From Robert Batt, October 14, 1998:
Hi Amalie. I was talking to my dad tonight. He had asked me your grandfather's name. When I told him it was Claude Tuffin he said he could recall that Garnet [Batt] (my grandfather) and Claude had travelled to Brooklyn, New York together in the early 1920's to look for work. Around that time, work was scarce in Nfld so it was common for men and women to leave the island and travel to the eastern states in search of employment. Both Garnet and Lauretta (his future wife - my grandmother) travelled to Brooklyn with Claude (and possibly others). Garnet and Lauretta worked in a clock factory. Not sure where Claude worked. In about 1923 Garnet and Lauretta returned to Herring Neck. (They had gotten married in
Brooklyn.) I would guess that Claude stayed and later moved to Mass. where he married your grandmother. |
