Special Note:

The name above for Bella's (Isabell) McDonald's mother appears to be inaccurate compared to census & church records with her name. In all the other records I have seen, her mother's name is Mary Ann Morris, not Morrison. This Marriage Slip was obtained from PANS RG 32 Series M. Vol. 73-74, Marriage Licenses Colchester County, 1876, no. 128, mfm. 16063. Also, on the information provided above, it is all typed exactly as written on the Marriage Slip, they are not my typos <smile>.
