Transcriber A Notes:
3. Under the columns for the birth place of parents, the entries look like"Germania;;Germania", perhaps this was an old-fashioned spelling of Germany or a section of Prussia.
6 Flor?nce= ? could be a or e.
6 Cold B???? Springs Mass B???? Could be Beach or Brook, there is a Coldbrook Springs, Mass.
6 Looks like West Baidston, Mass. There is no West Baidston in Mass, however there is a West Boylston, Mass which this could be. West Boylston is 15 miles from Coldbrook Springs (above item).
7 First name could be Jane or James or Jamie.
7 Dutches is likely mis spelling of Dutchess.
7 Ridgefield C?n=C?n Could be Con or Can. Most likely Con, there is a Ridgefield, CT 8 miles from Wilton.
Transcriber B notes:
#6 Under the column for the bride's birth place, there is a very faint M after West Baidston, followed by an unreadable letter.
#7 Under the column for the bride's birth place, there is an N followed by what could be a very faint Y.
#7. The n in Janie looks like three humps, it could either be James or Janie.
