Dear Allison,
I have some information on the family you are looking for.
James Mercer (b. 1829 Bay Roberts - d. 1906) married Rebecca Peddle (b. 1839 - d. 1914). Their children, to the best of my knowledge, were William (b. 1861), James (b. 1862 - d. 1900 Sydney, NS), Mary Jane (b. 1863), James (b. 1866), Patience 9 (b. 1869), Robert (b. 1871 - d. 1951), Susannah, and Henry. Patience married James Saunders. Robert married Emma Elizabeth Badcock.
The two James children don't look correct. Need to check into that more...
Here is a note from someone that might help:
"Just wondering if you have anymore info on the Bowerings. My mother was a Bowering from Bay Roberts. So I have a direct interest in that family.
Also I am related to the Mercer's of Bay Roberts. My great-great grandmother was Paitence Mercer b.1870 d. 13 Jan. 1958, she married James Saunders b. 20 Sept. 1867 d. 23 Apr. 1953. Paitence was the daughter of James Mercer and Rebecca Peddle b.?? d. 15 Jun. 1914. I don't know if they are any relation to you or if you have came across there names. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Also after Sept. 7 I will have a new e-mail address. This box will be closed, so please forward any correspondences to [email protected]."
