• Notes

  His inscription on the family marker at Hillcrest Cemetery is more a memorial a memorial since he was lost at sea. A search of all know HUBLEY's who bore the name William shows that this William is by far the most likely to have been the Captain of the Agnes Myra when she went down off Glace Bay in 1933. For example, on his 1918 Marriage record, he states he is a Seaq Captain born and residing at Lunenburg. The family marker states that he was lost at sea in 1931, but this appears to be an error.
