Chesley Street info

[Annie55]

A good idea from the one from St. Patrick street, I did research on the Wilson line, Thomas Wilson lived on Chesley street or (Drive) as did some other Wilson's. They were fishermen. So if anyone has info on them or Chesley area I would be interested.
thanks
Ann

And some lived on Hilyard street just the other side of the train bridge I have found lots of Logans and Harrisons some Lords

Hi Cookie,
I am also looking into the Logans, so if this info sounds like some you have I would be very interested. The Wilson's lived on Chesley Street, and I assume some of his wife Kate Logans relatives did too. Here is a letter I send out every now and then.
Hoping to hear from you,
Ann
I am looking for the parents and any relatives of Thomas Henry Wilson born June 27, 1859, on his death certificate it lists him as born in Scotland, he died June 20, 1927 in Saint John NB, they had lived on Chesley Street..
