Cameron, Mary (1837-1914)

Henderson’s BC Gazetteer and Directory, 1903, page 640.

Mary Cameron was the widow of Thomas Cameron. She lived at 1913 Beach Avenue from 1901 to 1903.

 

Family Background

Mary was born Mary Bridget Sullivan on October 15, 1837 (some sources say 1827, 1830 or 1835), probably in Bristol, England. Her parents were James and Mary Sullivan.

She married Thomas Cameron, who was born at Coldstream, Berwickshire, Scotland, in July 1821.

Thomas and Mary lived in San Jose, California, during the early 1850s, where some of their older children were born.

 

To British Columbia

After the family arrived in Victoria, British Columbia, in 1858, Thomas worked as a blacksmith and carriage builder.

By 1863, Thomas was in business with John Edward Hunt, a blacksmith who had earlier lived in California.

 

Thomas Cameron – British Columbia Guide and Directory – 1863 – page 57.

 

J M Hunt – British Columbia Guide and Directory – 1863 – page 66 [It appears that Mr. Hunt’s middle initial should be “E”.].

J. E. Hunt was a member of the Provincial Grand Lodge of Masons in 1867.

In 1868, Thomas Cameron and J.E. Hunt dissolved their partnership.

After Thomas died, Mary and her children continued to live in Victoria until the late 1890s.

Mary married John Herdman in Victoria on May 3, 1873. He was born in Belfast, Ireland, about 1827. His parents were Henry Herdman and Martha Mccullany.

John Herdman was a blacksmith and carriage maker who carried on a short-lived partnership with William Grimm.

The partnership ended after less than a year.

John Herdman continued to operate a wagon-building business on his own for a short time.

John Herdman appeared in the 1874 Victoria directory as a blacksmith on Cormorant Street.

He became insolvent in 1876.

It is not clear what happened to John Herdman.

In the 1880 United States census and the 1885 Washington State census, a blacksmith named John Herdman was living in Lewis County. According to the 1880 census form, he was 53 (born about 1827). In the 1885 census form, he was 61 (born about 1824). It is not certain that this is the same person who married Mary Cameron.
