We stayed at Cantwell House on Queen's Street, which is about a block away from Moo Moo's Ice Cream, and I think it is King Street that goes down to the Harbour front. I will look on a map and try to confirm it.

I know. My Paternal Grandfather worked in Grand Falls when newly married.
When the quote, "Still Waiting" was made in 1928, it made me think of how
much we were promised, seduced but the "Marriage" never took place. In light
of the current Federal Accord Dilemma, I really believe we cannot afford to
give away one more precious Newfoundlander-Labradorian. Every time we have
done so in the past, we have given away "A Chip of The Old Block", so to
speak. God Bless. Anna

Hello everyone
I have some information on the surname Somerton and Jackman but I don't
have a William Somerton. Would anyone have information on this Somerton? I
also have a few Margaret Jackman's but I don't have the names of their
spouses. Can anyone tell me which Jackman family this Margaret is from? Is
she a sister to the Bridget Jackman that married John Sweeney? I have
siblings for the Bridget Jackman but there is no Margaret so far. I would
appreciate your help in this matter. Thank you all in adv

Couldn't help myself. As a Newfie, I have to encourage you regarding the
mail delivery in Nfld.
I winter in Mesa, Arizona during. Last January, I mailed a normal size
envelope to Phoenix. A mere 15-20 miles away. It arrived in early April. It
took over 7 weeks. There is no explanation that I know off. ( the dog team
must have died!) I missed attending an event because of it and since a
cheque was involved, I almost had to close my bank account and pay 'big
bucks' to put a stop payment on the cheque.

Hi, Doyle; I'm just catching up with some recent email. I was interested in
your recent email because I remember a Stewart Rose who used to paint walls
and hang wallpaper for my parents; this was in Richmond Hill, Queens, NY
City. Well, I have notes about him in my database, but rather than quote
them now, when it might be irrelevant, let me say who I think he was.
I think the Stewart Rose I remember was the son of an Alfred Rose--probably
the one from Western Bay South who moved to St. John's about 1904.
Because of it's length, this message is being sent in 5 parts
