Harbour Grace - Anglican Marriage Records, 1776 - 1801

Please note that for the following transcription I have used the original registers held at St. Paul's Anglican Church in Harbour Grace. Due to a lack of punctuation, it was often difficult to discern where the bride was from or where the marriage occurred. It is recommended that the records be consulted to verify these marriages. Photocopies of these documents can be consulted at either:

St. Paul's Anglican Church
Cochrane Street, PO Box 341
Harbour Grace, NF A0A 2M0

Provincial Archives of NF and Labrador
Colonial Bldg., Military Road
St. John's, NF A1C 2C9

Anglican Archives
19 King's Bridge Road
St. John's, NF A1C 3K4

There are large sections of blank pages in the original marriage register between the years 1785 and 1802. The following was recorded on a well worn slip of paper inserted between the register pages. Assumably they are marriages performed in 1787 and 1788 that were never copied into the register:

Nov'r 30 87:Patrick Macknamarah, Elizabeth Martine
Dec'r 8th:H Webber, Mary Parsons
27th:Jn'o Moorse & Cath'ne Thistle

Daniel Janes & Eliz Butt
Jan'ry 8:Jn'o Martin & Mary Smith
13:Dan'l Green & Cath'ne Lumely
88 17 Jan'ry:Wm Porter, Mary Shepherd
Feb 25th:Wm Roberts, Mary Wms
Aprile 7th:Isaac Tratt, Martha Wms
Sept'r 28:Jas Cauley

Tho's Macnamara & Cat Maclaurine
Oct 3d:Jos Butt & Sarah Miller
12th:Jac. Smith, Eliz Sweet
30:Ter'ce Kennedy, Mary Clark
Nov'r 3d:Wm Nicolas & Jane Major
18:Rich'd Wells & Anne Andrews

The opposite side of this loose page also contains names and dates, but it is unclear if they are marriages or burials. Somme of the entries are definitely burials.These are the entries that could possibly be marriages:

87 Mar 7:Jn'o Lahy

Anast Foggathy
88 Oct'r 24:Joseph Squire

Phobe Fileur
29 Oct'r 87:Tho's Haco

Anne Penny

The records were transcribed by BONNIE HICKEY in January 2000. While I have endeavored to be as correct as humanly possible, there could be some typographical errors.
