IVANY
Updated November 27, 2000
My grandmother was an Ivany from Hodder's Cove. Her name was
MATILDA IVANY. She married my grandfather CHESLEY DUFFETT
on April 19, 1926 in Britannia Cove. Her parents were MATTHEW
IVANY of Bonaventure and ROSEANNA STEELE of Burgoyne's Cove.
This couple was married in 1898 shortly after Matthew's first wife,
ANNIE DUFFETT passed away. Matthew and Roseanna has two daughters:
1) ZIPPORAH: born September 4, 1900 in Hodder's Cove and baptized
on November 11, 1900.
2) MATILDA: born December 20, 1904 in Burgoyne's Cove and baptized
on February 17, 1905. She married CHESLEY DUFFETT (see above) and
died on October 23, 1978. She is buried in the Salvation Army cementary in Lower
Lance Cove.
Matthew and Annie also had children. They were:
1) JAMES: born January 11, 1895 in Hodder's Cove and baptized on
January 12, 1895. He may have married a woman named Sophie.
2) JOHN: born November 30, 1891 in Hodder's Cove and baptized on
March 28, 1892. He may have married a woman named Patience.
3) AMY ANN: born January 24, 1897 in Hodder's Cove and baptized
on February 1, 1897. Her first marriage was to LEANDER VERGE on
May 1, 1916 in Britannia. Her other marriages were to EUGENE BUGDEN,
ED SMITH and EZEKIAL MARTIN. She died in 1995.
The next generation of Ivany's would be the parents of Matthew Ivany.
His father was JAMES IVANY of New Bonaventure and his mother
JUDY HIGDEN of British Harbour. This couple was married on
November 14, 1854 in Trinity. Their children include:
1) TRIPHENIA: born June 25, 1856 in New Bonaventure on baptized over four months later by Benjamin Smith on November 9, 1856 in New Bonaventure. She married
JOHN LAITE on June 28, 1886 in Lance Cove.

baptized on January 16, 1859.

married ELLEN PITCHER on December 23, 1891 in Trinity.
5) MATTHEW: born in April 5, 1865 in New Bonaventure. He married
ANNIE DUFFETT and ROSEANNA STEELE. (see above)
6) ALFRED JOHN: (may have been Issac John) born December 3, 1876 in Hodder's Cove and baptized
on December 5, 1876. I believe he married a woman named LUCY ELLEN.

and baptized on July 28, 1867.
8) MATILDA: September 28, 1869 in New Bonaventure and baptized on
October 13, 1869. I believe she married THOMAS COOPER.

May 23, 1872.
10) BRIDGET PATIENCE: born on October 5, 1874 in New Bonaventure
and baptized on October 12, 1874.
