I'm been assisted by another GR member with electoral districts but could anyone tell me which parishes the following come/came under:- Corner Brook, Sandy Point and Rose Blanche. Thanks, M. Steer

Margaret from google.... Corner Brook (2006 pop.: 20,083) is a Canadian city located on the west coast of the island of Newfoundland in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. Sandy Point is a former peninsula on the west coast of the island of Newfoundland which has been recently transformed into an island as a result of sea level rise and ocean storm-induced coastal erosion. Its former connecting isthmus was known to locals as 'The Gap'. The point was also home to a now-abandoned community of the same name. Sandy Point extends 2 km into St. George's Bay on the bay's southern shore and is located approximately 7 km west of the head of the bay at Stephenville Crossing, 12 km south of the town of Stephenville and 2 km north of the community of St. George's. Rose Blanche is a small community on Newfoundland's southwest shore, about 45 km from Port aux Basques. This community is located in a barren area on the east side of a small bay. In this bay there are two harbours that were mainly used to provide shelter for fishing vessels. Georgina.

Thanks Georgina, one of the people I'm trying to trace was a Lighthouse Keeper in that area. M.Steer
