On Dec 7, 1886, at Trinity Church, Galt, by Rev. E. M. Bland.

Under OGS publication nbr. 207, the Brantford branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society transcribed some marriage records from Trinity Anglican Church in Galt, year of transcription not given. This has some problems that may be related to the clergyman's handwriting, but also has some expanded and informative material.

'Nanton' was apparently the correct surname of the groom, though the transcription shows it as Minton. This may be disregarded. It does tell us that the groom's middle name was Meredith and that the bride's middle name was Hope. The groom's mother's middle name was Louisa. The priest-in-charge was Edward M. Bland, assisted by Jno. Ridley.

Two witnesses are shown on the registration and four are shown on the church's record. These are:

H. W. Nanton, Montreal; Laura F. M. Walker, London; G. W. Nunn and M. McTavish, residences not given, but probably local.

Laura Florence Mary Walker appears elsewhere in this tree and was a cousin of the bride. The clergyman's last name is shown as Mand, but Bland is correct. He was married to a cousin of the bride and he appears in this tree.
