Firth

Seary’s Names of Newfoundland has Gideon Firth in Harbour Grace in 1771. This seems to be an error. Keith Matthews notes have Gideon Fiott in Harbour Grace at that time. Brother of Nicolas, he was a regular captain in the Newfoundland trade. Given that the Fiotts were from Jersey, it is interesting that a William Firth marriage was recorded in Jersey:

This record lines up nicely with a couple who recorded baptisms in Harbour Grace. That couple seemed to have a connection to the Jersey Perchards.
