Books, Maps & Other Resources  Ontario, Canada  (Upper Canada, Canada West) Concerns more than one County Main District Marriage/Vital Records Page What Are The District Marriage/Vital Records & Why Are They Important? Map of Ontario Districts 1836 | Map of Ontario Districts 1845 More Ontario Resources | More Canadian Resources BOOK - VOLUME 6: OTTAWA DISTRICT MARRIAGE REGISTER, 1816-1853 by Dan Walker & Fawne Stratford-Devai In March of 1816 the Ottawa District was created by removing the counties of Prescott and Russell from the Eastern District. Beginning in 1816 marriage returns for the counties of Prescott and Russell and a few townships in Carleton County were to be returned to the Clerk of the Peace in the District town of L’Original. The original Marriage Register contains eighty pages and covers the years 1816 - 1853. Unfortunately the marriage register for the period 1854-1857 has never been found. For marriages before 1816 refer to the Eastern District Marriage Register. In May of 1849 the Ottawa District was abolished and the United Counties of Prescott and Russell came into being. As you can see from the date of the register, the Clerk continued to record marriages after the 1849. There are also a number of marriages recorded in the Ottawa District Marriage Register for marriages where one or both of the parties were from neighbouring towns in Quebec )for example, Argenteuil, Hull township and “Chathan” to name but a few). If you cannot find the marriage you are looking for in the Ottawa District Marriage Register make sure you check the surrounding Districts (Dalhousie, Eastern and Johnstown). Townships included in the Ottawa District: Alfred, Caledonia, Cambridge, Clarence, Cumberland, Gloucester, Hawkesbury East, Hawkesbury West, Longueuil, Osgoode, Plantagenet North, Plantagent South, and Russell.
Contains 46 pages with maps and full name index, originally pub. 1995
