You keep dragging me back. ;)

Have a look at cemetery transcriptions at the Nfld's Grand Banks site:

http://ngb.chebucto.org/Cemetery/1dist-cem-idx.shtml

Down at the bottom you can search cemeteries for surname.

I wonder about this one:

Mt. Patricia Cemetery
(Anglican)
Bay St. George's District

Vail
Ethel M.
1891 - 1976


although that one was probably a Vail by marriage?


Here's someone who has to be related, at the Virtual War Memorial site:

http://www.veterans.gc.ca/eng/sub.cfm?source=collections/virtualmem

In memory of
Private HEMNON VAIL
who died on July 7, 1919
Military Service:
Service Number: 5282
Age: 21
Force: Army
Unit: Royal Newfoundland Regiment
Division: 1st Bn.

Additional Information:
Son of George and Susannah Vail, of 25, Hayward Avenue, St. John'S.
>>> Born at Lower Island Cove, Conception Bay.

Commemorated on Page 126 of the Newfoundland Book of Remembrance.
Burial Information:
Cemetery:
ST. JOHN'S GENERAL PROTESTANT CEMETERY
Newfoundland,Canada
Grave Reference: Naval and Military Plot.


He is at the cemeteries part of the chebucto.org website, General Protestant Cemetery Field Of Honour St. John's, Newfoundland

http://ngb.chebucto.org/Cemetery/vail-h-reg-gen-prot-sjc.shtml



There are 3 Spurrells from Nfld who died in WWI at the Virtual War Memorial site, too.


Also, search for your surnames among WWI enrolments here:

http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/databases/cef/001042-100.01-e.php

The papers show addresses and next of kin, and you could find relations of your people. --- No, drat, I'm wrong, those records are for the Canadian Expeditionary Force only and that doesn't cover Nfld. I'll just leave it heare so we know it's a source that's been ruled out.

I wonder ..........

http://ngb.chebucto.org/Cemetery/cem-gen-prot-1910-sjw.shtml

Interments
General Protestant Cemetery
St. John's
St. John's West District

28-May Eva Moore Vail 28 years sec 11, grave 92, with cover


Could Eva maybe be Evangeline?

Aged 28 in 1910 would be the right age to have had children Muriel and Walter.

There is this burial the same year:

8-Oct Bessie Vail 12 years sec 11, grave 95

ISLAND COVE (Bay de Verds)
A large fishing settlement on the north shore of Conception Bay in the district of Bay de Verds. This is merely a sheltered beach, which answers as a fishing station during the summer, but affords no security during stormy weather. Farming is carried on to a large extent in conjunction with the fishery. Distant from Carbonear by road 27 miles. Mail weekly. Population 830.
