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 form as "Pr. Edw. Isld.", likely Prince Edward Island, Canada.
- The lower marriage-return section is partially obscured by bleed-through from the reverse side, but the officiant name, residence, and official station remain legible.
- The bride's surname appears here as "Mac Kennon"; the 1902 Boston birth register for Donald Edwin Ponceby records the mother as Margaret McKinnon.

Notes
Archive notes
- Source remains proposed pending review.
- Printed citation page removed from repository PDF; original download preserved as 05_raw/pdfs/marriage-record-for-walter-pownceby-and-margaret-mac-kennon-original-with-citation.pdf.
- This image-backed marriage certificate is stronger evidence for the 9 January 1901 marriage than the corresponding register index entry alone.
- The names Walter Pownceby and Margaret Mac Kennon are consistent with the parents named in the 1902 Boston birth register entry for Donald Edwin Ponceby, but no canonical person records were added or updated in this ingest.
- No normalized marriage event was added yet because the repo does not currently have canonical person records for Walter Pownceby or Margaret Mac Kennon.
- Transcript-22.pdf and Transcript-24.pdf were checked on 22 April 2026 and match this same FamilySearch image/citation; no duplicate source record was created.
