  Father	William SLAUENWHITE,   b. Oct 1850, Terence Bay, Halifax, NS d. Yes, date unknown
  Mother	Jessie Ann INNES,   b. Abt 1857, Prospect, Halifax, NS d. Yes, date unknown
  Marriage	2 Nov 1874	Halifax, Halifax, NS
  Remarriage	29 Nov 1874  [6, 7]
  	Upper Prospect, Halifax, NS
  Notes	The OLMC Parish Register records the marriage of William SLAUNWHITE, s/o Franics and Sophia, to Mary, d/o William and Julia Innes, on 29 Nov 1874 at Upper Prospect, and the civil register records the same marriage. But the civil register also records the marriage of William SLAUNWHITE, s/o Francis and Sophia, to Jessie, d/o William and Ann (this was Julia's middle name), on 2 Nov 1874 in an Anglican Ceremony at Halifax. This would lead to all sorts of hypotheses, were it not for the fact that Mary, d/o William and Julia Ann Innes is still living at home with her parents in 1881, while Jessie is shown as the wife of William in 1881. What seems to have happened, since William is Catholic and Jessie is Anglican, is that there were two ceremonies--one Anglican and one Catholic three weeks later, and that the Catholic record has the wrong sister, which the civil register copies.

  Family	Thomas William Riley SLAUENWHITE,   b. 19 Apr 1875, Terence Bay, Halifax, NS d. 24 Dec 1956, Halifax, Halifax, NS (Age 81 years)
  Marriage	28 Nov 1931	Halifax, Halifax, NS   [8]
  Notes	There is no known marriage for them before 1931 and, in 1931, they both state that they are single. Another peculiarity is that, in 19131, they both state that they are C of E when, both before and after the event, they are Catholic. From the 1901 Census, their marriage record, their respective death records, and their children's records, there is no doubt as to their identity, so i have no idea what this is all about. [Bob H]
