Harbour Grace Roman Catholic Marriages 1806 - 1845

After parsing the file, I fused the two databases, and added a few records that Fleming had for 1806-1822 that the other database didn't. I removed duplicates (with two exceptions) and generally noted where dates differed in the different transcriptions. In a number of cases the transcribers also read the names differently; I have generally only kept one version. In addition to different dates, at rare times a witness appears to have slipped by one or two lines so there may be errors there as well. I generally kept the witnesses as listed in Fleming's appendix. I then tried to find another source to verify the data. I compared the data to that in the Murphy-Connell-Kennedy-Broderick file. I found a posting of Cody and Sullivan marriages and compared their data to mine. Some Thistle records were from Gary Thistle. The Doyle and Hayden records are consistent with what I copied from the records at PANL. There will certainly be errors, from the original transcriptions, from the less-than-perfect optical character recognition, and possibly from my manipulations. The records were transcribed by JEREMY HILL.

Let the user beware. Anyone doing any serious research can use this file for leads, but ALWAYS check original records for confirmation.
