the link is to a tree on Ancestry owned by a member of the Robichaud family which links to Cindy's family.

Did you get the email Cindy with the baptisms on it?

Thanks to several of us you may have discovered a lot more about your family.

Takes a lot of man hours to research doesnt it.

James, Farr in Cornwall and all the others on my website

Yes I did,

Thank you so much Barry, I am very appreciative.
I never would have gotten this far without all the help from everyone involved.
So many twists and turns for sure, which made me question if i was searching for the right person.
You all have gone above and beyond to help me out.

According to my 18 yr old son I should have paid more attention in history class..lol

Again Thank you so  much :)
Cindy

Not a lot of Janet Edgars in Northesk ...So in case she married late in life ..but can't seem to see her later to follow up http://archives.gnb.ca/Search/NewspaperVitalStats/Details.aspx?culture=en-CA&guid=6DFDE4B4-666F-4277-BF61-9A561E4420EC

adding, forgot this was being done... http://www.automatedgenealogy.com/LibraryIndex.jsp?surname=Edgar
http://www.automatedgenealogy.com/LibraryIndex.jsp?itemid=111

adding:
This would coincide with the find by gjil reply #39 but could just be coincidence as James is a popular name... http://archives.gnb.ca/Search/NewspaperVitalStats/Details.aspx?culture=en-CA&guid=898da0e6-31a6-4640-9dab-2f5f19c9d3fc but we'd need to find more proof.
James did have a daughter Jane...but don't see the actual marriage  http://archives.gnb.ca/Search/NewspaperVitalStats/Details.aspx?culture=en-CA&guid=2ae54ed7-9ce2-4687-aa86-5f04c754e0ec

but just found that this fellow also had a son Andrew & don't think there was .... http://archives.gnb.ca/Search/NewspaperVitalStats/Details.aspx?culture=en-CA&guid=810fcf37-dcd5-4055-9a45-f9b345889f0a

I know this hasn't directly answered a lot of questions, but little pieces can make a puzzle come together...
There were Edgars on the Island as.....
An extracted IGI file Betty Edgar had a child Louisa Lerretta out of wedlock, 1852 St.John Barbadoes  https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XLG4-7M9
a submission  https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.2.1/9QKS-TTN

adding another Edgar from West Indies, Bermuda...(so nevermind, I need to return to school as well)

An interesting piece on the Edgars of the West Indies, which won't help you at all right now, but you'll want to read & keep it in case your Edgars were descended from earlier merchants or residents of the Islands http://www.oocities.org/edgarhistory/
The very bottom 2 mention Barbados http://www.edgargen.ca/EDGARNEWS_60.pdf
