George & Jane STEAD of Northern Ireland & Montreal, Canada. The first picture is of George & Jane (née MUNDELL) STEAD who were married in Glen Arm Co. Antrim Nth. Ireland on 27 Nov 1882. They migrated to Montreal in April 1886. Jane is nursing my grandfather, James Mundell STEAD, b. 21 Jun 1887 in Montreal. Standing is Thomas Mundell STEAD b. 23 Aug 1883 and seated is Mary b. 19 Jun 1885. Thomas and Mary were believed to be born in Ballymena. Family legend has it that Jane died a few months after this picture was taken and that George took the children back to Nth. Ireland. Within a short time he returned to Canada leaving the children behind with relatives. They never saw their father again. He supposedly "met with foul play" in Canada but I have been unable to find any death record for him or Jane. This is my major family history mystery! Thomas married and migrated to Canada. His descendants live in Toronto and I have visited them a couple of times. James migrated to Australia and Mary married and remained in Nth. Ireland. Her descendants still live there. The second picture would have been taken in late 1919 or early 1920. It is of my grandparents James Mundell STEAD (the baby from the 1888 picture), his wife Alice Maud HENRY and three of their children. They were married in Georgetown in northern Queensland in 1913. James was a member of the mounted Police Force. The children left to right are William Thomas STEAD (b. 7 Feb 1914, d. 9 Sep 1985), my mother Jean (b. 19 Feb 1916) and Winifred Olive (b. 20 Sep 1919). They subsequently had two more sons: James who died of whooping cough aged 3 and Donald Alexander (b. Aug 1926). Alice Maud died in June 1996 aged 106 yrs and eight months. |
