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.
 
DeathShe died on 5 February 1876 at Galt, Waterloo Co., Ontario. 
BurialShe was buried at Section 1, Mountview Cemetery, Galt. 
NoteHelen Yates has yet to be found in the 1851 census. She appears in Galt at the time of the 1861 census working as a servant. She is with her husband William in Galt at the time of the 1871 census. Both the 1861 and 1871 census shows her place of birth as Ireland.
