RESEARCH NOTES and UPDATES:
- About the Alfred James Compton and Jane Rogers family: From a little notebook that lists Rogers family births, deaths, and marriages (that I think may have been written by Jane herself) it has a listing of Alfred and Jane’s children, the birthdates agree with what you have on the website, but the eldest two children were born in Cambridge. The notebook gives their addresses at the time -
Janet Lisle Compton born in Cambridge. Number 6 Parker Street, Mass, October 28, 1883
Ethel M. Compton born in Cambridge Number 10 Banks Street Cambridge June 18, 1885
Medora W. Compton born St. Eleanors July 29, 1887
Ralph E. Compton born Jan 31, 1890 in St. Eleanors
I think your Compton information mentions that the eldest child Janet Lisle was a twin. Her mother Jane Rogers was also a twin. She and her sister Julia Rogers were born 23 August 1859.
On 6 Nov 1882 when Alfred James was 26, he married Mary Jane* ROGERS, daughter of Jonathan Vernum ROGERS (1820-1899) & Jane CRAIG (1831-1879), in St Johns Anglican Church, St Eleanors, Prince Co., PEI, Canada. Born on 23 Aug 1859 in Boston, Mass., USA. Mary Jane* died in St Eleanors, Prince Co, PEI, Canada, on 9 Nov 1937; she was 78. Buried on 11 Nov 1937 in St Johns Anglican Church, St Eleanors, PEI, Canada.

- Daughter of Johnathan Rogers and Jane Craig Jonathan V Rogers married 3 times, first to Rebeccah Young (married Nov 26 1843, 5 children) and then to Sarah H. S???? (married Nov 17 1851, no children). Jane Craig (born Apr 19, 1831) was his 3rd wife - they married Oct 12,1858, and their children were:
- twins Jane and Julia A Rogers born Aug 23, 1859

- Jane was the sister of Lucy, who married Alfred's brother, Thomas.
- Jane Rogers [like her daughter Janet] was also a twin. She and her sister Julia Rogers were born 23 August 1859.
- OCCUPATION: teacher
- DEATH: age 78
- BURIAL: G.R. Harrison
Summerside Journal 15 November 1937,p.5,col.1
Funeral of Mrs Alfred Compton St Eleanors
Passed away last Thursday at the age of 78 funeral was held on Thursday from her late residence for St.John's Church and was largely attended. Rev. Mr Harrison officiated.The Pall bearers were Roy Tanton,Reginald Compton,Leonard Pickering, Stanley Tanton,Burleigh Owen, and MAJOR MAY.

RESEARCH NOTES:
- Known as Jane, or perhaps Jean?
- I had thought that Jane Rogers was born in St. Eleanors because her father Jonathan Rogers had moved from Cape Cod to St. Eleanors and married Jane Craig of Malpeque PEI in 1858. Perhaps they travelled back to Massachusetts in the summer of 1859 for a visit?

- Legends: family may have connections to the Rogers Sugar family; may also be descended from Captain Rogers who came over (with other Roger relatives) on the Mayflower. He is “credited” with scalping the natives / indians, so in turn the indians started scalping the white man.
[There was a Thomas Rogers and son Joseph on the Mayflower - see http://mayflowerhistory.com/rogers-thomas/]

From family sources:
- Alfred Compton married Jane Rogers. Her father Jonathan Rogers immigrated from the U.S. and is a direct descendant of Thomas Rogers who was a signatory to the Mayflower Compact. I have a Compton cousin who joined the Mayflower Society and Thomas Rogers Society.

- 1947 obit for her husband Ernest Compton
Summerside Journal 5 June 1947, page 2, col. 5
Mr. Ernest Compton Friends and relatives heard with surprise and regret the passing Sunday morning at [9?] o'clock of Mr. Ernest Compton at the age of 86 years. He was a life long resident of St. Eleanors, where last September he celebrated his Golden Wedding Anniversary. Though never of robust health, still he was always up and about his home until about a week before his death when even with the best of medical attention and loving care he gradually became weaker, until the end came on the above date.

He leaves to mourn his passing his wife, the former Gertrude Mills of St. Eleanors; also two sons and two daughters, namely: Halden and Creelman of St. Eleanors; (Marie) Mrs. Bert Brown of Sherbrooke, P.E.I., and (Jean), Mrs. Paul Kristiansen of St. Eleanors; also 11 grandchildren.

The funeral which was largely attended took place Tuesday, May 13th, from his home to St. John's Church, St. Eleanors. The Rev. G. R. Harrison officiated at the house and grave. The hymns sung were "Nearer My God To Thee" and "Breathe On Me Breath of God". The pallbearers were Ralph Compton, Fred Mills, Horace Mills, Kenneth Mills, Nelson Compton and Earl Cannon. He was the last of the family of ten of the late Edmund Compton and his wife Mary Jane (Tanton) Compton.

From other researchers:
- CHRISTENING: Rev. Thos. B. McLean
- Called Gertrude, or Gertie; name listed as Jane Ellen Mills in 1881 Census.
- Married a Compton relative
- had another boy baby about 1914, died about 1914.

RESEARCH NOTES:
- Have now merged 2 records for Gertrude: 1) Ellen Gertrude Mills, wife of Ernest Compton, and 2) Virginia Ellen Gertrude Mills, daughter of Hubert Mills and Mary Jane Tanton.
- DWhad "V" as her first name [originally]. Church of England baptism records for children had Helen Gertrude.

RESEARCH NOTES:
Lots of confusion because there were several Lisle Comptons over several generations, including 2 Janet Lisle Comptons (one born 1862, the daughter of Edmund Compton and Isabel Mary JaneTanton, who married Thomas Atkins, and the other born 1883 Cambridge Mass, the daughter of Alfred James Compton and Mary Jane Rogers, who married Henry Elliot). Much closer in age, there was a Lisle Compton Craswell baptised 21 Dec 1864 (first cousin to the Janet Lisle Compton born 1862 - their mothers were sisters):
- baptised as Janet Lisle Compton; name possibly Alice Lisle D. Compton?; two Lisles?
- Lisle named in father’s [Edmund’s] will, so this couldn’t be person who died 1880. Also 1881 census lists Lisle living in Edmund’s household, age 17.
- A[nother] Lisle Compton married [should read “was”] a Craswell. [This one died of consumption, age 18]. Obit says she was niece of Edmund Compton [Edmund’s wife was a Tanton, and Arthur Craswell’s wife was a Tanton (sister)]?!?
- There was a Lisle Compton who died 03-May-1880, of consumption, in Atchinson, KS, but this can not be the same person as she is listed as the niece of Edmond Compton. As well, the 1881 Census lists Lisle living with her father, Edmond's household, age 17. Lisle perhaps, married to Thomas Atkins, There was also a Lisle Compton married to a Craswell.
- From Rose: Janet 'Lisle' Compton birth, place and parentage ok, don't know about her
marriage. The Notes for isn't correct. Lisle Compton who died 3 May 1880 in
Atchinson, Kansas of consumption was in fact Lisle Compton CRASWELL.
Living there with her fathers sister and family, the Schurmans. Have copies of the
baptismals of the Craswell children. There were 4, Sarah died after the birth of
twin daughters - Lisle Compton and Catherine Sarah, baptised Dec 21, 1864

- can’t find a Janet or Lisle Atkins (or Ernest or Thomass) in Canada in 1901 or 1911 census :(
Janet Lisle* married Thomas ATKINS. Born ca 1860.
