Name John Wareham Born About 1831 England 
Christened 16 Feb 1848 St. John's, Newfoundland [1] - Age 26, Methodist
Parish of Portugal Cove, C.B. Register of Baptism 1844-1884. Also register of marriages 1844-1886
Gender Male Died 26 Dec 1911 Gunner's Cove, St. John's, Newfoundland 
Notes - John's obituary indicates he had 3 brothers and that Montreal papers should copy. This leads me to think that Charles Wareham, who moved from Newfoundland to Montreal, was his brother and I have a DNA connection to Charles' descendants. On Charles' baptism record when he converted to Catholicism in 1879, his parents are listed Alexander Wareham and Mary Wheeler.
