There were names in these communities that were not picked up by Seary and I believe
that the some of the entries for the earlier Hr. Grace (HGRC) were surnames of these
Conception Bay communities

A couple of examples of why I believe this is as follows:

Barron/Barren (Holyrood) There is a James on the 1835 Voters List for Holyrood
and on the 1864-65 directory as a fisherman. Seary shows a James Barron or Barren of Hr.
Grace Parish, 1806 (NF. Archives HGRC)

Targate (Holyrood): There is a John Targate on the 1835 Voters List for Holyrood,
as well as on the 1864-65 directory and the Targate surname still appeared on the 1871 Lovell's,
although John was no longer listed. Seary shows a John Targate of Hr. Grace, 1813 (NF Archives HGRC)

Based on the above, I believe that one can safely assume that if this name appears to be a match
for one of your ancestors from the Conception Bay Centre area, ten chances to one, it is. The
people "up the bay" as it was called, used St. Paul's Anglican and Immaculate Conception Parish
till they became a part of the parish of Brigus in 1833.

ANTHONY:		a baptismal name and surname of England, Wales and Ireland,   
			Ant (h) oine  of France, Anthony and Ant (h) oine of the Channel 
			Islands,  from the Latin personal name  Antonius, of unknown 
			origin, the name of many saints. Withycombe comments on the 
			spelling and pronuncation:  "The intrusive  h   in the spelling  
			Anthony was a later development, and seems not to appear before 
			the late 16th century.   It may have been the result of false 
			etymologizing, for Camden (1605) derives the name from Greek  
			anthos  (flower).  The  h  is, of course, silent, but there is some
			danger nowadays of a spelling pronuncation (already in use in USA),  
			and the older spelling is to be preferred."(Reaney, Withycombe, 
			Turk).   Guppy found Anthony mostly in South Wales, and in smaller 
			number in Norfolk,Derbyshire and Devon;   McLysaght in Waterford 
			since the 17th century.

			smith smites, and his honoured name rings down the ages like
