• Notes

  William HARNISH, h/o Nettie BEAIRSTO has not been identified for certain. However, . . . Note that residing in Braintree are Henry Isiah HARNISH and Fitzgerald HARNISH, both sons of John Abraham HARNISH and Sarah Elizabeth BOUTILIER. John and Sarah, who both die Braintree (or Quincy, which is right next door) have another son whose name is Willam and who is born 1867. This William first marries Mary TURLEY at Quincy in 1889, but there is no sign of either of them in the 1900 Census of MA, or the 1901 Census of Canada. The 1910 Census says William's age is 38, which puts him in the right church, albeit the wrong pew, and that he and Nettie were married 1901, which would fit. Also note that the stillborn child of William and Nettie is buried Plain Street Cemetery, Braintree, as is one of the daughters of Fitzgerald HARNISH. So, I suspect that William, the youngest s/o John Abraham, is Nettie's mysterious husband. [Bob H] William HARNISH, h/o Nettie BEAIRSTO has not been identified for certain. However, . . .
