Elizabeth Lomond Buttery Pike

It's been a long time since I posted about the Buttery family of Port Aux Basques (specifically Grand Bay!) I didn't know a lot about my 2nd great grandmother Lizzie, as she was called, but cousin Nancy recently reached out to me with a new photo and info. She said Elizabeth Buttery was a midwife and that "Elizabeth probably knew more about delivering babies than some doctors know now."

HISTORY

Albert Edward Buttery (from Channel Islands) married Elizabeth (Lizzie) Lomond in 1881 and had eight children in Grand Bay, Newfoundland. Twin sons died within a few weeks of birth and are not included in the Family Chart. Albert Edward died at the young age of 39. His oldest daughter Elizabeth "Eliza" (my great grandmother) married William John Scott (in 1911) from Little Bay East, and they moved to Rochester, New York, shortly thereafter. Eliza’s mother eventually remarried Charles Pike and would later adopt her granddaughter by son Walter.
