"I have found the family of my 3x grt grandfather, George TEMPLE, in the I.G.I., in Bridport, Dorset. It appears as if 2 TEMPLE brothers married 2 SNOWDEN sisters. Both the surnames TEMPLE and SNOWDEN appear to be uncommon in Bridport. In Nfld. successive generations of TEMPLES called their boys SNOWDEN. The children of these 2 families were all baptized in the New Meeting, Barrack St. Independent Church, which I believe is Congregationalist. However I cannot find the marriages of George and Dorothy TEMPLE ( nee SNOWDEN ) or Matthew and Margery TEMPLE ( nee SNOWDEN ) in the Barrack St. church. Any suggestions about where they might have been married? Also 3 of the children of George and Dorothy TEMPLE died as infants and are in the Bishop's Transcript film I viewed of St. Mary's, Bridport, Church of England. Why are they listed in St. Mary's if they were Congregationalists? They died in 1819 and 1813" Harold Benson <bensonh@log.on.ca>
1789 " Norman's Cove, Trinity Bay: "James Newhook built six schooners and a brig from 1827 to 1832. Born at Trinity in 1789, [in another part it states born 1783], he had 21 children from two marriages. James and his brother Charles had a shipyard at New Harbour, but they fell out and James moved to Norman's Cove..." "The area's first settlers are said to have been James Newhook and George Temple..." It goes on to say "...sent from England to repair the boats at Trinity. He [James, or George??] is said to have been one of the first settlers in the early 1800s. He was listed as a planter in 1829, having pereviously been at Selby Cove, Bay de Verde, in 1824." "Decks Awash" Jan./Feb. 1990: (Am including the part about James Newhook because of the Newhook connection to JCove -- I've been told it's the same Newhooks but don't take it as gospel yet). Barbara Pederson
1792 "Regarding your Mary Ann VINCENT married in Newfoundland in 1821, the following records from St Lawrence parish, Norwich, Norfolk, England, may be of interest: St Lawrence, Norwich
These children were baptized to William & Mary VINCENT (nee Blofield)
2-9-1792 William born 28-8
23-11-1794 Henry born 17-11
17-9-1797 Edmund Blofield born 15-9
25-12-1799 Rebecca born 21-12
14-9-1800 Mary Ann born 11-9
It looks promising but I would be reluctant to pin too much hope in this. Mary Ann VINCENT. VINCENT is a common name in Norfolk and Suffolk (collectively known as East Anglia) and so is Mary Ann. If any of the other names pop up in your tree it might be more promising. BTW, in Victorian England, many Mary Ann's went by the name of Polly." Regards Richard Rix rixrevs@interhop.n
1800 "Thanks for the message. I'm sorry but I have no Temples before 1800. The earliest Temple I have is George Temple (c.1800-1860). He had 4 children that I know of (Matthew, Margaret, William, and Dorothy). Dorothy married John Piercey of Scilly Cove (now Winterton) and settled in Norman's Cove. I am descended from them. I have a lot of their descendants in my files but not a lot concerning the descendants of Dorothy's siblings. My Newhook information is mainly centered on the descendants of James Newhook (b.1788) in Trinity, Newfoundland. I would be very interested in knowing about your Temples and trying to see if we can link them up. You obviously have my e-mail address. My home address is 22 Lery St. Saint Hubert, Quebec, Can. J3Y 3Y3. If you want any of my Temple or Newhopk information I would be more than happy to send it to you. Regards, Roger Cole colers@colba.net
1827 "9. REBECCA4 VINCENT (JOHN3, JOHN2, XY1) was born 1827 in Cape Island, Newfoundland, and died Unknown. She married RICHARD TEMPLEMAN 1852 in Cape Island, Newfoundland. Notes for RICHARD TEMPLEMAN: Richard, a fisherman from Bonavista, had been coming to Cape Island during the summer months to fish, along with his brother, James Templeman, who in 1849 married Rebecca's cousin, Harriett Vincent, of Cobbler's Island. After their marriage, Rebecca and Richard returned to Bonavista to live. Children of REBECCA VINCENT and RICHARD TEMPLEMAN are:
28. i. JAMES5 TEMPLEMAN, b. 1850; d. Unknown.
29. ii. ANN TEMPLEMAN, b. 1853, Bonavista, Newfoundland; d. Unknown.

Does any body have any info about the John & Dorothy in Norman's Cove? Thanks Betty Ingham (Hiscock) elizaingham@prodigy.net
1835 CHANCE COVE (Population in 1991 - 435
The town of Chance Cove, which is located on the west side of Trinity Bay, is on a road that turns north off Route 201 about four kilometres from Route 1. Chance Cove consists of two adjoining coves, Big Chance Cove and Little Chance Cove. In the early 1800s they were known as Great Chance Cove and Lower Chance Cove respectively. Although the original inhabitants who went there in the early 1800s settled in both coves, the community now is situated only in Little Chance Cove.
Some of the men living in the community with their families in 1835 were John Peddle, James Bryant, Thomas and Benjamin Smith and George Temple. All of them except John Peddle lived in Big Chance Cove. Since the community was close to good cod and salmon fishing areas, it soon attracted more people. By 1869, families named Andrews, Hutchings, Linch, Liven, McCarthy, Noseworthy and Rowe had moved there from other communities in Trinity Bay. By 1911 the population had reached one hundred and ninety-five. Although the fishery remained the backbone of the community’s economy, several small sawmills were started there in the early 1900s. The origin of the community’s name is a mystery. It has been suggested that it was called Chance Cove, after a ship had run aground in one of the coves by mischance. It is just as likely that the name reflected a more positive incident, such as a ship finding safety in one of the coves by chance during a storm. In any case, there is every reason to believe that some kind of luck, good or bad, played a role in the origin of the name. http://www.wp.com/JR/
1800's In reply to your request for info on Temples who came to Newfoundland: Canon Robert Temple came from Coventry or Norfolk in the early 1800's. His brother, William, went to St. Pierre where he was a schoolteacher. Canon Robert married a Vincent from Suffolk. they settled in Twillingate. He died in Sandy Point where he had spent his last years with his daughter and her family and he was buried in Twillingate. Hope this is of some help to you in your research.

TEMPLE
In Newfoundland: Family tradition: George, from England, was one of the earliest settlers of Norman's Cove (Trinity B.) in the early 1800s. Early instances: Thomas, of Bonavista, 1816; George, planter of Selby Cove (Bay de Verde district), 1824; George, planter of Norman's Cove, 1829; William, planter of Upper Island Cove, 1846; Matthew and William, of Chapel Arm (Trinity B.), 1871 (Lovell); James, planter of Cobblers Island (Bonavista B.), 1871 (Lovell). E.R. Seary's "Family Names of the Island of Newfoundland"
1835 "Four families were living in winter tilts around the head of Bull Arm in 1835. According to a 1869 census report, which was the first report that listed the community, twenty-eight persons were living there that year. Fifteen years later a census report divided the community into two areas - the Bottom and Centre Cove. The Bottom had twenty-two residents and the Cove had twelve. A Snook family from Old Perlican and a Lilly family from Harbour Grace were two of the first families to settle at Centre Cove. Families by the name of Hutchings and Smith moved to the community from Chance Cove about the same time. About 1889 two men named Parsons and Peddle and their families went to Sunnyside and set up a sawmill. Some of the families who were already there then were the Bensons, Coshs, Drovers and Temples. By 1900 the community had two hundred and forty-one residents. The early economy depended on the fishery and the lumber business." http://www.wp.com/JR/ John Religa

1851 'Hi, I do have a George Temple born 1851 in Long Cove. I have William Temple as his father, but that is not confirmed. I have not been able to get his baptism record since New Harbour area just have records back to 1862. The reason I have William Temple is due to the fact that I know that he was living there in Long Cove and the 1894-97 directory (I believe I have the right one) lists a George Temple of William. This, to me indicicated that George's father is William. Perhaps we could trade information anyway if this is the same George to which you are referring. Thanks and bye for now.

1863 In my second voyage, I mean that of last year, I had the great gratification of finding candidates prepared for Confirmation in the region of White Bay and Canada Bay, on the eastern French Shore, so long unthought of and uncared for, but now blessed with the services of a zealous and faithful Missionary. The Rev. Mr. Temple presented to me candidates in both White Bay and Canada Bay, the firstfruits of, I trust, an abundant harvest. They were chiefly persons advanced in life, who thankfully embraced the first opportunity of being thus presented, thereby testifying their allegiance to the Church, and their desire to profit by her holy ordinances and means of grace. Mr. Temple also petitioned for the consecration of four graveyards, cleared and fenced by the people at his instigation and under his superintendence. http://www.mun.ca/cgi-bin/mfs/03/rels/hrollmann/ang/texts/ang6.html?147#mfs

Templeman
A fishing community on the north side of Bonavista Bay, just south of Cape Freels, since 1992 Templeman has been a part of the expanded town of Wesleyville qv. The community (originally known as Fox Cove) was settled in the 1870s by families from two off-lying groups of islands: Bennett's Island (Greens and Tuffs) and the Cobbler Islands (Howells and Vincents). As was the case with nearby Newtown qv, the movement was probably related to increased involvement in the Labrador fishery. Templeman first appears in the Census in 1884, with a population of 75, growing to 225 people by 1901. As the Labrador fishery declined and finally collapsed in the 1920s and 1930s the community contracted: from 51 families in 1921 to 55 people by 1971. Since that time, however, Templeman has rebounded somewhat as a few families from Wesleyville and area have built homes there. http://enl.cuff.nf.ca/entry/81/8151.htm
