DesBarres Family
I have a Lund link to the distinguished DesBarres family, as illustrated below. Frederick William Wallet DesBarres married Stella Lund in Sackville NB in 1945, when he was a 78 yr old grandfather! He had been a Methodist clergyman, became a history professor and author at Mount Allison University. It was Sella's first marriage, apparently she had been his student. His grandfather William and family lived in Halifax in 1881: they were Church of England, he was a Superior Court Judge. William's son Lewis was a lawyer there. I haven't found anything about FWW's father other than his name. Is there any connection here with your DesBarres family?
