Re: Obit: McCULLEY, Geraldine A [HATFIELD]

Eric and Pam:

I agree with Eric, there's lots of connections within these McCully's,
either by blood or through marriage.

Although not actively researching these particular McCully's, I do have one
correction though.

Emerson Frederick McCully m/1 Ethel Gladys Newcombe; m/2 Ruby Leota
MacGillivary; not the other way around.

Emerson Frederick McCully m/1 Ethel Gladys Newcombe 20 Oct 1925 in the
Baptist Church in Parrsboro by Rev. Lyttle. Ethel petitions for a divorce
from Emerson on the grounds Emerson committed adultery with Ruby while still
married to her. Divorce was granted 26 Jan 1934 at Halifax.

Emerson and Ethel have issue of Elizabeth "Lizzie" Newcombe McCully, born 22
Nov 1927. Emerson later marries Ruby while Ethel later marries Clarence Leon
Fiendel. Elizabeth Newcombe McCully marries Hugh Carleton Jenkins 14 Sep
1946 in Parrsboro.

Emerson and Ruby have issue of Morris McCully, born about 1934 and drowns 29
Apr 1936 in Ward's Brook and Stewart "Stu" McCully, born about 1937 and dies
18 Apr 1990 in Barrie, Ont.

Clarence and Ethel have issue of Lois-Jean Augusta Fiendel, born 21 Jul
1936. Possibility only Clarence had a previous relationship before marrying
Ethel with issue of Amy Ettia Fiendel. Otherwise, Amy is issue of Clarence
and Ethel.

See supporting data below. I have a few Baptisms I'll send you both off
line, if requested, as several of these people are still living.

Pam:

Seymore McCulley & Frederick Emmerson McCulley were brothers. Seymore is
the father of Gertrude May, Fred is father to Sarah Ellen, mother of
Geraldine. This should make Geraldine & Gertrude as first cousins, once
removed.

Geraldine's husband, Leslie William McCulley, was s/o William Abram
McCulley, another brother to Seymore & Frederick.

And, as Dave points out, Geraldine's paternal aunt Ella Delphenia Hatfield
married Brenton Samuel McCulley, a son of Seymore and brother to Gertrude
May.

Connected? Let me count the ways...
