Samuel Foulds & Ann Calder family error

Post by The Old Medic » Wed Jun 24, 2020 6:15 pm

The genealogy posted has one major error.

There was no daughter named "Mary Ann". There were TWO daughters:

1. Mary Foulds, baptized 11 Apr 1830 at St. John's. She married James Johnston (Metis or Native) on 14 December 1854 at St. James. I descend from their daughter, Jemima Johnston.

2. Ann Foulds (also known as Jane) baptized 3 Apr 1832 at St. James. She married Robert Flett.

Samuel Foulds and Nancy Ann Calder had 15 children, all but 1 of them lived, married and had families of their own.

For some reason, James Johnston (about 1805-1810) to 1859 is NOT mentioned. His son James Johnston (1847-1892) married Sarah Atkinson, and they had 6 children, all of whom adopted the spelling "Johbnstone".

I would love to know who James Johnston's parents and /or siblings were. So far, I have not been able to discover even a decent clue.

The baptism of Mary Foulds, daughter of Samuel Foulds and Nancy Ann Calder, can be found in the Charles Denney papers at the Glencoe Archives.

The Hudson's Bay Company records show her baptism, but for some reason they do not have her name.

She was an older sister to Ann Foulds, who married Robert Flett. For some reason, this site melds the two women into one erroneous person.

Mary Foulds married 1st, James Johnston as his 2nd wife.

They had two children, Joseph Johnston 1851-1892, who married Sarah Atkinson and Jemima Johnston 1858-1916 (my paternal great-grandmother) who married Alexander Black.

Mary Fouds marries 2nd, Thomas Franklin, and they had 4 children.
