St. John's Gower Street Methodist Church Marriages

What follows is a list of all Pike marriages in the St. John's Gower Street Methodist Church records held at PANL as of February 2006. 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.

At PANL these records are in several volumes as follows:

1892 - 1898
1898 - 1904
1904 - 1908
1908 - 1919
1919 - 1923
1924 - 1928
1929 - 1934
1934 - 1939
1939 - 1942
1942 - 1945

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.
