  • Name: James O'Brien Vail
  • Birth: 23-NOV-1866 in: Brockway, York County, New Brunswick, Canada
  • Death: 17-OCT-1948 in: York County, New Brunswick, Canada
  • Father: Solomon Vail
  • Mother: Asenath R. Nutter

Notes: Have seen many VAILs in the Gagetown church records of late 1700s and early to mid 1800s.

Another possible FATHER of James O., might be John E. Vail, who died York County in 1922?? On Worldconnect, found a James O'Brian Vail, born 23-Nov-1866, son of Solomon (b. 30-Jan-1810, Kingslear, York, NB) and Asenath Nutter (b. 27-Jan-1836)

The following 1881 Canada Census record for Vail family in Manners-Sutton, York, NB, has VERY good possibilities:

Aselath R. VAIL Wid Female English 44 New Brunswick Farmer Methodist
Frank H. VAIL Male English 23 New Brunswick Farmer Methodist
Charles W. VAIL Male English 21 New Brunswick Labourer Methodist
John C. VAIL Male English 20 New Brunswick Labourer Methodist
Annie L. VAIL Female English 19 New Brunswick Methodist
Chipman F. VAIL Male English 17 New Brunswick Farmer Son Methodist
Daily J. VAIL Female English 16 New Brunswick Methodist
JAMES O. VAIL Male English 14 New Brunswick Son Methodist
Myra C. VAIL Female English 11 New Brunswick Methodist
Solomon VAIL Male English 10 New Brunswick Methodist
Samuel BROCKWAY Male English 12 New Brunswick Methodist

That said, the following 1901 Census for Manners-Sutton, York, NB, has even better possibilities. If so, however, and the informaton on Nellie Young is correct, suspect that Annie (first wife?) died or they were divorced, before 1904, as tha t is marriage date I currently have for James and Nellie.
