Map of Ontario Districts 1836 | Map of Ontario Districts 1845 More Ontario Resources | More Canadian Resources BOOK - VOLUME 5: BATHURST DISTRICT MARRIAGE REGISTER, 1831-1852 by Dan Walker & Fawne Stratford-Devai Published by Global Heritage Press In November of 1822 the Bathurst District was proclaimed and marriage returns for Lanark, Renfrew and Carleton Counties had to be returned to the Clerk of the Peace in the District Town of Perth. Any marriages showing a residence of the parties as Unsurveyed Lands would eventually become the townships of Admaston, Bagot, Bromley, Blythfield and Stafford. In 1838 Carleton County was removed from the Bathurst District and given the name of the Dalhousie District. However, the clerk of the Dalhousie District did not begin a separate register until 1842. Consequently, marriages returns for Carleton County from 1842 are not included in the Bathurst District Marriage Register. To date the Dalhousie District marriage register has not been found and is believed to have perished in the Court House fire of 1870. For marriages in the Bathurst District before 1821 refer to Volume 8 part 1,Johnstown District Marriage Register 1799 - 1851 . The Bathurst District was abolished in May of 1849 but the Clerk continued to record marriages in the register until 1852. If you cannot find the marriage you are looking for in the Bathurst District Marriage Register make sure you check the surrounding Districts (Dalhousie, Eastern, Johnstown and Midland). Townships included in the Bathurst District: Admaston, Bagot, Bathurst, Beckwith, Blithefield, Bromley, Dalhousie, Darling, Drummond, Fitzroy, Goulbourn, Horton, Huntley, Lanark, Lavant, MacNab, March, Nepean, Pakenham, Pembroke, Ramsay, Ross, Sherbrooke North, Sherbrooke South, Stafford, Torbolton and Westmeath.
