Burin Anglican Vital Stats Records

What follows is a list of all Pike entries from Vital Stats volume 100 (which is for Burin Anglican records) held at PANL as of January 2007. This list constitutes a typescript of my handwritten extraction from photocopies of the original records, which is to say that I may have inadvertantly introduced some errors while transcribing and typing... as always, you should double-check against the original records. That said, if you spot any mistakes that I have made, please let me know at dapike@mun.ca. Additional Pike entries from other Newfoundland records can also be found on my website.

Vital Stats volume 100 contains records as follows:

• Baptisms: 1860 - 1891
• Marriages: 1880 - 1891

Note that the Vital Stats records are themselves transcripts, sent in to the goverment by clergy. Accordingly, there may be transcription errors, and indeed I think that some were made. For example, notice that in 1872 we have a baptism for a son of Robert Francis & Eliza Pike of Burin Bay Arm, in 1877 there is a baptism for a daughter of Robert Joshua & Eliza Pike of Lance l'eau, and in 1887 there is a baptism for a son of Robert Thomas & Eliza Pike of Lance l'Eau. There is no consistency in what is stated for Robert's middle name, so we cannot tell from these records which is his correct middle name. [March 2007 update: looking at the Epworth Methodist records, it appears that Robert's middle name is in fact "Frome"]

Moreover, the finding aid at PANL notes that the Anglican records at Burin date back to 1847, which indicates that these Vital Stats records do not include all of the entries from the original church records.

Some comments about the entries listed below:

• The entries below are in the same order as presented in the vital stats records, which may not be in chronological order, and might not even be in the same order as the original church records.
• Unless I mistakenly overlooked an entry or two, this is a complete list of all Pike entries (including all marriages to which a Pike was listed as a witness).

Baptisms (1860 - 1891)

Marriages (1880 - 1891)

The format of most of the entries that follow is as follows:

• Line 1: Marriage Number, and Groom's name, abode, occupation, etc
• Line 2: Bride's name, abode, etc
• Line 3: Marriage date and location
• Line 4: List of witnesses
