William E. Poole

Notes:

Cecelia Payne of New Brunswick located the family on the 1871 St. John County, New Brunswick, Canada census index. The information she found was as follows:

Pool (sic)-William, Mary E., Edwin, Walter, Mary & Charlotte from Portland Parish

Additionally, she found the following three children who weren't born at the time of the census:

Poole, Lottie Foster born in Saint John Mar 25, 1872

Poole, Nettie born Paradise Row, Saint John, Dec 30, 1873, Father: William Poole Occupation Soldier Mother Mary Elizabeth Duval Delivered by Dr. J. Berryman

Poole, George William born in Saint John March 7, 1878 Father's Occupation: Railroad Spike Maker

Cecelia also was kind enough to examine the Hutchinson Directory for 1865-1866 which showed:

Saint John Directory 1871 Paradise Row, 1874 Acadia, 1879 Mill, 1880 Main, 1890 Somerset (listed variously as laborer and nail maker)

On a family group sheet that Cecelia sent me (source unknown), it was noted that William was a Methodist and his occupation was that of a Lay Preacher.
