Reading notes

Things to be careful about

  • Manual transcription created from the cleaned repository PDF after automatic PDF text extraction failed.
  • The page contains multiple marriage entries; only the McKinnon/Conrad entry was transcribed.
  • The bride mother's maiden name appears to read Bruce.
  • This register entry corrects and corroborates the party names in source-marriage-record-donald-g-mckinnon-emma-j-conrad-1894, which had previously been misread from a lower-contrast certificate image.
