Cumberland County, Nova Scotia, Canada — Marriage Register Scans, 1896–1908 (Page 2 of 2)
Photographed marriage-register pages for Cumberland County, Nova Scotia — Springhill, Amherst, West Brook, Oxford, and Salt Springs, 1896–1908 (page 2 of 2).
5 photographs. Scans of five photographed register pages; two of them (pages 66 and 88, Springhill-district volume) transcribed here for 30 marriage entries — the other three (pages 47, 48, 49) duplicate Register 1's images already transcribed on page 1 of this collection.
The following is page 2 of some marriage records for Cumberland County Nova Scotia. Springhill, Amherst, West Brook, Oxford, Salt Springs. Please note that they are not complete. I took the scans for my own research so I only have the pages that were of interest to me. I have put them online as they may be of use to someone else. You should also be aware that each page is not complete. For most of the scans I only have the first 1/2. That is the page that has When, Where and How Married, Name and Signatures of Parties, Age, Condition, Rank or Profession. I did not get the second 1/2 of the page that has Residence, Where Born, Parents and Witnesses. The marriage records that I have start in 1896.
The next 2 pages are only 1/2 the page. They have all the names of the people getting married but not the parents or witnesses.
