Go Directly to Microfilm Listings

The table below lists marriage returns and certificates, death returns and certificates, a single burial permit and correspondence concerning marriage registrations received by the Registrar General. Most of the records in this series are marriage returns (1858-1869) of various clergymen and ministers from Dundas County. Despite the number of returns there are very few registrations recorded in this series. Therefore, there is only a very slim chance of locating any particular registration that may be required.

The majority of these files, which were probably sent to the central office of the Registrar General by local Division Registrars, form a portion of a large container of files remaining with the Registrar General, which will gradually be transferred to the custody of the Archives of Ontario. One file consists of documents received from the United Church of Canada Archives.

To view the microfilm you may:

• Consult the appropriate reel at our reading room on the ground floor, 134 Ian Macdonald Blvd., Toronto.

• Borrow the reel through the Interlibrary Loan Department of your public library. Quote MS 947 and the appropriate reel #. These reels cannot leave the borrowing library, so make sure to request them from a library that has a microfilm reader.

When you receive the reel, find the correct year on the microfilm and look up the registration number within it.
