- Name: Charles Henry Handspiker
- Birth: 1840 OR 1841 in: Nova Scotia, Canada
- Death: 26-SEP-1906 in: Mount Pleasant, Digby County, Nova Scotia, Canada
- Father: Jesse Handspiker
- Mother: Bethia Sophia Handspiker
Notes: Am including below, the information I garnered from the 1901 Culloden Census. How it will play out for this family is beyond my current ability to think. Here's what is listed, and it fits only this family:
Charles Handspiker - Husb. b. 11-Mar-1839 (age 32 in 1881 Census)
Alice - Wife b. 17-Mar-1860 (2nd wife???)
Archie (Archibald) - Son b. 13-Aug-1878
Ensley (Ainsley?) - Son b. 12-Apr-1880
Agnes - 22/29-May-1890 **** (This is WAY off for "Mary Agnes", but she would likely be the only match)
Watson - Son - b. 25-May-1893 (Not Charles' son, but born to Alice J. by Mr. Peverill.)
Mimmie or Minnie - Dau. - b. 12-Oct-1896
Perhaps even Watson was born by 2nd wife?
In 1881 Census, married to Margaret, children all had some sort of fever at time of Census. In LDS transcription, the name appears as "Handspiter". Yet another misspelling! Here's the group in 1881, in Digby Town, Digby, Nova Scotia:
Charles H HANDSPITER M Male English 32 Nova Scotia Farmer Fever Every Child Aflicted
Margaret HANDSPITER M Female French 31 Nova Scotia Methodist Church of England
