GS2987 First Church Marriage Records After publication of banns, at Dumfries James Hastings of Blenheim Christian McArthur of Dumfries Witnesses James Keachie and John McColl Note: The image is very poor on this reel. The above transcription is partly from the GS2987, but also in part from Volume9, Part 2, The marriage Registers of Upper Canada/Canada West, Wellington District, 1852-1857, Dan Walker & Fawne Stratford-Devai, Global Heritage Press, 2000. The researchers for this book draw on microfilm LCM 30 and 31 which are to be found at the United Church of Canada Archives. This transcription shows witness John's surname as McCall. McColl is the more likely correct. Any error here is my own. |
