Thanks to all those who responded to the previous post seeking information about the marriages of Brinston men. Now I will list the Brinston brides and their grooms where I lack marriage date and place and hope readers can fill in more blanks. Most are from various places in Newfoundland but you will also see Ontario, Manitoba, and Queensland, Australia locations.
