The Clancys of Calvert (Caplin Bay), Newfoundland.

Second Generation


2. Michael Clancy (Patrick ) was born 1 before 1826 in Caplin Bay, NF. He died before 1894 in Caplin Bay, NF.

According to the Fermeuse/Renews marriage records, Michael Clancy of "Capline Bay" married Margaret Hart at Fermeuse in 1842. Based on the voters lists, he was living there in 1846 and 1847, but then his name disappears entirely from the voters lists for Ferryland District. However in 1860, the Fermeuse baptisms recorded the birth of a son, John Joseph, to Michael Clancy and Bridget Brennan. It appears likely that this is the same Michael Clancy that first married in 1842 since his second wife was born in the 1820s.

In 1869, Michael was given a Crown land grant for property on the North Side of Caplin Bay, and he is listed as a fisherman at Caplin Bay in 1871. It is not known when Michael died, but he does not appear in McAlpine's Directory of 1894-97. His wife, Bridget, is listed as a widow at Caplin Bay in McAlpine's Directory of 1898.

Michael married 1 (1) Margaret Hart on 7 Jan 1842 in Holy Apostles Parish, Fermeuse/Renews, NF. Margaret was born in Fermeuse, NF. She died 2 before 1858.

They had the following children:

  6 M i Thomas Clancy was born in Fermeuse, NF.

No information has been found to indicate where Thomas was born. However, we know he existed since his name is mentioned in a land sale recorded in the deeds of the Southern District 1825 – 1888, Volume 6 - Page 180.
  7 M ii Patrick Clancy was born in Fermeuse, NF.

No information has been found to indicate where Patrick was born. However, we know he existed since his name is mentioned in a land sale recorded in the deeds of the Southern District 1825 - 1888, Volume 6 - Page 180.

Michael married (2) Bridget Brennan before 1858. Bridget was born about 1824 in Ferryland, NF. She died 1 on 29 Aug 1905 in Caplin Bay, NF. She was buried in Ferryland RC Cemetery.

It is not known for sure if this is the correct date of death since there was two Bridget Clancys, born at Ferryland, recorded in the Vital Statistic Death records for Caplin Bay. The other Bridget was the wife of Walter Clancy. No information has been found to date, to clarify if this death date is the correct one.

They had the following children:

+ 8 M iii James Clancy
  9 M iv John Joseph Clancy was born about Apr 1860. He was christened 1 on 22 Apr 1860 in Holy Apostles Parish, Fermeuse/Renews, NF.

3. Walter Clancy (Patrick ) was born 1 about 1828 in Caplin Bay, NF. He died 2 on 26 Mar 1913 in Caplin Bay, NF. The cause of death was old age. He was buried in Ferryland RC Cemetery.

Although his marriage record says he was from Ferryland, the Vital Statistic Death Records says Walter was born at Caplin Bay.

Walter married 1 Bridget Kelly on 27 Nov 1857 in Holy Apostles Parish, Fermeuse/Renews, NF. Bridget was born 2 about 1829 in Ferryland, NF. She died 3 on 14 Aug 1915 in Caplin Bay, NF. She was buried in Ferryland RC Cemetery.

It is not known for sure if this is the correct date of death since there was two Bridget Clancys, born at Ferryland, recorded in the Vital Statistic Death records for Caplin Bay. The other Bridget was the wife of Michael Clancy. No information has been found to date, to clarify if this death date is the correct one.

They had the following children:

  10 F i Anne Clancy was born about Aug 1859 in Caplin Bay, NF. She was christened 1 on 22 Aug 1859 in Holy Apostles Parish, Fermeuse/Renews, NF.

4. John Clancy (Patrick ) was born 1 before 1839 in Caplin Bay, NF. He died before 1894 in Caplin Bay, NF.

John was first recorded in the voters list at Caplin Bay in 1859. This means that he was 21, or older, at that time. The assumed death of his father, Patrick, between 1855 and 1859, probably left him as the male head of the household, and therefore an eligible voter.

John married Anne. Anne was born in Caplin Bay, NF. She died 1 on 5 Feb 1914 in Cape Broyle, NF. She was buried in Ferryland RC Cemetery.

-------------------------------------------------
28. CLANCY - Mary Ann Clancy, died 29 November 1920; 68 yrs.

There is no clear indication as to whose daughter Mary Ann may have been. The headstone transcription may be incorrect, since the 1921 Census shows a Mary A. Clancey (b. Aug 1856) was still living at Caplin Bay. There is also a possibility that this was the Anne born to Walter and Bridget in Aug. 1859, and not a daughter of John.

According to the 1921 Census, Mary A. Clancey was single and the postmistress for Caplin Bay.
