Excerpt from The STORY of RENFREW by Smallfield & Campbell, 1919, page 29

"Elisabeth (Lizzie) AIRTH and Angus McINNES were married March 22, 1833 by a Captain Bell at the British Army post at Castleford, as there was no church in Renfrew.

Mr Alex STEWART (bachelor Sandy) was groomsman and Jessie FORREST (afterwards Mrs Lawrence NAISMITH) was bridesmaid.

They all drove back from Castleford in 2 rigs, or "trainneaus" and their home-coming was celebrated by the firing off of powder and the giving of a dance.

Theirs was the 1st marriage in which both the parties were of the younger generation of Renfrewites."
__________

Angus and Lizzie were the parents of 9 children.

According to descendants, Elisabeth was popular as a midwife, with a number of babies in the Goshen area being named after her.
