Hi Ken and Al
Been doing some research into Francis John Kennedy and Ethel Elizabeth
O'Connor. See the attached marriage notes:
From the Ontario Archives, MS932, Reel # 392, registration # 016591, shows:
Francis John Kennedy, aged 24 years, marriage by Banns, to Ethel Elizabeth
O'Connor, age 17 years and daughter of John O'Connor and Ellen Stackpole of
South Gloucester. Witnesses were Lawrence Joseph Hall and Ida Mary Hall.
Married by Telesphore Deschamps at St Mary's Church, 199 Bayswater in
Ottawa, Ontario. Banns were announced Sunday, October 15, 1916.
I came across Fergus O'Conner who married Mary Evelyn HALL. This is Ethel's
brother. And the witnesses for Ethel and Francis Kennedy are Lawrence Joseph
HALL and Ida Mary Hall [nee O'Connor ] Now I know who the witnesses are.
Ethel's sister and brother-in-law.
Take care
Taylor

Hi Taylor and Al;
In the realm of possibilities, could it be that Mary Evelyn Hall (married
Fergus O'Connor) and Lawrence Joseph Hall (married Ida Mary O'Connor) were
also sister and brother?
