A very pretty wedding took place on Wednesday afternoon, June 29 th at the residence of Mr James Davidson, Zion Line, Westmeath when his el dest daughter, Miss Frances, was united in marriage to Mr Malcolm MacLar en of Ross. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. R. McNabb, of Beachbu rg in the presence of a large number of immediate relatives and neighbo rs of both parties. The bride was assisted by Miss Eliza MacLaren, whi le the groom was supported by Mr John Davidson. The bride was charming ly attired in white cashmere with chiffon and allusion trimmings while t he bridesmaid was becomingly dressed in cream brocaded luster with chiff on trimmings. After the ceremony was performed all set down to an elabora te wedding feast after which the happy couple accompanied by the young fol ks drove to Mr.& Mrs MacLaren's future home in Ross, where a very enjoyab le evening was spent. The bride was the recipient of a large number of be autiful, costly and useful presents showing the esteem in which the you ng lady is held. We heartily join in wishing the couple a long,happy a nd prosperous life together.
Malcolm appears to have officially changed his surname from McLaren to Mac Laren at some point. All of this descendents use that spelling.
