  Married	13 May 1814	Trinity, Trinity Bay, Newfoundland   [5]
  St. Paul's CE Parish. In this era there was no Roman Catholic parish established in the Trinity/Bonavista Bay area. A priest from St. John's traveled out annually and performed baptisms and marriages in the outlying settlements. It appears that John and Bridget grew impatient so they decided to get married by the Anglican minister at Trinity. The groom and bride's names were recorded there as John Archibald and Bridget Brunnick. In September of that year, when the Roman Catholic priest finally arrived, their marriage was also solemnized within that religion.
  Married	23 Sep 1814	Rider's Harbour, Trinity Bay, Newfoundland   [6]
  The church records relating to the Aspells of Rider's Harbour start with the marriage of John Aspell. This marriage is recorded in St. John's (Basilica) Parish under the heading "Marriages in the Northern District". Groom & bride's names recorded as John Asbell and Bridget Brinnik. It appears they were married at Rider's Harbour since the witnesses at the marriage were recorded as Andrew and Catherine Aspell, likely John's father and sister.

  Aspel, Patrick Not Stated Meaney, Elizabeth Ferryland - April 24, 1853: [Witnesses] Peter Walsh and Bridget Hunt. Patrick's surname spelled Aspel. Elizabeth recorded as being from Ferryland, but no address is given for Patrick. Patrick may have been living at St. John's at that time, since records indicate his brother, John, lived there.

  Holy Trinity RC Parish - Ferryland: MEANY Winifred 12-Mar 1871 [Parents] William Meany & Alice Power [Godparents] Patrick Walsh & Elizabeth Aspel. This is the last and only mention of Elizabeth Aspell in the Ferryland parish records. There are no records for any children of Patrick and Elizabeth Aspell in the Ferryland Baptisms 1870 - 1910.
