I added two headstones found in St. Matthew’s Anglican Church Cemetery on Baker Road, Marie Joseph. They were for Second World War veterans William ‘Roger’ Breen and Clod ‘Leonard’ Courtney Tibert, and their wives.
My uncle Leonard served with the North Nova Scotia Highlanders and landed on the beaches of Normandy on D-Day. He was severely wounded on D-Day +1 and was eventually returned to Canada. The ‘Clod’ as his first name appeared in the family Bible. He dropped it and never used it again.
The obituaries for these two men are also on site.

Also added to the site today were two marriage records. They were for…
- Jane Ann Patterson who married Henry Charles Edward Baylis on December 21, 1871 at Fairfield, Dartmouth, NS.
- Jane Malay who married Jacob Emery Croft on October 29, 1901 at Gegoggin, Guysborough County, NS.
Two death records added today were for…
- Jacob Emery Croft, the son of Hannah Elizabeth Mailman and Henry Croft, who died April 4, 1954 at West Liscomb, Guysborough County, NS. He was 79 years old. The record states he was born on January 13, 1875, and that he worked as a fisherman for 55 years. He was married to Jane at the time. He was buried in the West Liscomb Cemetery, which is located near Slate Rock. I’ve been to Slate Rock many times, and one day when I learned about the few headstones in this small cemetery, I attempted to find it. However, it was grown in, and after searching for an hour, we still didn’t find it. I hope to return this summer, find it and take pictures of the stones.
- Hannah Elizabeth Mailman died April 12, 1916 at the age of 77 years. She married Henry Croft and was Jacob Emery Croft’s mother. Her death record states she was born at Gegoggin, NS. She was buried at St. Luke’s Anglican Church Cemetery, Liscomb.
