This record can be found as image 12\/18 in the Quebec Vital and Church Records (Drouin Collection), 1621-1967 on Ancestry.com in the records for St-Armand (Methodist Church) 1857. The record appears on recto folio 12 (the front of folio 12).<\/p>\n

This record can also be found as image 9\/12 in the Quebec Vital and Church Records (Drouin Collection), 1621-1967 on Ancestry.com in the records for Clarenceville (Methodist Church) 1858. The record appears on recto folio 12 (the front of folio 12). The record does not appear to belong in the Clarenceville records. It seems that Ancestry.com duplicated part of the St-Armand (Methodist Church) records at the beginning of the Clarenceville records in error.<\/p>\n

The text of this document lists the bride’s name as Loretta Phidelia Olds, but she signs it as Loreta F Olds. Her birth and baptismal record provided her name as Loretta Fidelia Olds, and that is the spelling I have used in my database.<\/p>\n
