"Provincial Archives of New Brunswick Daniel F Johnson's New Brunswick Newspaper Vital Statistics Daniel F. Johnson : Volume 46 Number 597

Date November 14 1878 County Westmorland Place Sackville Newspaper Chignecto Post

m. Eatonville, 28th ult., by Rev. R. Bird, Samuel F. ELLS, Canning / Miss Julia FRASER, Fraserville."

28 ult means the 28th day of the previous month. That month of Print was November, so we know that they married on 28 October 1878.

We can figure a few things by reading this article. 1)the exact marriage date. 2)Her last location that I know of was the marriage in Eatonville. She or her husband may have ties to there. 3)Fraserville is on one side of Advocate Harbour, and Eatonville is in the other direction near Advocate Harbour. 4)The marriage announcement was in the newspaper in St. John, New Brunswick, Canada, so they may have had ties to that area. 5)Her husband, Samuel F. ELLS, so says the article, was from Canning, Nova Scotia. Canning is across the bay from Parrsboro. 6) if they married on 28 October 1878, and we know that most people don't have marriages before age 15, then 1878-15=1863. Both parties would have had to have been born before 1863. How much earlier is not yet known. 7) We know that they would have had to have died after the marriage date, so they would have died after 1878, How much later is not yet known.

I Googled Fraserville, and it showed that it's in Cumberland Co., Nova Scotia, between Parrsboro and Advocate Harbour.
