Excerpt from The STORY of RENFREW by Smallfield & Campbell, 1919, page 29

"Elisabeth (Lizzie) AIRTH and Angus McINNES were married March 22, 1833 by a Captain Bell at the British Army post at Castleford, as there was no church in Renfrew.

Mr Alex STEWART (bachelor Sandy) was groomsman and Jessie FORREST (afterwards Mrs Lawrence NAISMITH) was bridesmaid.

They all drove back from Castleford in 2 rigs, or "trainneaus" and their home-coming was celebrated by the firing off of powder and the giving of a dance.

Theirs was the 1st marriage in which both the parties were of the younger generation of Renfrewites."

Marion was baptized May 2, 1790 in Rutherglen, Lanark, Scotland, the 2nd of 4 children born to David Park and Agnes Urie.

She married Henry Airth on January 29, 1813 at Alexandra Street Parade Church in Glasgow, Lanark.

In June 1827, she sailed from Glasgow for Montreal with Henry and their 7 children. She also brought a church letter of commendation with her which stated that 'she was of exceptional moral character and would be an asset to any society in which she found herself'.

During the voyage, which would have been extremely difficult and crowded, another child was born June 27th. Sadly, the little boy, named James, died and was buried at sea a couple of days later.

Twin sons, Joseph & John, were born in 1828 in Canada, only to die almost immediately.
