Jennie McBride
ID # 2471, (1867-)
| Baptism | Jennie McBride was baptized on 1 November 1867 at Whitby, Ontario. |
| Marriage | She married William Charles Clark, son of William Clark and Emma Catherine Mathewson, on 25 December 1888 at Ainslie Street Methodist Church, Galt, Ontario. Marriage reg. 011976-88 Galt, Waterloo County William C. Clarke (sic), 24 bachelor, machinist, Methodist, born London, England, residing Galt. Parents William Clark and Emma Mathewson. Jennie McBride, 27, spinster, Methodist, born Whitby, Ontario, residing Galt. Parents Thomas McBride and Jane Garrison. Witnesses Henry A. Clark and Ida A. McBride, both of Galt. On 25 December, 1888, at Galt. Clergyman Rev. A. Cunningham. We also have the following: The United Church Archives have the marriage books for Ainslie Street Methodist Church in Galt. In 98.143L, 7os-1 It shows William Charles Clark, age 24, living in Galt, born in England, a batchelor, son of William Clark and Emma Matheson, marrying Jennie McBride, age 27, living in Galt and born in Whitby, daughter of Thos. McBride and Jane Garrison. The witnesses are Ida Amanda McBride and Annie Medcof of Galt. The date given for the marriage is 25 December 88. They are both Methodists and the marriage was performed by Rev. Andrew Cunningham by license. Why the discrepancy with the names of the witnesses isn't known. Annie Medcof appears in the church record. Henry Clark appears in the Galt registration. It seems reasonable that Henry, aka. Harry, was present at his brother's marriage. |
| Note | The way the family of William and Jennie is shown in the 1901 census at Galt is confusing. With William and Jennie is an Alex Harvie and wife (badly written) and an infant son. Alex Harvie is shown as William's brother. This is incorrect. Alex Harvie married Ida McBride, Jennie's sister. Alex Harvie was Jennie's brother-in-law. |
