Repositories
Civil registration of births, marriages and deaths did not begin in Ontario until 1869. The records in this collection were gathered together from all clergymen and others who performed marriages in the province during the period from 1856. There is no proof that this is the complete collection of all marriages that took place during this time. Communication within the province, then known as Canada West, was limited and haphazard. Many official documents may not have reached their destination.
