Reading notes

Things to be careful about

  • Manual transcription created from the cleaned repository PDF after automatic PDF text extraction failed.
  • The bride's birthplace is abbreviated in the register as "Pr Edw Island", likely Prince Edward Island, Canada.
  • The officiant role is abbreviated as "M.G." in the register.
  • The bride's surname appears here as "Mac Kennon"; the 1902 Boston birth register for Donald Edwin Ponceby records the mother as Margaret McKinnon.
