Background:

Legislation was passed in 1857 to that required registration of all marriages performed  by all clergymen in the Province of Canada West (Ontario) resulting in the "County Marriage Registers". They were to begin on January 1, 1858 and finish on July 1, 1869. Some counties started early, including marriages performed before 1858, and some include marriages performed in the later months of 1869.

The first 37 volumes were compiled by Elizabeth Handcocks & William Britnell, and published by Generation Press between 1979 and 2000. This Second Edition of the County Marriage Registers of Ontario 1858-1869 was published by Global Heritage Press in 2005. The 38th volume was compiled by Donald A. McKenzie and was published by Global Heritage Press in 2008.
