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.

Brother William John O Neill - 1893–1971
Born 3 March 1893 - Randalstown, Antrim, Northern Ireland died 20-02-1971 -  Windsor, Essex, Ontario.

Obituary The Windsor Star Windsor, Ontario, Canada

https://www.newspapers.com/clip/69349735/obituary-for-william-oneill-john-aged/

Survived by a sister and brothers in Ireland.  Wonder if this means Catherine had passed away by 1971 ?
Elwyn have you any idea who the sister is ?
