Note: York County and Carleton County Probate Files indexes were searched for the subject names Henry Blake 1786-1932. I also search York and Carleton County Registry Office indexes on microfilm for the periods 1849-1873 and for 1832-1899. Unfortunately, I did not find the name Henry Blake in any of the above. In Carleton County Probate, I found these Blakes: Thelma 1918, William 1864 and Edith I Blake 1934. In York County Probate, I found these Blakes: Charles 1970, Emily 1925 and Mary 1966. In Carleton County Registry indexes, I found these Blake entries: Mercy, grantee; William, grantee; George, Mercy and William, grantor (seller) and William, copy of last Will. The Probate and Registry record groups I searched are where one finds Wills. If a subject name is not found in these records, a Will was not registered or probated.

Marriage

Husband: Henry Lewis Blake

Wife: Margaret Scanlon

Child: Mary Ann Blake

Marriage:

Date: 13 APR 1854

Place: St Paul's Presbyterian Church, Fredericton, York, NB^[14]

Note: Hi William,

I found the marriage but it was not in Saint John. Actually I didn't find it in a county marriage record at all. I traced it through "Vital Stats from NB Newspapers" by Danny Johnson, where it was mentioned in volume 14 #3186. They were listed as both being from Fredericton. They were married at St. Paul's Church in Fredericton, York County (a Methodist Church) [my correction: Church of Scotland/ Presbyterian, later United Church of Canada, WDR] and the marriage is in the church records on microfilm but not in the civil records. I guess the minister forgot to put it in the civil record as he should have done. However, they were married on 13 April 1854 at the manse.
