My grandmother was born in Burnt Island, Placentia Bay in 1901. I understand it has been renamed to Port Anne. I found a link to an 1898 census of Burnt Island and I see my great-grandfather, Robert Shute, in the report. What I'm not finding anywhere is exactly where the settlement was. Google Earth shows Port Anne as a peninsula. Can anyone tell me where the settlement was and is there anything there today? Is there a road to get there? Are there any history links to Burnt Island anywhere? Thank you Jason for your help.

Hi Geraldine - I'm not positive, but I've added it to the list above. If you find out any info, feel free to share. Just leave a comment on the St. Anne's page.

Thanks for the question!

Where is St Annes? I'm looking for ancestors, my great grandmother, Margaret Sullivan married John Nolan from Fox Harbour. She may have come from St Annes.
