Hi Denise,
According to the 1881 Canada Census at St. John, N.B., Charles Damery was b. 1836 in Ireland & was m. to Sarah, b. 1841 in N.B.Children: William James 16, Andrew 12, Catherine 10, Thomas 9, Joseph Francis 7, Frederick 4 & Albert Edward 4 (all children b. in N.B.).
Also in the household was Catherine Howes, 67, a widow b. in Ireland.
My wife's line ties in with Joseph Francis Damery's wife, Ida Josephine Sutherland, dau. of Enoch & Elizabeth D. (Ormiston) Sutherland.Joseph & Ida m. 31 Aug 1902 in Springfield, Hampden, MA, USA.Their marriage registration (photo available on familysearch.com) indicates that his mother's maiden name was Sarah Howes which confirms that Catherine Howes in the 1881 census was Sarah Damery's mother.
Minor note: the marriage registration document mentioned above indicates that Ida's mother was Ruth Armstrong when it should say "step-mother".Ida was b. in late 1882.Her father, Enoch, m2 Ruth in 1887, five years later.
Regards,
Curt
