Note that the Gert Crosbie CD gives the date of the Reference (not the date of the event) as "07/01/1835". It is not clear whether this source uses American or British dating. But either way, there could not be a reference to the marriage on either January 7, 1835 or July 1, 1835 since the marriage date as found in the Vital Statistics was held on July 9, 1835. I suspect therefore that the announcements Gert read were prior to the day of the marriage, by way of an invitation to the wedding perhaps.
Notes
General:
261221:
More research is required on this person. My only evidence of his existence so far is from Stabb in the Dark by Graham Skanes.
090122:
Actually a reading of his will makes it abundantly clear that this Jonas Stabb was the grandfather of William Jonas Barter Stabb after whom the latter was in part named.

Bartlett was captain and part owner of the sealing vessel S.S. Panther. He was engaged in the seal hunt as the skipper of this vessel for seventeen years. During those years, from 1867 to 1883, Bartlett proved to be a succcessful sealer, catching a total of 143,473 seals for an average of 8,439 a year. For much of his life he also sailed the Panther each spring to Tumavik qv, one of the largest fishing stations in Labrador, where he operated an extensive fishing business under the name of A. Bartlett and Sons. In Brigus, in order to provide access to adequate mooring facilities for the Panther, he had miners from Cornwall, England drill a spacious tunnel through a rock cliff. When completed, it measured 30 m (100 ft) in length, 3 m (10 ft) in width and 3 m (10 ft) in height and was used until about 1910. Bartlett died at the age of seventy on October 1, 1889. R.W.
