Things to be careful about
- Manual transcription created from the supplied JPG image because local OCR tools were unavailable.
- The mother's birthplace is abbreviated in the register as Pr Edw Island and likely refers to Prince Edward Island, Canada.
- The far-right date-of-record column is not legible for this line in the supplied image.
