Biography
The following is a marriage record for the daughter of Ernest Lengley Blenkhorn and Jennie L. Cole. Her name was Florence Elizabeth Blenkhorn. -- New Brunswick Marriages Name BLENKHORN, FLORENCE ELIZABETH Married WASSON, WALTER DANIEL Date 3 June 1930 County WESTMORLAND Parish SACKVILLE
Groom: Nt? Rt? (I'm thinking Nt, for Night) agent at Eastern Tel, and TelCo. (Telephone company?). Bachelor, 32 (appears to say 32) years old, Baptist, living in St. John, New Brunswick, Canada. Born in Hampstead, Queens Co., New Brunswick, Canada. Parents: Charles Henry Wasson (b. Hampstead, Queens Co., New Brunswick, Canada) and Julia Blanche Palmer. (1930-32=1898 for his approx year of birth, if 32 was correct) Signed it as "W.D. Wasson"
Bride: Spinster, School teacher, She was 20 at marriage. (1930-20=1910 for approx birth year). Born and living in Sackville, West Co., New Brunswick, Canada. Parents: Ernest Lengley Blenkhorn (b.Maccan(? Not very easily legible, not a place that I'm familiar with), Nova Scotia, Canada.) and Jennie L. Cole. Signed it as "Florence E. Blenkhorn"
--
Knowing how they sign their names often helps in searching for their children and other records.
--
If the daughter was born in 1910, I usually assume that the child was born about 5 years into the marriage of the parents, and that the parents were about 20 at the age of marriage. I subtract 25 years from the child's approx year of birth to get the approx year of birth for the parent of that child. Therefore: 1910-25=1885 for the approx birth year for both Ernest Lengley Blenkhorn and Jennie L. Cole.
