C,D,: Had 10 be married before that because he wouldn't go out to the gold mines out west [Yukon] with Johnny '·Iearn. [Johnny) made a fortune. Dick [our brother], did he go with Greg Doyle? .: [I-Ie went wiLh] Tom Doyle in Avondale, that's (also) who (our sister] Angela went with. He was looking for a girl all over. This day he was talking to Uncle ickie Ghaney, Alice Phillips' father, and he said he was after being all over finding a girl to go to the Labrador. [Uncle ickie Ghaney) said, "I'll tell you where to get a girL" Go in to Liz Griffin's, Liz they called her, and when they came in, she was milking the cow. I don't know ifit was out there or there. And Angela was up on the fence watching her milking the cow. He told [Mom] \\hat he was looking for. -Yes.,·' Angela said. ...-, 0 way," •[Mom] said, "she's too young ,Angela went two years [\\ith Tom Doyle] and then she went \\ith Bill Wade for a year. [She was] only fourteen....Shc told lots ofSlories but I can't remember them. 1ST lbey went on to talk about an uncle who supposedly had married a Labrador woman and settled in Labrador. This narrative is important in that it shows how the community and the family together preserve the family history. Greal Uncle Richard was married in White Bay and one ofhis daughters was a nun. according to a neighbour.lSI C.D.: Uncle Richard, Dad's brother, was on the Labrador. N.S.: He came home after being on the Labrador. lIe crucificd mc poor mother cleaning the dirt. She used to have to gel the scrubbing brush to clean the dirt and the oil off his clothes. Then he left and went lip to Tommy Philips and said everything about me Dad and her. And the needle going right Ihrough her hand. She had to get the pliers to get it out. .0.: She was scrubbing clothes on the board and he had needles and thread in his pocket. N.S.: Went fishing on the Labrador and married a Labrador woman.

Catherine Doyle confinned that neither had been asked but she could have gone with her husband ifshe had not been sick in 1944. Her reference 10 her "one chance" and her beliefthaL although she was a g.ood cook, she couldn't cook well enough to go on the Labrador suggests that there was 11 status to such a position which was lacking at home. 1supposed no one asked me (to go to the Labrador). C.D.: I had one chance to go to lhc Labrador. That was the year 1got married but I wasn't so well then. Labrador was a bad place to go ifyou had rhewnausm or anything. But I didn't think I could cook good enough. Couldn't get a girl anywhere and they took Unclc Fred McGrath. Uncle Fred got sick. Boils or something. Good cook but if I had to go, he (Jim) would have showed mc. Nobody asked me or Nell. .Not the year I got married, the next year (1944). They always had Alice and Bess Doyle. Alice (McGrath) down one summer with Ned Trahey. he split her side open wilh Ihe washing tub coming in through Ihe door and had to come home. l60 A major role of women within the fishery was cooking, but in fishing families, the enre ofchildren would also be part of their duties. As seen in Chapter 3, some children were either laken 10 the Labrador or born there.
