  Marriage	25 Dec 1886	Homestead, Allegheny Co., Pennsylvania
  	Marriage license obtained on Dec 20, 1886. The Rev James J. McLighe performed the marriage on the 25th. I believe that the Rev. James J. McIlyar, is the same as "McLighe" on Ernest & Bridget's marriage cert. He was pastor of the Fourth Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church in Homestead, Pennsylvania. Ernest lived in Homestead and Bridget lived on Carson St., Pittsburgh. They had never been married before and were not related by blood.
