Grey County Marriage Register

Extracted from a list of marriages solemnized by Christian Behrens, a minister of the Synod of Canada of the Lutheran Church for the year ending 31st Day of December, A.D. 1862

Adam Grein, 30, born Hesse Darmstadt, Germany, residing Normanby Township. Parents Henry Grein and Elizabeth Peter.
Anna Margaret Feick, 17, born Hesse Darmstadt, Germany, residing Normanby Township. Parents Vallentin Feick and Katharina Schulin.
Witnesses George Metzger and Barbara ...illeg..., both of Normanby.
On March 4, 1862.

The groom's surname is probably not precisely rendered as Grein. This transcription is provided by Elizabeth Hancocks, C.G., in her County Marriages of Ontari9o, 1858-1869, Vol. 33, Grey County. (This is rather more in the way of an index.) Certainly, 'Grein' is rendered as such in later documents and it is how the name is shown on Adam and Margaret's gravestones.

See notes for Margaret's mother for the rendering of the name Schul/Schuler/Schulin.
 
NoteThe list of children shown for Adam Grein and Anna Margaret Feick are taken from census information and, for the moment, their years of birth are approximate. Care should be taken for there was also an Adam Grein who was married first to a Dora Kaufman and then to an Anna Wettlaufer. Anna Wettlaufer Grein is buried in St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Cemetery. The marriage registration that we have for Adam Grein and Anna Feick is of some help, but there is certainly room here for error. There are a couple of birth registrations that assist with clarity. Also, whereas Anna Margaret Feick Grein was born in 1845, Anna Wettlaufer Grein was born in 1862.
