Good morning list, Can anyone tell me how I might get an announcement of a wedding on July 1, 1894 in Fredericton. I am looking for the wedding of Charles A. Fleet to Maggie Wisely Segee. PANB says they were married on Oct. 4, 1894 which is wrong. They have a wedding certificate, signed October 4, 1894. Why would the minister wait almost three months to issue this certificate? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, Walter Fleet in PA

Hi Walter, Actually, the marriage is dated 16 Oct 1894 http://archives.gnb.ca/APPS/GovRecs/VISSE/141B7.aspx?culture=en-CA&guid=2BCBA5FD-BB9E-4368-87B1-FC8B708B4907 I would think that had there been a marriage writeup it would show on the New Brunswick Newspaper Statistics also found on the NB Archives website - and I couldn't find one for either Flett nor Fleet. The marriage record shows that they were both of the Methodist faith. The Archives has County Guides which include films for various Churches. You can do an inter-library loan or you could contact them to see if they could do a lookup. There are 4 Methodist Churches listed in the York County Guide http://archives.gnb.ca/Documents/CountyGuides/York_en-CA.pdf (Churches are listed at the end of the guides). Their marriage record said that it was the Rev. George Best Payson who had officiated. I tried to find which church Rev. Payson may have been at the time of their marriage but no luck so far. The Methodist Church became part of the United Church of Canada - you could contact their archives to see if they can assist you where the Rev. Payson is concerned. http://www.united-church.ca/local/archives/on Shirley On Tue, Apr 19, 2011 at 4:49 AM, Walter R.
