Hi Dave,
I've cleaned up the photo of Fr. Antonine Scannell and will send e-mail. Also had another look at your excellent website and now that we know who we are looking for can see his name quite clearly on the Calderwood\Forrest  marriage registration. So he's definitely the one who married them.

Cheers
Tony

Got your email Tony.  Have added better quality photo to my site. 
I never tend to pay much attention to that portion of the marriage certificates.
Will do from now on.
Thanks
Dave

Hi Pancho,
Inspired by Dave's brilliant site I have been posting up all my research to tribalpages. Up till now it has been in carrier bags, files and spreadsheets, but Dave's site gave me the inspiration to treat the Franciscan brothers as a family. Its very much a work in progress less than a week old but I've got Fr Francis Verhagens obituary up there already.

Enjoy

Hi Tony,
How are you doing?

I lost your email address and had to ask for help on this site to find you.  Happy outcome.

Anyway, I went for a walk today and decided to go to The Southern Necropolis - Pancho, I think you know it well but it was a first for me.

On my route, I passed St Francis and took some photos.
There are too many to post here but if you are interested Tony, send me a PM with your email address again and I'll pass them on to you.
This one is my least favourite although it shows the whole building - lovely building!

Dave

PS - thanks for the nice comments earlier.

Hello Tony
Just had a wee look at your site and discovered that my Gran and Grandad were also married
at St Francis on the 28th of February 1922 by Anthony Mulder ....another name on your site
by the way their names were Francis Sloey and Margaret O`Connor
I must have a look to see how many of my rellies were married there

Oh and Edwin Witsker Married my Great Grandparents on April 26th 1895 at St Francis
their names were James Slowey(note spelling)and mary McKenna

in case Tony doesn't get this, do you have his email address?  I really think he'd like the photos I took.
