Hello
  I am Roderick from Newfoundland and have been working on the DOMINEY file for quite some time now. I have a John C. Dominey 1841 - 1896 who married Leah Young in 1871 at Greenspond. Not sure if this is the John you seek. brentnalster@gmail.com

More re Newfoundland, Seary's "Family Names of the Island of Newfoundland" has an early reference to "Nath. Smith of Greenspond, 1804".  The source is the d'Alberti papers, volume 14 - transcripts of correspondance 1780-1825, between the governors of Newfoundland and the colonial office.  The papers have scanned and put on-line by Memorial University of Newfoundland.  Smith may be common, but Nathanial is less so - might be worth following up.  Nathanial b. 1771 would have been an adult by 1804, could be the same guy.

Also, another thought about Margaret Viney - agreed that it would be unlikely for her middle name to be after her mother's first husband.  Unless she was posthumous?  Was there a Viney male buried less than nine months before Margaret's birth?  Maybe Diana was pregnant and widowed when she married John Smith, then gave her baby both her first and second husbands' names.

Jennifer.
Could you tell me where or what page at the link above is Nathaniel Smith mentioned. The file has 381 pages.

Hello again,
   It was easy to connect on this side of the water but it seems not so easy to have done so on that one. My connection is as follows. George Wm. Brentnall (Dad) B. Gambo>Maria Jane Brentnall B. Gambo> Mary Elizabeth Jenkins B. Harbour Grace, Newfoundland (Robert Brentnall B. New Brunswick,Canada)>Arianna Oakley B. Greenspond(Thomas Jenkins B. Harbour Grace) John T. Oakley (Mary Smith B. Geenspond)>Nathaniel Smith, B. England (Sarah Hill B. England)
See John T. Oakley on the 1st page of this volume.

Hello everyone!
   I am Roderick Brentnall of Newfoundland Canada. gggg grandfather was Nathaniel Smith of Greenspond Newfoundland. He had 2 brothers that I know of by the names of Robert and Thomas Smith. He (Nathaniel) married a lady by the name of Sarah Hill @ 1806 at Greenspond. Their children were my ggg grandmother Mary who married John T. Oakley of Greenspond, Ryma married Robert Angel Bellows, Nathaniel 1814-1846, Sarah married Thomas Green of Hampshire,England, Amy married James Pitt, Elizabeth married William Bellows, and George married Elizabeth Unknown.

Funny that you speak of the Viney name as Robert, Nathaniel's brother, had a daughter Deborah Viney Smith who married a Richard Elliot Stroud.brentnalster@gmail.com

Funny that my ggg Grandfather (John T. Oakley) was at St. James Poole in 1861 with his son Aubrey Oakley.
