• Notes

  Anthony was residing in 1841 in Black Torrington, Devon which is only 3 km south of Buckland Filleigh. The 1851 New Brunswick census gives his age as 40 (sic, s/b 50). His wife's immigration date is identical to his own, Oct 1841, thus they were likely married in England before immigrating. As Anthony was single when the census was taken in April 1841, this would make their marriage date between April - October 1841. No IGI record of such a marriage has been found, so it's also entirely possible they were married on the boat.
