This ID is not
100% certain because neither Maria Theresa's parents' names
nor her age were on her marriage record at St Joseph parish.
She is presumed to have been the passenger by the same name
traveling to America on the same ship, the Rebecca,
as her future husband. Based on the age and place of origin
of that passenger, Freren parish records were checked and
a corresponding birth/baptism entry found there for Maria
Theresa.
