Martha Grace SIMMS married Matthew BISHOP on Jan 1^st, 1924. Irene BISHOP was born October 1924. Her father Matthew was accidently shot/killed while duck-hunting Jan. 16, 1926 and his daughter Lucy was born later that year. Irene's mother Martha later moved to Mouse Island, Port aux Basques with Irene & Lucy, and married widower Charles Morgan MUSSEAU. Charles already had 10 grown children, and he & Martha then had Matthew MUSSON(1932) & Bridget MUSSON (1930). The 1935 Mouse Island census shows Charles MUSSEAU, Martha, Irene, Bridget, Matthew and Lucy. Lucy, and Bridget both passed away in 1996... Charles' 1^st ten children are also deceased.
