Good morning, Barbara. Thanks again for your info on Susanna Feltham. I
believe your Susanna born in 1927 must be the one I have been looking for.
You mentioned that you have the marriage record of her parents, William and
Sarah. Can you please pass that along if you get a chance some time? Also,
besides her brother John Feltham, born in 1825, do you have another John
Feltham, a few years older, who might have been the one who married Hannah
Vincent of Cape Island in 1836? Maybe he was a brother of William. Best
regards, Rex Gibbons, St. John's, Newfoundland
