Part 214b – Brunhammer Doherty Genealogy – 1917 Marriage – Harry E. Brunhammer & Anna M. McAteer

Afternoon,

Today I’m easing my eyes from scanning the 1810’s script of the scribes of the Grenada Registers Transcription project… This posting is of the 1917 Marriage of Andy’s grandparents Harry (Henry) E. Brunhammer and Anna M. McAteer.

Somewhere in the throes of my files are copies of this document that Carol, Sally, Andy, and I found, along with a number of other documents, a few years ago at the Delaware Public Archives. As the copies are all paper, the process to scan and categorize does take some time.

But most recently Ancestry.com has added and updated, which they continue to do regularly, to their services three databases pertaining to Delaware: Birth Records 1800-1932; Marriage Records, 1806-1935; and Death Records, 1811-1933. And I have been able to download a number of Brunhammer related documents.

The first is a State of Delaware indexed record, filed by the Groom’s surname, which appears to be the notation and recording by Rector of St. Ann’s Church, in Wilmington.

My transcription:

Brunhammer, Harry (Henry) E.
I hereby certify that on the Eighteenth day of September
A.D. 1917, at Wilmington in the County of New Castle
at the hour of Four o’clock P.M. Harry (Henry) E. Brunhammer
of Wilmington Del. and Anna M. McAteer
of Wilmington Del were by me united in the Holy Bonds of Matrimony in accordance
with the laws of the State of Delaware.
874

F: J Connelly.
Rector St. Ann’s Church.

SEP 19 1917.

We’re still searching for the actual Certificate of Marriage.

Enjoy,

Jim
