Pike's in the Battle Harbour (Labrador) Anglican Records

What follows is a list of all Pike entries in the Anglican church records from Battle Harbour (Labrador) held at PANL as of February 2006. 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 church records can also be found on my website.

Some comments about this list:

The entries below are in the same order as presented in the church records, which was not always in chronological order.
Unless I mistakenly overlooked an entry or two, this is a complete list of all Pike entries, including all entries where one of the marriage witnesses had Pike in his/her name.

At PANL these records are in volumes as follows:

Marriages: 1880 - 1940
Burials: 1880 - 1984

The appendix to the finding aid at PANL notes that the records of the original Battle Harbour parish, dating back to about 1850, are presently held by the parish of Mary's Harbour in Labrador. If anybody can persuade the church in Mary's Harbour to lend its pre-1880 records to PANL long enough for a copy to be made for PANL's collection, then I might be able to extract the Pike entries.

Marriages (1880 - 1940)

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

Entries are separated by one or more blank lines.
