Family History bits...

On Apr 9th  1913, my Grandfather Eliakim Rowsell a 28 year old bachelor and lumberman, married Elizabeth Budgell, a 24 year old spinster. Eliakim was born on Dec 15th 1884 at Exploits Island, son of Robert Rowsell and Elizabeth Ann Stride. Elizabeth was born Mar 31 1889 at Leading Tickles, daughter of Isaac Budgell & Rosanna Noseworthy. Minister was an Ensign Ebsary, and the ceremony was witnessed by Adolphus Rowsell and Mollie Frampton.
