The bride is described as "Citizen Anne Caroline Stéphanie Sims, aged 19, living in Paris, known in France by the name of Pamela, a native of Fago in Newfoundland and daughter of William Brixeij (sic) and Mary Sims." The bridegroom is said to be "Edward FitzGerald, aged 29, generally living in Dublin, Ireland, a native of Whitehall, London, and the son of James FitzGerald de Leinster and Dame Amélie Lennox de Leinster." The Duke of Orléans figures in the deed only as Citizen Louis Philippe Égalité.
