HOME DISTRICT MARRIAGE REGISTER, Vol 11, Part 1: 1808 - 1836
by Dan Walker, Ruth Burkholder & Fawne Stratford-Devai
Published by Global Heritage Press
In October of 1792 the old District of Nassau (1788-1792) was renamed the Home District and included the present counties of York, Ontario, Peel, Simcoe, Wentworth, Halton and Brant. In March 1816, the Counties of Halton, Wentworth and Brant were separated out of Home District to become the Gore District. In January of 1843 the County of Simcoe became the Simcoe District.
Effective 1831 marriage returns for the Home District were required to be returned to the Clerk of the Peace in the District town of York. Returns were sent to the Clerk from clergy who performed marriages, with the exception of Anglican and Roman Catholic ministers. As of January 1850 all Districts were abolished and the Home District became the United Counties of York-Ontario.
Part 1 (This Publication)- of the Home District Marriage Register includes a complete transcription of the first 3 volumes and part of the 4th volume of marriages held by the Archives of Ontario. The Home District Marriage Register is composed of 6 separate volumes of marriages. The registers have been transcribed here in the order in which they were created by the Clerk of the Peace.
Part 2 - of this transcription of The Home District Marriage Register includes the remaining pages of volume 4 not printed in part 1 and part of the 5th volume of marriages held by the Archives of Ontario.
Part 3 includes a complete transcription of the remaining pages of volume 5 not printed in part 2 of the 6th volume of marriages held by the Archives of Ontario.
Please keep in mind that in most cases the returns were submitted by ministers who were circuit riders. If you cannot find the marriage in the Home District register you would be well advised to search bordering districts such as the Newcastle District, Gore District, Simcoe District, Wellington District, and Colborne District.
An example of some of the towns and townships where marriages occurred and were reported in the Home District Register include: Vaughan, Windham, Markham, Toronto, Georginia, Caledon, North Gwillimbury, Chinguacousy, Thorah, Brock, Whitby, Town of York, Esquesing, Scarborough, Penetanguishine, York Township, Streetsville, Etobicoke, Trafalgar, Albion, Adjala, Mono, Millford Mills, City of Hamilton, Gore of Toronto, Nelson, Pickering, Reach, Cobourg, Whitchurch, Uxbridge, East Gwillimbury, Eldon, Clark, Murray, Erin, Amarranth, Mariposa, Tay, Orillia, Tecumseth, Medonte, Oro, King, Darlington, and a number of other areas.
