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.
