      • Witnessed by: Maria Brooks.

        Query is this Marriage correct ? would make Harriet only 12 years old.
        Age of consent in Canada from 1830 was 16.

        However birth record for Amos Brooks does state his mother is Harriet Wright and the ages in Census and on Gravestone indicate this is correct.
