Nassagaweya is a township in Halton County. The the time of this marriage, Dumfries Township had been divided into North and South. North Dumfries was a part of Waterloo County and South Dumfries was a part of Brant. The clergyman does not record the fact, but since the marriage was likely held at the home of the bride's family in all probability is was held in North Dumfries.
