    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)

    The family is listed as follows on the 1881 Canadian Census, Ward No. 3, Portland, Saint John, New Brunswick Family History Library Film 1375815, NA Film # C-13179, District 25, Subdistrict E, Page 156, Household Number 770

    Dorothy Wiggs wrote that he deserted his family.

    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.

    William married Mary Elizabeth Duval on 10 Jul 1865 in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Mary (daughter of George Duval and Charlotte Foster) was born on 11 Nov 1841 in London, Middlesex, England; died on 2 Nov 1925 in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada; was buried on 4 Nov 1925 in Fernhill Cemetery, St. John, New Brunswick, Canada.
