Quebec, Canada, Vital and Church Records (Drouin Collection) 1621 - 1968.
Anglican St. George 1921.

Marriage, all is hand written on each page of 'register'.
Column:
Burnett and O'Neill Marr.
Very faint date is 'Dec 7th'. (Date & December confirmed below. NO punctuation!)
 
John Burnett bachelor of Montreal son of George Burnett of Montreal and of Janet Reston
 his wife and Katharine (note 'ar') O'Neill spinster of Montreal daughter of William John O'Neill of Randalstown Ireland and of Jane Cameron his wife were married after due publication of Banns on the Seventh day of December in the year of our Lord Nineteen Hundred and Twenty One
This marriage was duly solemnized between us
Signed (all below each other):
John Burnett
Katherine O'Neill (Capital 'K' ... note 'er')
In the presence of
William John ?Mathe?
Ciara E Innes
Another signature ('Signed' by name below) and title to the right at 45 degrees is faint and illegible. Surely the person conducting the Service.

In the search for this marriage O'Neill was interpreted and written as Oweel. This 'caught my eye'!

There is NO sign of birth for Hugh in 1932.

That's it! I hope the above is helpful.

Elwyn, re above noted reply for Catherine's sailing in 1911. She was on the 'Lake Manitoba' which sailed from Belfast on 29th October 1911. Destination was Quebec and Montreal. The 'Master's name' was G C Evans. 'Kate' (identified thus) was listed age 20 and her occupation noted as 'Domestic'.

I would like to request a lookup for details about the burial of William Hender / Hendor; he was the watchmaker in Callington during the 1830s.

William is not on the 1841 census and I can only presume that he possibly died between 1830 and 1841. I have found a death registered September 1838 for William Hender at Liskeard. However, I have no idea of his age on this death registration or if this is the William I seek.

Many thanks,

B

Thank you for that useful snippett, Meliora. I shall look at that village name, but Hitchin still is favourite for me.

Hi Sue,

Thanks for your thoughts. Anything is possible, and confusion is the middle name in this game!

However, I shall 'stay' with all the information provided by Andrew. The writing on the page is quite clear, and all other handwritten information on other pages has proved to be accurate. I do not believe any of it was taken from gravestones, but compiled from known family details noted through the years.

It is always nice to hear the views of fellow researchers and I pleased to have read your input. Thank you for your time.

Happy searching to you - and to everyone else - in 2006.

Regards,

B
