As well, its hoped that this book will encourage contribution of DNA samples to the Churchill Y-DNA project. Direct male descendants can participate in this research, and it is currently the best hope for providing new insight into the relationships between the Churchil Families and to their ancestral origins. This collection of genealogical records, facts and stories are put together to provide a narrative to the history of Churchill Families of Newfoundland and their descendants. In some cases, conclusions are drawn from analysis and circumstantial evidence to accomplish this. Some readers may feel the conclusions are not warranted by the available facts, or may have reached different conclusions themselves. We warmly welcome conflicting opinions where they are backed by alternative analysis or additional information. Every effort has been made to ensure accuracy of the facts contained within. However, in the compilation process there have undoubtable been transcription errors. If you believe you have found such an error please contact me. Likewise, if you can provide additional information, stories, achievements, tragedies or other oral history of the descendants in this book or of ones that are overlooked, it is greatly appreciated and welcome. This book will be the greatest success when it can describe, beyond mere genealogical facts, the people who are the Churchills of Newfoundland and their descendants. Stephen Douglas Churchill, Editor [email protected] May 2018 viii May 17, 2018 [email protected] FOREWORD This book represents the culmination of decades of research by the author and others into the history of the Churchills of Newfoundland. The purpose of this book is foremost to provide as much information as can be found about the early Churchills who chose to emigrate to Newfoundland and beyond. Given the nature of English settlement—the migratory nature of the Newfoundland cod fishery, and the gradual European settlement of the island—the amount of early records is limited and the number surviving are fewer still. This work is a family history. It is not a strictly sourced genealogical record. Efforts have bene made to attribute facts to their source, but the work is not extensively footnoted. In some cases, analysis is used along with the existing records to provide a best-guess of the relationships and events. This is done to provide a reasonable narrative, but some research may hold different opinions about the conclusions. The second purpose of this book is to put forth a hypothesis on the relationship between the Churchill families of Newfoundland and the origins of those Churchills. While modern scientific analysis techniques, such as Y-DNA analysis are examined and can be used to determine if Churchill families are related, confirming the ancestral origins proves more difficult. It is with respect to the English ancestral origins that the most leaps are taken to overcome the missing facts. This book covers the earliest records of Churchills on Newfoundland up to modern day. Emphasis is placed on the periods which lack the most evidence, since this is where research and analysis is most beneficial. Families that are associated with the direct line of Churchills are included, but are generally not covered extensively. The records used in the research include baptism and marriage records from merchant diaries, shipping records, newspapers in Newfoundland and England, Churches (first established in the first half of the 1800s), birth, marriage, and death records from Newfoundland (collection begun in 1891 with some dating back to the 1840s), and court records. As well, interviews with elders of the families and oral histories passed down provide additional color and context. Every effort is made to credit contributions by other researchers. Its intention of the both the author and myself to update this book as additional records and DNA analysis become available. Likewise, contributions to the material herein are greatly appreciated and will attributed to the contributor. Should you believe that credit for any of the material here is not properly given, please let us know and we rectify. It’s our hope that this book enlightens and entertains the reader, and that it provides a window into the lives of our ancestors over the past three hundred years.

  • The Places of Bay Roberts
    1 2 COVES, STREETS, FIELDS AND MORE: The Places of Bay Roberts Researched & Written by: Folklore Graduate Field School Class of 2017 Edited by: Katherine Harvey Oral History Roadshow Series #005 Heritage Foundation of Newfoundland and Labrador Intangible Cultural Heritage Office St. John’s, NL, Canada Layout / design by Jessie Meyer 2018 3 INTRODUCTION The recollections in this booklet were recorded by students in Memorial University’s Folklore Department. For three weeks in September 2017, Memorial’s newest folklore graduate students arriving from Northern Ontario, all parts of the United States, Iran, and Israel, were transplanted to Bay Roberts to participate in a cultural documentation field school: a required course that takes place at the start of the first semester of the graduate program. The field school participants were warmly welcomed by local residents, and this booklet is both a “give back” to the community, as well as a product of what the students learned. The academic goals of the field school are for students to learn first-hand about cultural documentation: techniques of audio-recorded interviewing, ethnographic observation, writing fieldnotes, documentary photography, video-recording, organizing and archiving field data, analysing field data, and public presentation skills. In addition to skills and techniques, students learn to work in teams, to meet new people, and to recognize local traditions and culture— this is at the heart of folklore fieldwork. The warmth with which we were welcomed to Bay Roberts—from the very first day was a highlight. It was a cold and rainy Sunday afternoon, but students enjoyed the “Toutons and Tunes” walking tour, which ended in the Red Shed (a special place indeed!) with tea, toutons, scrunchions, crab legs, and traditional tunes—what a delicious introduction! Over the course of the next three weeks, students were invited into people’s homes, where they shared cups of tea, baked goods, 4 and stories.

  • Cahiers-Papers 48-1 Final Proof.Indd
    Yours Affectionately: Artists’ Books Inspired by Correspondence Shirley Greer* In the summer of 2009, I exhibited Yours Affectionately, a series of 15 artists’ books, at the Queen Elizabeth II Library, Memorial University of Newfoundland, St John’s. This exhibition represented the culmination of two years of study for a practice-based Masters Degree from the Creative and Performing Arts Department of the Waterford Institute of Technology in Waterford, Ireland. This degree was made possible through the co-operation of the Waterford Institute and Sir Wilfred Grenfell College (Memorial University of Newfoundland), which enabled me to complete my studies in Newfoundland. The textual component of each of my books came from a series of four letters written to my grandparents in the 1930s. The writer was a then-retired Methodist minister, Rev. W.H. Dotchon (1862–1951) of Brigus, Conception Bay. Dotchon was Yorkshire born and had come to Newfoundland in 1899 to enter the ministry. He retired to Brigus in 1926 and remained there until his death. My grandparents lived in the neighbouring town of Bay Roberts. Several photos in the family album show Dotchon writing or with a book in his hand. This is not surprising, since he was an avid reader and a poet. In 1910 he travelled by train from Newfoundland to Victoria, BC, to attend a Methodist conference. His poetic travelogue of this trip was hand bound posthumously in 1978 by Rev. R.N. Roswell under the title Flowing Grace (From Ocean to Ocean) and is available at the A.C. Hunter Library and at the Centre for Newfoundland Studies in St John’s.

  • Neville Chamberlain
    Neville Chamberlain Arthur Neville Chamberlain was born in Birmingham, England, on March 18, 1869. Neville Chamberlain was Prime Minister of Great Britain in September 1939 at the start of World War II. In May 1940, after the disastrous Norwegian campaign, Chamberlain resigned and Winston Churchill became prime minister. Why did Chamberlain resign as prime minister? Members of the House of Commons saw him as an uninspiring war leader. He was blamed for loss of Norway to the Germans. Chamberlin realised that a National Government of all political parties was mandatory. In May 1940 members of the Labour Party and Liberal Party refused to serve in his proposed National Government. Chamberlain resigned realisng that a National Government would not be possible as long as he was leader. He was replaced by Winston Churchill. His business acumen raised him in the eyes of his father, who told a friend that of his two sons, "Neville is really the clever one" and but for his disinterest in politics, "I would back him to be Prime Minister". Chamberlain's business interests did not completely fill his time, and he indulged his love of natural history and other pursuits. He spent many Sundays working in the gardens and greenhouses at Highbury. He enjoyed long walks in the countryside, and developed a passion for hunting and fishing. Early days (May 1937 – March 1938) Chamberlain sought to conciliate Germany, and make it a partner in a stable Europe.[133] He believed Germany could be satisfied by the restoration of some of her colonies and during the Rhineland crisis of March 1936, had stated that "if we were in sight of an all-round settlement the British Government ought to consider the question [of restoration of colonies]".[134] The following month, however, he wrote his sisters, "I don't believe myself that we could purchase peace and a lasting settlement by handing over Tanganyika to the Germans, but if I did I would not hesitate for a moment to do so." 1 Chamberlain (center, hat and umbrella in hands) leaves for home after the Berchtesgaden meeting, 16 September 1938.

  • 19 Century Newfoundland Outport Merchants the Jersey Room, Burin
    19th century Newfoundland outport merchants The Jersey Room, Burin, c. 1885, S.H. Parsons photo (GPA collection). submitted to Provincial Historic Commemorations Program Dept. Business, Tourism, Culture & Rural Development P.O. Box 8700 St. John's, NL A1E 1J3 submitted by Robert H. Cuff Historian/Writer Gerald Penney Associates Limited PO Box 428, St. John’s, NL A1C 5K4 10 November 2014 Executive Summary In their impact on Newfoundland and Labrador’s economic development, patterns of settlement, and community life, 19th century outport merchants made a significant historic contribution. Their secondary impact, on the Province’s political and cultural development, may be less obvious but was nonetheless vital. Each merchant had a demonstrable impact beyond his home community, in that each supplied nearby communities. Although a merchant’s commercial home sphere was typically in the headquarters bay or region, the majority of the outport merchants were also involved in both fishing and in supplying planters/ fishers in migratory or vessel-based fisheries elsewhere: the Labrador and French Shore fisheries; the seal hunt; and the western boat and Bank fisheries of the south coast. For the purposes of this review it was found helpful to draw a distinction between “resident outport merchants” who lived the full range of their adult lives in rural Newfoundland and the “merchant gentry” whose outport residency was an episode in their business and family life which was otherwise substantially spent in the Old Country or in St. John’s. The resident group may be more worthy of consideration for the Province’s commemoration program. Existing commemorations tend to favour the merchant gentry.

  • English Folk Traditions and Changing Perceptions About Black People in England
    Trish Bater 080207052 ‘Blacking Up’: English Folk Traditions and Changing Perceptions about Black People in England Submitted for the degree of Master of Philosophy by Patricia Bater National Centre for English Cultural Tradition March 2013 This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution- NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported License. To view a copy of this license, visit http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/ or send a letter to Creative Commons, 444 Castro Street, Suite 900, Mountain View, California, 94041, USA. Trish Bater 080207052 2 Abstract This thesis investigates the custom of white people blacking their faces and its continuation at a time when society is increasingly aware of accusations of racism. To provide a context, an overview of the long history of black people in England is offered, and issues about black stereotypes, including how ‘blackness’ has been perceived and represented, are considered. The historical use of blackface in England in various situations, including entertainment, social disorder, and tradition, is described in some detail. It is found that nowadays the practice has largely been rejected, but continues in folk activities, notably in some dance styles and in the performance of traditional (folk) drama. Research conducted through participant observation, interview, case study, and examination of web-based resources, drawing on my long familiarity with the folk world, found that participants overwhelmingly believe that blackface is a part of the tradition they are following and is connected to its past use as a disguise. However, although all are aware of the sensitivity of the subject, some performers are fiercely defensive of blackface, while others now question its application and amend their ‘disguise’ in different ways.
