Need help in deciphering  Gtgrandmother's surname  Mary  P**** as the  Scottish reverend as a mixed hand. Its early 1900's.
Also  the signature of Grdad Mic*el  Edvard Rei**. Any opinions?
Much appreciated. Thanks.

Did the marriage take place in Canada? I see the bride's parents are from Montreal and Quebec city, but before I got that far I read the names in question as French - Mary Duclos and Michel Edward Reine.

Yes, the Marriage did take place in Canada. So far, my  name combinations have turned up naught... this is really a search that has so far yielded bits and pieces. Grdad came to Canada in 1906 and my Granny in 1904. I've noted on many database documents that if information is  registered in say.. the first christian name only; that may be why I'm missing it as they seem to  have 3 christian names and called by the 3rd one...
Grdad says he was born in Barry S Wales on several documents but have never been able to locate. he spoke many languages including Welsh and says he spoke German in the home. He identifies himself as Welsh and Church of England. It was my Granny who was Presbyterian.  My Gtgrandmother Mary = Could that P*** be Paston .....altho some think the last letter is a 'w' rather than the "n".         Thank you ..all comers and opinions welcome.
 I think when I discover the surnames I'll be heard shouting over the sea.

Thank you Isabel...I think that the surname of my grdad appears to be Reine. as for Duclos...note the minister's mixed hand and that his capital "D" is one that apppears to be consistent. On the previous page which I do not have on here has  Parties  and that P and  Great Grandmother's surname  P**** are the same except that stick part is shorter. Gradad came to Canada 1906 according to the Census.

Further up it looks like Michael,though the signature looks more like Michel.Does it say son of Adrien/Adrian Reine of England.The female surname looks to start with a P to me also as all the D's look different.

Mary PUSHEN?  I see from Michael's death certificate on new Familysearch (on which his father is named as Adrian REIM) that his mother's name is given as Mary CUSHING. I can see PUSHEN and CUSHING being misheard for each other.

Senras and avm228 thank you for your replies.
So far I have been unable to locate a Marriage of my greatgrandparents Adrian and Mary or any linkage to the surnames. Tho' what I have here  is the actual registration of my grandparents' 1909 Marriage. Yes, Adrian Rei* of England is what it i think it says; referring to  Mickal's father. I have no idea whether the minister wrote down what he heard orally or if it was on a document. My grandfather has given several different years of birth on his documents.ie 1881/1882/1883.  An S seemes to be added on the end of our surname. It was always said by my older uncles that he had changed or altered the surname some as  WW1 and anything that sounded German. There is a Border Entry document that says he was born Pory Dock south Wales in 1884.  I havent seen the actual written copy of that. Grdad died in 1924 and there was no helpful information given.
