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 8, Part 2: JOHNSTOWN DISTRICT MARRIAGE REGISTER 1847-1863 by Dan Walker & Fawne Stratford-Devai Published by Global Heritage Press With the creation of the Johnstown District in January 1800 marriage returns for the counties of Grenville and Leeds had to be returned to the Clerk of the Peace in the District town of Brockville. Carleton County was also part of Johnstown District but only until 1821 when it became part of the Bathurst District. This work includes a complete transcription of the original Johnstown District Marriage Register and the original marriage returns sent by Ministers to the Clerk of the Peace. The Register begins in 1801 with a few affidavits dating back to 1799. For some reason, not all marriage returns from Ministers were included in the Marriage Register kept by the Clerk of the Peace in Brockville. The Register begins in 1801 with a few affidavits dating back to 1799. In May of 1849 the Johnstown District was abolished and the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville succeeded the District. The Clerk continued to record marriages in the Register beyond 1849 and the original marriage returns from clergy exist well beyond the period covered by the Register. The original marriage returns transcribed in part 2 start as early as 1847 and in some instances date as late as 1863 - None of the returns in part 2 were ever recorded in the Clerks Marriage Register!! If you cannot find the marriage you are looking for in the Johnstown District Marriage Register make sure you check the surrounding Districts (Eastern, Ottawa, Dalhousie, Bathurst and Midland Districts). Townships included in the Johnstown District (townships with an * would become part of the Bathurst District): Bastard, *Bathurst, *Beckwith, *Burgess North, Burgess South, Crosby North, Crosby South, *Dalhousie, *Darling, *Drummond, Edwardsburgh, Elizabethtown, *Elmsley North, Elmsley South, *Fitzroy, *Goulbourn, North Gower (became part of the Dalhousie District), South Gower, Kitley, *Lanark, Landsdown, Leeds, *March, Marlborough (became part of the Dalhousie District), *Montague, *Nepean, Oxford (on the Rideau River), *Ramsay, *Sherbrooke North, *Sherbrooke South, Wolford and Yonge.
