Marriage Cyrus Dougan and Marguerite Amy Gardiner, 1917

Victoria Daily Times, 24 May 1917

Wedded Tuesday

Christ Church Cathedral was the scene of a quiet wedding on Tuesday evening, when Very Rev Dean Quainton united in marriage Marguerite Amy, eldest daughter of Mr and Mrs Charles F Gardiner, 1013 Fairfield road, and Cyrus J Dougan, youngest son of the late Mr and Mrs James Dougan, of “Hill Bank” Cobble Hill.  The church was attractive with early summer flowers. The bride, who was given in marriage by her father, wore a pretty travelling costume of sand colored gabardine with a white hat, and carried a shower bouquet of bride’s roses.  Miss Dorothy Gardiner her sister, attended her as bridesmaid, wearing a smart costume of pale grey with rose trimmings. Her hat was also old rose in coloring, and her bouquet was of pink roses. Mr George Stevenson acted as best man.  A reception was held at the home of the bride’s parents immediately following the ceremony, many friends calling to extend their good wishes.  The wedding trip includes a visit to Harrison Hot Springs.

  1. Hi Gillian. Did a search through the Royal BC Museum archives and came up with a death entry for Susannah Jane Gardiner. Didn’t find anything else for her, though, so no maiden name popped. But hope this adds another wee thread to the family tree. How are you coping with the COVID-19 thing where you are? We are both fine. Very happy we have the garden to keep us occupied although it has been a cool spring and start to summer this year. Take care! Leslie
