Curling (Corner Brook) Methodist Marriages

What follows is a list of all Pike marriages in the Curling (Corner Brook) Methodist church records held at PANL as of February 2018. This list constitutes a typescript of my handwritten extraction from photocopies of the original records, which is to say that I may have inadvertantly introduced some errors while transcribing and typing... as always, you should double-check against the original records. That said, if you spot any mistakes that I have made, please let me know at dapike@mun.ca. Additional Pike entries from other Newfoundland church records can also be found on my website.

Some comments about this list:

The entries below are in the same order as presented in the church records, which was not always in chronological order.
Unless I mistakenly overlooked an entry or two, this is a complete list of all Pike entries, including all entries where one of the marriage witnesses had Pike in his/her name.
I also included instances in which somebody's middle name was Pike.

At PANL these records are in several bound volumes as follows:

1902 - 1927
1928 - 1939
1939 - 1949
1949 - 1963
1963 - 1980

The format of most of the entries that follow is as follows:

Line 1: Marriage Number, and Groom's name, abode, occupation, etc
Line 2: Bride's name, abode, etc
Line 3: Marriage date and location
Line 4: List of witnesses

Entries are separated by one or more blank lines.
