Hi there,
From my scrawled notes, I think that Ebenezer and Anne were married on June 9, 1860. Ebenezer is listed as a bachelor and Anne as a spinster, both from Bay Roberts. I can't seem to find what church they were married at or how old they were when married. I have info about what I think are Anne's siblings and parents but there does seem to be a large age gap. Maybe Ann is of an older generation? I believe Anne's parents were Richard and Julia Baggs (nee Mercer), married at St. Luke's, PdG on Dec. 14, 1837.
Let me know if you want more detailed info.
Jen
