It should be noted that on the handwritten French original:

• Willing is recorded as "Weeling"
• and "Etienne M'ahi canadien" is exactly how it is written
• the officiating priest was either Father Haerolen or Father Haerden; these are the two best guesses
• And the "Lanitsh woman" may be a "Sanitsh woman"; Ls and Ss look quite similar.
