bullet  General Notes:

As for the names I am not 100% certain of the names in Clattice Harbour I will go into more detaile below. I have the names of my Great Great grand father on his father drowned in Clattice Harbour and that's where the information is missing. My Great great Grand Father Thomas Henry Brewer (said in the 1921 census of St. John's West that he was born on Isle Valen.) His mother Mary remarried James Morris. I have no confirmation on her maiden (name).. I have also been told the the 1921 Cencus was incorrect and that they were from Clattice Harbour not Isle Valen.
The story is that Thomas Henry Brewer's father died (drowned) while fishing (it is said in Clattice Harbour). before or just after his son was born in 1884. After the father's death, his mother Mary(?) moved to St. John's to raise her child. I'm thinking she was possibly a Pittman because of other stories that were passed on (when she moved to St. John's she boarded in a house belonging to Pittmans) but she could also be a Brewer who had an illegitimate child & left for a place where she wasn't known.
She later married James Morris (from Liverpool immigrated in 1903) and they lived in St. John's.
I have no trace yet on Thomas Henry Brewer or his mother as having lived on Isle Valen..
I have attached a pic showing the names that follow:
Thomas Brewer Drowned about 1884 in Clattice Harbour
Mary (unknown) they had a child Thomas Henry April 1884 - April 16 1941
Thomas Henry Brewer Married Sarah Wiseman Oct 1891 - Oct 10 1965
They had two boys Thomas Henry Brewer Feb 22 1907- June 16 1986
James Brewer born 1911
Thomas Henry Brewer born 1907 married Marjorie Fitsgerald They are my Grand parents. my fathers brother my Uncle Pat Brewer who is now 87 years old remembers his Grand father (Thomas 1884) telling him stories about Clattice Harbour and Isle Valen but he doesn"t remember any family names. He thinks that Thomas 1884 was around 6 years old when he and his mother moved to St. John's.
I know this is not a lot to go on but if you are able to make any kind of connection that could lead me to some info it will be appreciated. ( e-mail of Don Brewer <donaldbrewer@yahoo.ca > April 2014 )
