The TALES you probably never heard about

COOPER-McGILL

[Welland Telegraph October 29, 1903]

A very quiet wedding took place at four o’clock on Wednesday of last week at the Methodist parsonage, Thorold, when Rev J.R. Patterson performed the ceremony which united in marriage two of Thorold’s most popular young people. The contracting parties were Mr Albert Cooper, one of the most highly esteemed young men of the Mountain town, and Miss Jean McGill, elder daughter of Mr and Mrs James McGill, Ann street. The pretty bride was becomingly gowned in a costume of blue broadcloth with hat to match, was attended by her sister, Miss Beckie McGill, who was also attired in blue broadcloth. Mr Robert Higgins cousin of the bride, performed the duties of groomsman. After the ceremony the bridal party returned to the home of the bride’s parents where a dainty luncheon was served, after which they drove to Merritton, where Mr and Mrs Cooper left per 5.20 G,T.R. train for a brief honeymoon, which they will spend at Port Huron London, and other points.

    Very interesting for me. Albert and Jean are almost certainly my grandparents. I own wedding photographs of this very handsome couple. Sincere thanks
