Surnames: Crombie, Nicholson, Steel
I just found out that three Steel girls from Chatham, New Brunswick were married by Rev. Robert Patterson who seems to have had his parish in Bedeque.
Jeannette/Janet married William Nicholson in 1848 (I thought in Summerside) but by Rev. Patterson.
Her two sisters were also married by him:
Marion married James Combie in 1856.
Elizabeth married Alexander Combie in 1853.
These two went back to NB to live. I am trying to figure out why they would go to PEI to marry. Was it some sort of Gretna Green?
