"Our ancestor, Joseph Jones (married to Elizabeth Incher Jones) had a  
son,
Joseph who died 1 Mar 1864 and is buried at Christ Church in  
Stellarton (12
months, 5 days old). By 1871 Joseph is deceased and Elizabeth remarried.
I'm trying to find out if Joseph might be buried at the Christ  
Church?  He
would have died somewhere around 1865-1870.

In response to the query from Carol Jones (quoted above) I searched  
"Cemetery Inscriptions in Pictou County" by John MacKay, at the  
Pictou County Roots Society in New Glasgow, and found the following  
entry for Christ Church Cemetery in Stellarton:

"184 Joseph Jones  infant son   1864-1864  Mar.01 2m.5d  Enoch &  
Barbara"

This is the only headstone for "Jones" in the Christ Church Cemetery  
in John MacKay's book.

At Nova Scotia Historical Statistics I found two birth records that  
may be relevant:

"Ann Gordon Jones born 1865 in Albion Mines [i.e. Stellarton];  
Father: Enoch Jones; Mother: Barbara Carmichael"

"Obadiah Jones born 1867 in Albion Mines [i.e. Stellarton]; Father:  
Enoch Jones; Mother: Barbara Jones"
