This record can be found as image 15/22 in the Quebec Vital and Church Records (Drouin Collection), 1621-1967 on Ancestry.com in the records for St-Armand-Est (Baptist Church) 1851. The record appears on verso folio 14 (the back of folio 14).
In this particular record, all signatures are in the minister’s hand, which may account for the fact that Maryette Olds’ name is written as Mary Etts.
In a personal communication, Marlene Simmons informed me that a second record of this marriage appears, with original signatures, in the records of the Baptist Church serving Stanbridge, Quebec (second register for the year 1849+) on the front of folio 41.
I am not certain why the marriage appears in the records for two different Baptist Churches, one in St. Armands East and one in Stanbridge. The two records contain the same information except that the one from Stanbridge gives the year as one thousand eight hundred and fifty one instead of one one thousand eight hundred and fifty one. In addition, Maryette Olds signed her name correctly in the Stanbridge record, while the minister wrote her name as Mary Etts in the St. Armands East record.
