  • Name Mary Elizabeth ROBAR 
    Birth 5 Dec 1863  New Cornwall, Lunenburg, NS Find all individuals with events at this location  [1
    • Her 1930 Application for [Delayed] Registration of Birth has a supporting document from ZLL that shows she was baptised on 14 Feb 1965 and born on 5 Dec 1864; however, the words "No Record" are also written across this document. In a number of documents, her sister Charlotte is consistently listed as born 25 Feb 1865, and the 1881 Census lists Mary Elizabeth as being older than Charlotte and born 1863. Since it is not possible that they were born two months apart, my guess is that the ZLL document is off by a year and that Mary Elizabeth was actually born 1863.
