William Scott of Galt Ellen Yates of Brantford Witness Isabella Duggind On Oct. 1st 1862 The information provided is minimalist in the extreme. The ages of the couple are not given. Their places of birth or parents names are not given. One witness is shown and her surname is nearly illegible and her place of residence is not shown. This is not entirely reflective of the information provided for other couples, but some are likewise. This situation may be found in other Anglican records as submitted to county registrars and may be a result of local record keeping though it isn't consistent. |
