I am looking for any vintage photographs and history of Centre Harbor for the 1885 to 1895 period. My grandfather (a teenager at the time) left Prince Edward Island and arrived in Centre Harbor in May of 1885. In July of 1892 he and Jenny C. Blackey had a baby girl, Annie Gertrude. Jenny was the daughter of John Blackey and Jane True Blackey. On my grandfather's naturalization papers, (1890) John Coe vouches for him. My grandfather's name was Joseph Bernard Mc Donald, but he was known as Bernard. It is possible that he was travelling with his father, Dan Mc Donald and/or his brother Paulenus Mc Donald. In May of 1894 Jenny C. Blackey died and by 1896 my grandfather had left the area and was living in Milton, MA. He did bring the little girl back for visits, during some summer months. Any information or any direction in which anyone can point me would be very much appreciated.
