Dear Irene,
Thank YOU so much for identifying my great-aunt, Bessie DICKIE.
Bessie is one of 9 children and the daughter of William DICKIE
(born 1840, in Cape Traverse, PEI, died about 1926) and Esther AKERLEY
(born Jan. 3rd, 1842 in Maitland, NS, died about 1885).....
William DICKIE re-married the widow, Margaret Ann Thompson
(nee INNES, born 1850 in Dundee, NB, died 1929)
sometime after Esther died in 1885.Margaret had two children from her first marriage - Jessie and Rebecca.
Together, William and Margaret had four more children.What a thrill to see an actual picture! Irene, God bless you!
I was moved to tears! My grandmother's sister!!! I was amazed!!!
I don't even have a picture of my Grandmother Amelia DICKIE!!!
But, I now have one of her sister.......incredible!!!
it just makes everything seems so ALIVE...I can't explain the connectivity I feel......
thanks to you! So God bless you and keep you safe in the palm of His hand!Keep up your wonderful, wonderful work. You touch the hearts and lives of many, many people!
Faith Travers-Amadio
