James Aribildo

M, b. c 1819, #71
  • James Aribildo was also known as James Archibald (A very theoretical guess for this family; needs proof.).
  • He was born c 1819; Ireland or possibly Maine or New Brunswick , Canada.
  • Note: Mary Ann's father is given in two different documents, once as Aribildo, and once as Arribon. However, these names appear not to exist. There were a number of Archibald families in Northumberland, New Brunswick, around the time of her birth. A current theory is that she may have been one of them.
