St Matthew's Quebec City

While I have had great success researching the Bolivar line I seem to run into dead ends with the Nosworthy side.  Eventually I more or less gave up but Myrtle's grandson, Steve Cullen, stepped up and with a new set of eyes has been able to unearth lots of microfilmed documents that eluded me.  These baptismal records are from his research.  Five of the children were baptised the same day in 1916 at St. Matthew's Anglican Church in Quebec City.  They are on subsequent pages of the church records.  My transcriptions are below.

Cecil Le Roy, son of Alfred George Nosworthy of Quebec Architect and of Mary Falconer maiden name Bolivar, his wife, born on the Twenty-sixth day of April A.D. Nineteen hundred and nine and was baptized on the Thirteenth day of July A.D. Nineteen hundred and sixteen

In June of 2012 I visited Quebec City and happened to stay at a hotel just blocks from the old church.  It has been converted to a public library but they left it virtually intact.  They only removed the pews and replaced them with bookshelves.  Everything else remains as it was one hundred years ago.
