Register of marriages for the county of Westmorland, 1790-1835

Question

Is anyone familiar with how the Register of marriages for the county of Westmorland, 1790-1835 is organized? 

This marriage is shown at FamilySearch as being transcribed from that Register. 

I can't find it. 

There is a jump from mid 1817 to mid 1818 around p 40. Are the copied pages out of order? Are there geographical location sections that i didn't spot? Did the celebrant occasionally notice he'd missed one, and enter it out of date order? Or am i just going blind, old age catching up with me!

Hi Shirlea,

Are you a member of the NB Genealogical Society?  The register is available to members on their website. It is organized according to a sequence number that includes the clerk who recorded it and the location, so it does jump around a bit.  I use the alphabetical index (starting at page 219 - males first, then females) to find the sequence number.  For instance A-185-0629 shows the marriage of Andrew Fillmore of Dorchester Parish and Ann Campbell of Sackville Parish on June 9, 1818.

Item A-011-0104 shows the marriage of Ann Wry and Isaac Campbell on December 15, 1808.  It doesn't show the location, but you could possibly figure it out by using the logic of the sequence #.

It all suggests that she married Andrew Fillmore 6 months after she became a widow - and that there may be a duplicate record here: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Wry-76.  

I added a little more info to Isaac Campbell's profile, in case that helps.
