Birth look up Nova Scotia

[Pollard]

Hi Janice,

Thanks...I'd already used all your links and trawled through hours of passenger lists and census etc etc.
My problem is ofcourse having little to go on!

I think he may have been born in Halifax this was from a strange reference I found on a scottish census later in his life stating he was born in 'Daridace' which ofcourse does not exist...I have presumed that this was down to a 'bad recorder', misunderstanding the local Scottish accent. 
Thanks for your help though...

I thought I'd made a breakthrough when you said there were only 6 left in 18??, thinking you must be able to take that back a generation or two.
C'est la vie!

Kind regards
Sheila

Could he have meant Paradise, Nova Scotia? (Just a thought.)

Paradise is in the Annapolis County.

It might be an idea to ask the Annapolis Valley Regional Library if they could help.
