Greetings!
Last month there were several posting concerning George Fraser of Fraserville and his foster daughter Bernice Jessie (Lewis) Collins. (Eric and Dave - thank you) She was the d/o Oliver and Jessie Lewis and was born 25 Oct 1913 in Advocate Harbour, yet the only references I can find for Oliver Lewis are below.

1901 automated genealogy
Family #189 - Town of Amherst
Oliver Lewis M Head M 15 Mar 1872 29
Maude Lewis F wife M Jan 1880 21
Myrtle Lewis F daughter S 11 Aug 1900
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cumberland County marriages:
Lewis, Oliver Morris, 27, single, living in Amherst, born Advocate Harbour
s/o ????? & ?????
--------married on 5 Feb 1900, Cumb. Co., N.S. to--------
Lockhart, Maud Ann, 21, single, living in Amherst, born Saint John, N.B.
d/o ????? & ????
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
N.B.P.A.
9 Feb 1892 Saint John, N.B.
Born to Oliver Lewis and Maud Lockhart, a male child (unnamed)
9 Feb 1902 Saint John, N.B.
Born to Oliver Lewis and Maud Lockhart, a male child (unnamed)
****I believe the second one is a correction of the date on the first*****

In 1901, they are in Amherst, in 1902, they appear to be in Saint John, N.B.. and then to Advocate Harbour by 1913. I assume this is the same Oliver since the daughter, Myrtle, in the 1901 census, is mentioned in Bernice’s obit.
I would appreciate if anyone could tell me who the parents of Oliver Morris Lewis would be?
Thanks
Steve
