Notes

I grew up in Medford, MA and knew Harold Adey well. He and his cousin Ida Adey/Addy gave me most of the family information for this generation, however I also got dates from the online vital records at http://ngb.chebucto.org I noticed that the youngest of Rachel's siblings is not listed.
Here are some notes:
His mother was pregnant with him when his father died.
He was raised by the Sheen family - the only Catholic family in Hants Harbor at the time.
He resided at
Ward 4, St John’s East
Merrymeeting Rd.
St. John’s, Newfoundland.
Here's what I have:
Rueben Adey

& Rose Ann Reid/Reed
b. 27 Nov 1868, Spaniard’s Bay, Newfoundland
