  	Their marriage record identifies their parents as J. & Catherine CORKUM and William & Sophia MOSHER. However, William Corkum's brother, Albert, marries Matilda's sister, Emma. Further, in the 1881 Census, William and Albert live side by side and two doors away from Benjamin and Louisa MOSHER, parents of Matilda and Emma MOSHER, all on Corkum's Island. So, I supect that the recording clerk mis-copied the marriage return slip. Their marriage record identifies their parents as J. & Catherine CORKUM and William & Sophia MOSHER.
