Ginny:
Don't know if you ever contacted Paul Brittain or Wilfred Allan after I replied in my previous posting, but I have just received some ELDRIDGE notes (the main line I am researching) from Eric Whitehouse, and I found your Burpee Brittain and wife Mary Allen in them.
Burpee was b. 1866 in Forest Glen, Yarmouth Co, NS., son of William Brittain (1840-1907) and Elizabeth Eldridge (1838-1916) who were likely married ca 1861. Burpee was # 3 of at least 9 children shown on this listing, the eldest William Brittain b. 22 Oct 1862, the youngest Nettie b. 1883. All were born in Forest Glen, YArm Co, NS, which today is part of the CARLETON telephone exchange area. Forest Glen is about 20 mi/32 km north-east of Yarmouth.
I have (a few) more notes about the Brittain and Eldridge lines from these notes, but unfortunately nothing more (that I can spot) about your Mary Allen.
Hope this helps a little.
