Rev E.P. Wallace
I am looking for information on Rev E.P. Wallace and what church he may have been affiliated with in Campbellton, New Brunswick, Canada around 1898.
Campbellton had a fire in 1910 that must have destroyed alot of records and I am having difficulty finding any for my family who lived there turn of the century.
I do have one record entered by Rev E.P. Wallace and if I know what church he was affiliated with, I may be able to find where my great grandfather is buried.
If anyone has this info or can point me in the right direction as to where to look for this info I would appreciate it. -mmichaud

REV E.P. Wallace
I am unable to find birth records for my grandmothers siblings, as well a her fathers death record while the family lived in Campbellton Town 1894 – 1901. This may be due to the fact that there was a fire in Campbellton in 1910 that destroyed the town so these records may be lost.
I do however have a 1898 death record for a baby I believe was theirs, and the priest who recorded it was E.P. Wallace. If I knew what church he was servicing then I would know what church they were parishoners in and may be able to find my ggrandfathers grave.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. -Mary
This doesn’t answer your question directly, but does provide some information about Rev. E P Wallace.
We did a Google search on “Rev E P Wallace” and here are some of the sites and extracts from the sites. From these records it appears that Rev. Wallace was a Catholic Reverend and served in a number of places through at least 1938. Here are the websites and the extracts:

The early Miramichi Church was part of the Diocese of Quebec (1674 – 1829) and was comprised of five “Mission Stations”: Bartibog, Malcolm’s Chapel, Burnt Church, Tabusintac and Bay du Vin. With the influx of Irish immigrants the number of Catholics rapidly increased and the area served by the Church expanded to include Renous and the Upper-Miramichi region.
On September 6, 1916 the corner stone of the church was blessed by Rev. Louis O’Leary, Auxilliary Bishop of Chatham assisted by Rev. P.W. Dixon of Newcastle, Rev. E.P. Wallace of Campbellton.
