It is important to note that you are researching registrations as
opposed to certificates. Certificates are documents produced by the Office
of the Registrar General on demand for people who need them for various purposes.
Registrations are the original data recorded, from which certificates were produced.
You do not need a certificate for family history purposes.If you need records
for legal purposes, you can have certified
copies made.
The Archives of Ontario holds marriage registrations in three different
formats. Between 1869 and 1896, registrations were recorded in a full-column
format (three registrations to a page). From 1897 to 1910, marriages were recorded
in a "cross-line" format. These registrations should be read from left to
right across two pages.
From 1911, marriages were recorded using a double-sided
licence format. Click on the thumnails below for examples of each format.
