Marriages, Puslinch Township, Wellington County, Ontario

Volume 2

    In 2004, with the assistance of Canada’s famous Aberfoyle Mill Restaurant, Marjorie Clark published a book of newspaper reports of marriages of Puslinch Township people. That book included marriages up to the year 1900.

    Now, volume 2 is available.  This new collection advances as far as the year 1939, with quite a few accounts of ceremonies that took place outside of Puslinch. 

    Here are samples of the reports:

MCMASTER – MCLARTY

At Young’s Hotel in Galt, on Thursday last, by Rev. John Bayne, J. McMaster to Christy McLarty, both of Puslinch. - Wednesday, January 31, 1855

QUIRK – FOLEY

A pretty wedding was celebrated on Monday morning at the Church of Our Lady, when Julia A. Foley, only daughter of Mr. Thomas Foley of Puslinch, became the bride of Mr. William P. Quirk, the well-known builder. At 7:30, the nuptial mass was said by Rev. Father O’Loane, S.J., a large number of the friends of the bride and the groom being present. Mr. Thomas Foley, eldest brother of the bride, escorted her to the altar and she was attended by Miss Mary Quirk, sister of the groom. The groomsman was Mr. Fred Foley of Montreal, the bride’s brother. The bride was gowned in a suit of stone blue cloth, with white satin trimmings, a black hat, with dashes of white and she carried a bouquet of carnations. The bridesmaid wore pale green, trimmed with white satin. She also wore a black hat and carried pink carnations. A bountiful wedding breakfast was subsequently partaken of at the residence of the bride’s father in Puslinch, where a reception was held from ten to two o’clock. The bride’s friends showed their esteem for her by many beautiful and valuable gifts. Mr. and Mrs. Quirk are spending their honeymoon in southern points. - November 20, 1902
