BEDFORD (Anglican Saint James) 1851

No. 19 -- William Baker & Bridget Glanskey were married by publication of
banns on Sunday the twentieth of July one thousand eight hundred and fifty
one.
by James Jones minister.

Bedford is a town located in the Montérégie region of southern Quebec, about
a half hour's drive from Burlington and Montreal. The Anglican parish of
Saint James was founded in 1851. The Baker-Glanskey marriage was the first
and only marriage recorded that year.

With regard to legitimacy, according to Catholic church law, a child born
after the marriage of the parents in the Catholic church is legitimate, even
if conceived before the wedding. On the other hand, a child born to a
couple who are both Catholics, or one of whom is Catholic, if their marriage
took place "outside the Church", whether in a non-Catholic rite or by a
civil official, may be civilly legitimate, but is not canonically
legitimate.

Back to the Baker-Glanskey marriage: If the children of William and Bridget
(Glanskey) Baker were baptized and later married in the Catholic Church, it
is likely that either (a) their marriage was "convalidated" by the Catholic
Church after this wedding, or (b) there was a Catholic marriage prior to the
"marriage by publication of banns" recorded at the Anglican Church in
Bedford.
