J.W. Hiscock Sons
Entidade coletiva · 1894-

J. W. Hiscock Sons Limited was a Newfoundland fish merchant firm which engaged in the production and export of salt fish in Brigus, Conception Bay. In the 1930s, a plant was built in Brigus where the firm's schooners could offload fish to be stored and packed for subsequent shipment. Following the 1930s, the firm diversified, becoming involved in the general coasting trade. Shortly after incorporating in 1941, the firm invested in technology that made J. W. Hiscock Sons Limited one of the largest producers of dried salt cod in the province.

The business was founded in 1894 by Edmund Hiscock (d.1918) and his sons William J. Hiscock and John Wilcox Hiscock at Comfort Bight, Labrador, with a branch at nearby Hilton. After a few years, the firm was reorganized, with William acquiring the Hilton branch and John operating at Comfort Bight along with newer branches at Hiscock Islands and American Harbour. In 1910, John moved the headquarters of the firm to the newly purchased Frederick G. Jerrett property in Smokey, Labrador. Some time later, John turned the Comfort Bight operation over to William's son, Edmund, who operated it as a separate business. Ned, John's son, took over the Comfort Bight branch in 1941.

In 1969, a larger plant was built in Brigus that could accommodate both salt fish and fresh frozen production. In the next few years, the firm expanded its sphere of operation, establishing buying centres at many locations where fish was purchased from fishermen and shipped to Brigus for production. The firm also opened a plant at Trout River on the island's west coast, where fresh fish was purchased from local fishermen and salted before being sent to Brigus for washing, drying, and packing.

The firm moved into fresh frozen production in 1978, converting a portion of the plant for that purpose. The grandsons of John W. Hiscock also formed Hiscock Enterprises Limited to deal in frozen squid, caplin, mackerel, and dried squid. At about the same time, J. W. Hiscock Sons Limited also entered into a partnership with Oxford Frozen Foods Ltd., a Nova Scotia Company, to produce and export blueberries and partridgeberries, a move that lengthened the plant's production season. The imposition of the groundfish moratorium in 1992 eliminated the supply of codfish and terminated that aspect of the business. The firm is currently a seasonal operation (2003).

C.W. Kellock & Co.
Entidade coletiva · 1820-

C.W. Kellock & Co. was one of the leading merchant firms and ship brokers in Liverpool and London in the mid-nineteenth century. The company had its origins in a firm established in Liverpool by Daniel Tonge (1788-1848) in 1820. Tonge was a master mariner and shipowner in Liverpool who established himself as a merchant and agent for the sale of ships. By 1846, his son Percival had joined him to form Daniel Tonge and Son. Two years later, Henry Curry (d. 1865) was taken into the partnership, which was renamed Tonge, Curry & Co.

In 1850, Charles Walford Kellock (d. 1897), the son of Henry Gray Kellock, joined the firm as partner with Henry Curry and Percival Tonge. Five years later, the partnership was dissolved, with Percival Tonge continuing under the name of Tonge & Co. and Charles W. Kellock remaining with Henry Curry to form Curry, Kellock & Co. In October 1864, that partnership was dissolved and two companies emerged: H.F. Curry & Co. and C.W. Kellock & Co. H.F. Curry & Co. ceased operations in 1866, the year after Henry Curry's death.

After 1864 C.W. Kellock greatly expanded his business and opened an office in London under the management of his brother W.B. Kellock. In 1885, the management of the London office was taken over by George Kay, a partner of C.W. Kellock. In the mid-1800s, Kellock's two eldest sons, William Walter Kellock (d. 1929) and Henry Gray Kellock (d. 1926), joined the company and later became partners. Charles W. Kellock retired from the company and died in 1897. The company continued to operate under the partnership of his two sons. Upon their deaths, the management of the company was taken over by various senior partners within the firm. The Liverpool office was closed in 1972, but the London office is still active.

The Trinity Church of England School Board was formed c.1883, for the purpose of administering the schools of the Parish of Trinity. Schools which came under the jurisdiction of the Board were at Trinity, Lockston, Goose Cove, Dunfield, Trouty, Spaniard’s Cove, Old Bonaventure, New Bonaventure, Kerley’s Harbour, British Harbour, Delby’s Cove and Little
Harbour, Ireland’s Eye and Traytown and Ivanhoe.

School Boards were established as a result of the Education Act of 1876 which stated that schools would be administered by local denominational boards under the supervision of superintendents. The 1876 Act consolidated previous legislation, under which the government’s education grant was divided equally between the Protestant and Roman Catholic church for the administration of schools. Denominational education was entrenched under Term 17 of the Terms of Union in 1949, which confirmed the right of Churches to own and operate their own schools.

The school boards came directly under the Parish, the rector serving as chair of the Board for the parish. The Boards were responsible for organizing elementary education within their district. They built and maintained the school buildings, hired the teachers, maintained the accounts, conducted regular meetings, and made regular reports to the superintendent.

From 1962 to 1969 Trinity and Trinity East - Port Rexton Boards were combined and came under one administration. In 1969 all the Protestant denominations in Newfoundland amalgamated, reducing the number of boards from 229 to 22. The school board for the whole region has since been headquartered in Clarenville.
