From ancestry.com's collection "Quebec, Canada, Notarial Records, 1637-1935": At Montreal on 31 October 1901 Protest - Noted by Captain Eden J Minter Master of the Steamer "Donnacorna" At Montreal on 31 October 1901 Dec'l & Extension of Protest - By Captain Eden James Minter Master of the Steamer "Donnacorna" As explained by Wikipedia: "In maritime law, a sea protest is a notarized statement obtained after a ship enters port after a rough voyage. Its purpose is to protect the ship's charterer or owner from liability for damage to the cargo, the ship or to other ships in a collision, where this was caused by the perils of the sea (for example, bad weather). If it is known or suspected that such damage has occurred, the captain will make a sworn "protest in common form" at the office of a notary public, or a consul. If the full extent of any damage caused only becomes apparent while or after the cargo is unloaded, the captain may return to the office of the notary public to extend his protest. If a sea protest is not made, the owner or charterer may be liable for the damage caused and may be unable to produce the ship's log (which would have recorded the relevant incidents) as evidence in court." 1911 census: at 10 Stanley Street, Blyth, Northumberland (7 rooms), Eden James (head, 48, married, river pilot, born Whitstable, Kent), Mary Ann (wife, 46, married 22 years, 2 children both living, at home, born Blyth, Northumberland), James (son, 20, single, clerk, timber merchants, born Blyth, Northumberland), Mary Ann (daughter, 17, single, at home, born Blyth, Northumberland) and Henry BOWER (wife's father, 83, widower, gentleman, born Blyth, Northumberland).
