Jeanette Isetta Scovil

I did a little digging on the Ancestry website and may have found a woman who has researched your family. I also looked at a few websites for additional documentation. This info is simply what I found (not verified this is your family), but I hope it's correct.

Jeanette's maiden name was Dow. She was born on October 8, 1882, at the Dow Settlement, Carleton, New Brunswick. Her parents were Aaron Dow and Lydia Cummings. The Dow family has a long history and this website has a lot of info: http://www.dowlink.net/not_our_family_line.htm (you'll find Aaron and Lydia mentioned at the bottom of this page).

Jeanette married James W Scovil (son of William and Sarah Jane Scovil). They had at least 3 children, Ada (b 1884), Alena (b 1886) and Elzina May (b 1891). Elzina married Louis Milton Patterson on Nov 1, 1913 in Nelson, BC. I didn't find anything abuot the other two children.

Census records show Jeanette and James in New Brunswick until 1911, then in the 1921 census they're living in Silverton, West Kootenays, BC. James is listed as a rancher, and he owns the ranch. As they're older now, none of the children are living with them.

The BC Archives has the death registration of James Woodbury Scovil at Nelson, BC, on May 18, 1941. The document is not available online but a copy can be ordered from the Victoria Genealogical Society (www.victoriags.org). Assuming this man is Jeanette's husband, the death registration may indicate that his middle name is also mother's maiden name (Woodbury). Worth looking in to, I think.

I hope this helps.
