My dad replied via email: =========== Dear Mike, i don't remember using your site or entering anything about the marriage of Rev John Nelson ot Mary marks. But then I am forgetful I checked his death date from several obituaries that I have . It seems that he died on Sunday 20th May 1877 aged 92. Although another obit reads he died on Sunday 20th April 1877(but 20th April 1877 was a friday so i think this is perhaps not correct) I can send you all the stuff I have on him but don't have any certificatesI don't know how to log on to your site to post comments there. ============ He has previously given me all the original documents he has, and I've uploaded them to the family search tree, but there was nothing concerning Mary mark's. So I assume it's from John Nelson's diary. So I asked my dad if he could lend it to me. ============ He sent me JPEGs of all John Nelson's diary, now to read through it (I might try to transcribe it, as that just makes it more accessible and searchable even). I've read pages 91-95, so far it's mostly just talked about his church ministry.
