Hi Richard,
WOW! Your message is chock full of helpful references for a relatively new Nova Scotia researcher like myself.
I believe I may have found Mary Alice's parents, with the help of Geoff Trowbridge at http://www.maplenet.net/~trowbridge/genealogy.htm
Clifford & Mary Alice's marriage record at www.newenglandancestors.org lists her parents as "Samuel and Marion C.", but Geoff pointed out the following marriage record and other corroborating information:
"7 April 1872 in Tusket, Yarmouth County, NS:
Simon Dulong, age 33, widow, son of Marthin Dulong and Colhasty LeBlanc married to Marine Cleremont, age 35, widow, daughter of David Clairmont and Mary Doucet.
Of course, this doesn't exactly match up with your information about Mary's parents, but it's awfully close. It's within the realm of possibility that "Simon" was mistakenly recorded as "Samuel" on Mary's marriage record, and "Marine Cleremont" could certainly be "Marion C." And I know precisely who these folks are: Simon was the son of Olivier Martin Dulain (b. 8 Nov 1799) and Scholastique LeBlanc (b. 14 Dec 1800), while Marine was the daughter of Francois David Clermont (b.16 Nov 1806) and Marie Helene Doucet (b. 20 Jun 1815).
Furthermore, the 1881 census record for the family (in Tusket, Yarmouth Co.) shows a daughter named "Alice", age 6."
I explored Geoff's suggestion, and found Simon & Marine/Marion Dulain/Dulong in Melrose, Massachusetts censuses:
1900 - Berwick Street, listed as Dulong
1910 - Waverly Place, listed as D'Long
1920 - Linwood Avenue, listed as Odong
Also in Melrose directories for the years 1886, 1900, 1902, 1905-06, 1922 & 1924. Some of the listings also had Simon Jr. and other Dulongs.
Richard - Thank you again.
Laurie
