Philip can be assumed to be her brother. Note again the association between the Foal(e) family and Blacklerfamily.
Notes
General:
081106:

I am speculating that Henry Foal and Philip Folae were in fact brothers and that after the death of Philip, Henry married his widow. But then she should have been named Mary Foale on the register and not her maiden name Mary Winter. This needs to be examined in the original register for verification.
