daughter Sophia, aged 11, in the 1861 Canadian Census.[4] David Morrell may have been
a son of Hugh Morell, the first Newcastle
Postmaster, who had come to New Brunswick from Ireland around 1826, by his
wife, Margaret Ross, who had remained behind in
Ireland.[5]
In the 1881 Canadian Census William and Sophia Maltby

Benjamin F. Maltby lived in Newcastle, where
he was engaged in the tinware, plumbing and heating, and appliance business
with his son, William C. Maltby. Hamilton’s biographical sketch of him says that he
“learned the tinsmithing trade from J. Haley Phinney, and founded the B.F.
Maltby Co., a plumbing and heating firm in Newcastle, in 1904. In 1906 he was
advertising stoves of all types for sale and plumbing and heating installations
and repairs. For many years his was the principal business of its kind in the
town. In 1949, in partnership with his son W. C. Maltby, he bought A.C. McLean & Sons, the largest plumbing and heating
firm in Chatham. The business was still operating under B.F. Maltby’s name
thirty years after his death.”[24]
He was also the Fire Chief in 1917. Hamilton continues, “Maltby was a member of
Newcastle’s volunteer fire brigade for many years and was named chief in 1917,
as successor to Charles M. Dickison. He was both a member of
the Presbyterian-United Church and a supporter of the Salvation Army. His
