Additions to Online Ontario Marriage Records
Article Published 11 October, 2007

An example of fashionable
bridal wear in 1924
|
For those of you good folk using the Ontario [Canada] birth records online from
Ancestry
 please note an important change you will see when you view the
actual images. I fully expect many brick walls will be broken down! My
comments are nothing new for those of us who have had the ability to use the
microfilms for the last few months.
Beginning in 1908 new questions were asked on birth registrations which have
major genealogical implications.
- Are the parents married?
- Where were the parents married?
- When were the parents married?
- If she (the mother) has been married more than once, give names of former
husband or husbands;
- Is she (the mother) single or a widow?
- If a widow, state name, occupation & date of husband's death.
Mind you some of the answers given, if the response was indeed filled in at
all, may surprise you. Indeed some answers seem to be fabricated due to
situations.
For example, on a 1908 birth registration, the marriage of the
parents is recorded to have taken place in 1901 in x location. This was
still many years after the couple had been having children (since the
1890's). There is no civil marriage registration recorded for any year for
this couple, and I can not find it in the local church records (which are
seemingly complete). There is no newspaper announcement in any of the local
papers. (Current conclusion: Living together - even though all other records
show them to be husband and wife: census, land registry documents, will,
tombstone).
Just though I should pass these details along for your benefit and use.
Cheers!
