BOOK - GORE DISTRICT VITAL RECORDS Vol 2, Part 1: 1818 - 1857
Compiled by Dan Walker & Fawne Stratford-Devai
Published by Global Heritage Press
Vital Records of Upper Canada/Canada West is designed as a critical companion series to the District Marriage Registers of Upper Canada/Canada West.
Clergy of the Anglican and Roman Catholic faiths were not required to submit marriage records to the District clerks for inclusion in the District Marriage Registers. This series will attempt to include both Anglican and Roman Catholic vital records as well as many other denominations and records not included in the District Marriage Registers.
In March of 1816 the Gore District was created out of parts of the West Riding of the County of York in the Home District, the first riding of the County of Lincoln and the County of Haldimand in the Niagara District. The Gore District included the present counties of Halton, Wentworth, Brant, Waterloo & Wellington, parts of Haldimand and Lincoln counties. In June of 1840, the counties of Waterloo and Wellington were separated out of the Gore District to form the Wellington District.
This volume of the Vital Records series attempts to combine a variety of parish records and other vital documents to not only replace but to go beyond what should have existed for the Gore District had the early marriage register survived. We hope this new series will provide researchers with the tools to learn about the individuals and families of the Gore District through the birth, baptism, marriage, death, burial and other vital records that survive today.
Records included in this volume include:
- Dumphries Street Presbyterian Church, Paris - Baptisms 1821-1857
- Knox Presbyterian Church Hamilton - Baptisms, Marriages and Burials 1833-1857
- First Presbyterian Church Esquesing (now Boston Presbyterian) Baptismal Register and Communion Roll 1822-1857
- First Congretational Church Hamilton (now Pilgrim United Church) Baptisms, Marriages, Burials and Membership Rolls 1835-1858
- Nelson Methodist Cicuit (from the records of St. John's United Church, Oakville)Baptisms 1832-1843
- St. John's Anglican Church, Ancaster Baptisms, Marriages, Burials and Pew Rents 1818-1857
- Farringdon Independant Inghamite Church, Brantford Township (Brantford) 1833-1858
As of January 1850 all Districts were abolished and the Gore District became became the independent Counties of Wentworth, Halton, Haldimand and Brant and remain to this day.
