  	Extract from the register fo Eglise St-Henri, Montreal: "Mariage 18 Frs.

Anne de Montreal, d'un part et Bridget Mary Barry, fille mineure du feu David Barry et de Mary O'Leary de cette paroisse d'autre part, ne s'etant decouvert aucun empechement, Nous soussigne, Vicaire de cette paroisse, du consentement de la mere de la partie mineure, avons vecu leurs mutuel consentement de mariage et leur avons donne la benediction nuptiale en presence de William Barry, frere de l'epouse et de Annie O'Farrell, qui ainsi que les epoux, ont signe avec nous. Lecture faite. Bridget Mary Barry (signature) Francis Antoine de Bussiere (signature) Annie O'Farrell (signature) William Barry (signature) ? Roussin, pte Vic. (signature)" Points of interest: Bridget Mary Barry was 19 when she married Francis Antoine, but was still considered a minor. Francis Antoine is noted as being from St Jean Baptiste d'Ottawa parish. In that he was noted as a clerk in the 1881 Census, he may have gone to Ottawa to learn his trade as a tailor. By 1901, he and his family are living back in Montreal. The family name is noted as "de Bussiere".
