Reading notes
Things to be careful about
- Transcribed from the Alberta Provincial Archives PDF on 22 April 2026.
- The entry is in the brides index only and does not name the groom. Linkage to Donald E. Ponceby comes from the matching groom index source with the same place, year, and index number.
- The source records the bride as Catherine M. Horne, which helps resolve the Catherine Horne/Mackie/McKay identity problem but does not replace the need for the full marriage registration.
