Notes
Note
Harry Whitefield Bowman is in the PEI Baptismal Index as the son of Jane McFadyen and John Bowman. When Jane died, her children were scattered among family and neighbours. Harry Whitfield was with the Hyde family as an adopted son.
In subsequent census records, Harry adopted the last name Hyde, and was generally regarded as the son of Francis Hyde and Sarah McFadyen. Sarah was Francis' second wife; they were married in 1884. In the 1881 census, the closest found to Sarah was the Sarah McFadyen living with John McFadyen and Catherine McFadyen - from the ages of this household, it is possible that Sarah and John were children of Neil McFadyen and Catherine MacLeod, and if so, would be cousins of Jane McFadyen Bowman.
Born in 1855, Sarah McFadyen may have known Harry's mother Jane, and adopted her son from friendship rather than because of a blood relationship. According to Sarah McFadyen's obituary, she was from St. Catherine's. She died in 1932, at the home of her son Harry in Charlottetown.
Guardian, 1955: The annual Canadian Legion banquet was held in the Clover Club of th Legion Building last night and as presided over by the president. Stan Bryant. some two hundred members were in at- tendance. among them two South African veterans. Harry Hyde and Ambrose Rodd.
Harry married twice.
South African War Veteran Harry Hyde died at Age 83. One of the last of t he fast dwindling group of veterans of the South African War, Harry Hyde, 83, died yesterday. Mr Hyde was the son of the late Mr and Mrs Frank Hyde of New Haven and moved with his family to this city in 1898. At the time he went to South Africa he was the youngest soldier in his battalion.
Following his return to Canada he worked for a time at MacLean's foundry, and then the Trenton Car Shops, Trenton, NS. He came back to the Island and went to work in the blacksmith shops of the old Intercolonial Railway, later the CNR, where he remained until he retired in 1947.
He was survived by his second wife, the four children: Major Gordon Hyde, Royal Canadian Corps of Signals, Ottawa; Sally at home; Ann. Mrs Earl Todd, Bradalbane, and Helen, Mrs Robert Mayhew. Guardian May 5 1965, pg 1
Note about date of birth:
Although born in March 1881, from his baptismal record in 1885, Harry was not in the 1881 census. There was a 3 month old child, Ira, born in Decembere 1880 - which would make Harry's birth in March 1881 a bit problematic. His adoptive parents said he was age 8 in 1891. The official start date for the 1881 census was April 4 1881. Perhaps the census taker thought the 3 week old Harry/Ira was 3 months old?
