Notes: Digby Courier July 8, 1927 Married ---Lloyd Richard Handspiker to Annie Majorie MacDonald, both of Digby were united in marriage by Rev. FR. Green at Annapolis Royal, June 28, 1927 Lloyd and Annie are in row 16, lots 10 & 11 at the cemetery. Lloyd may have been adopted as a young child (this isn't all that surprising, given the 14-year gap between he and Guilford!). Family history indicates he might have been born a FARNSWORTH. If that IS the case, my suspicions are that he might hav e been a son of Thomas Farnsworth and his wife Mary "Laleah". Along with the following children from 1901: 8 8 71 Farnsworth Thos. M Head M Sep 22 1856 44 8 9 71 Farnsworth Laleah F Wife M Dec 6 1866 34 8 10 71 Farnsworth Emma F Daughter S Jan 9 1892 9 8 11 71 Farnsworth Lizzie F Daughter S May 11 1890 10 8 12 71 Farnsworth Handford M Son S Oct 20 1893 7 8 13 71 Farnsworth Blanch F Daughter S Jun 2 1896 4 As Lloyd was born after the Census, he does not appear as either a Farnsworth OR a Handspiker. However, Thomas and Laleah/Mary are not in 1911 Census, and none of the above children are listed as Farnsworths in that census, either. There IS a Thomas Farnsworth in Culloden, Digby Co, but he is married to Orlind, and is listed as b. Aug-1850, age 60, she was b. Sep-1869, age 41, with children Clifford b. 1905, William b. 1906, and Annie, b. 1907. If Thomas' age is just plai n wrong, "Orlind" could be a second wife, given the parents' ages and age of the children.
