Sparkes, from Newfoundland bet approx. 1889- 1909. Marriage could have been at GM, St.John, Beaver Harbour, or even possibly,Deer Island, as the groom had brothers/ half brothers or relatives in all those areas. The couple went to California as evangelists sometime after their marriage but before 1912. thank you for any help.
