By His Excellency The Right Honorable CHARLES STANLEY [MONCK],
VISCOUNT MONCK, Governor General of British North America, and
Captain General and Governor in Chief, in and over the Provinces of
Canada, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the Island of Prince Edward
and Vice Admiral of the same, &c. &c. &c.

WHEREAS Her Majesty has been graciously pleased to authorize Me to
grant Licenses for the Solemnization of Marriages AND WHEREAS

James Kerr of Brantford
in the County of Brant and
Miss Jeanie Paterson of
Stamford in the County of
Welland

are determined to enter into the Holy Bans of Matrimony, and are desirous of
having their marriage publicly solemnized in order that such their honest
desires may the more speedily have the due effect, and that they may be able to
procure the same to be lawfully solemnized without publication of Bans, I do
hereby for good causes give and grant this this License of Faculty as well as to them,
the said parties contracting as to all or every person or Minister duly ordained
and lawfully exercising his Ministry within that part of the Province of Canada
heretofore constituting the Province of Upper Canada, to solemnize and perform
the same: Provided always that by reason of any Affinity, Consanguinity, Precontract
or any other lawful cause there be no legal impediment in this
behalf, otherwise if any fraud shall appear to have been committed at the
time of granting this License either by false suggestions or concealment of
the truth that then this License shall be null and void to all intents and purposes whatsoever.

Given under my Hand and Seal at Brantford
this Second day of May
in the year of Our Lord one thousand eight hundred
and sixty three and of Her Majesty's
Reign the Twenty sixth

HS Ross
Deputy Governor
