Originally published by William Briggs, Toronto, 1913
A new introduction and index by Lauren Coules, 2010

K.M. Lizars covers three centuries in The Valley of the Humber, from its founding until the author's current time period in the early twentieth century.

This new feature will help historians utilize the source in a more efficient manner. ISBN 978-1-926797-14-4 (hardcover)     More information

BOOKS - County Marriage Registers of Ontario 1858-1869, Second Edition - 38 volumes organized by County
By Elizabeth Hancocks C. G. & W. E. Britnell and Donald A. McKenzie
Published by Global Heritage Press, Milton/Carleton Place
Legislation passed in 1857 that required registration of all marriages performed by all clergymen in the Province of Canada West (Ontario). The marriages were recorded in County Marriage Registers. They were to begin on January 1, 1858 and finish on July 1, 1869. Some counties started early, including marriages performed before 1858, and some registers include marriages performed in the later months of 1869 even though formal provincial civil registration of birth, marriage and death began in the summer of 1869.

These books are more than just an indexes of the original registers. They contain transcriptions of names, dates and places and oftentimes, ages of bride and groom, and names of parents. If you are looking for a marriage recorded in Ontario between 1858-1869, this is first resource to check.

BOOKS - District Marriage Registers of Ontario 1786-1870 - 32 volumes organized by District, referencing contained counties
By Dan Walker, Fawne Stratford-Devai
Published by Global Heritage Press, Milton/Carleton Place, 1999-2013
Prior to counties becoming administrative entities in the 1850s, the province of Upper Canada (Ontario) was initially divided into four administrative Districts which subdivided as population grew to become twenty five Districts. Early efforts at civil registration were recorded by those Districts. In spite of Counties becoming administrative authorities in the 1849, a few District marriage registers continued to be updated as late as 1870.

During the early period of settlement all ministers who performed marriages with the exception of Anglican and Roman Catholic ministers, were required to submit returns to the Clerk of the Peace for the District where the minister resided. That said, plenty of Anglicans and Catholics were married by nonconformist ministers, usually as a result of their preferred church not having been established in their locale yet. The majority of returns begin in the 1830s with a few Districts recording marriages as early as 1786. The Clerk of the Peace then recorded the returns in a District register kept in the District office. Most of the original District Marriage Registers survive and have been reliably transcribed into this series of books. The section also include a few volumes of 'District Vital Records' which include transcriptions of vital records (BMDs) from other sources in the same time period.

BOOKS - Surrogate Court Indexes of Ontario, Canada, 1859-1900 (Wills), Second Edition - 27 volumes organized by County
Compiled by June Gibson, Indexed by Elizabeth Hancocks, C. G. & Shannon Hancocks
Published by Global Heritage Press, Milton/Carleton Place, 2005
Wills and the documents that contribute to the process of distributing the estate of a deceased individual can be a wonderful source of information about the deceased, their family and those who survived. Estate Files are of great interest because of the bounty of detailed information that they contain about the deceased, and about those who survive. The Surrogate Court used the documents in order to disperse the deceased's estate, whether he/she died with (testate) or without (intestate) a Will. These indexes are designed to assist researchers in finding estate and death information for those who died in Ontario from the mid to late 1800s

Originally published by P.A. Gross, Toronto, 1876
This reproducion published by National Archives of Canada (Library and Archives Canada), Ottawa, 2000

Shipped flat (not folded) in a sturdy mailing tube. Useful for researchers who are interested in Toronto as it was in 1876, or frame it for your wall. Dimensions of the document: 28' w X 22" h. Dimensions of birds-eye view printed on document: 25" w X 16 1/4" h. Ships in sturdy mailing tube. ISBN (none assigned)     More Information

Any distorion of historical facts has been carefully avoided". The old families mentioned were from the Townships of Stamford, Thorold, and Pelham.

Published by The Maholme Foundation, St. Catharines, 2010
We enjoy the many benefits of a free society in a free country; paid for in the blood of free men. For most part today it is taken for granted, their sacrifice -- generally and sadly remembered on one day in November of each passing year. For the 223 young men of St. Catharines who made the supreme sacrifice to keep us free and did not return, we shall forever be In Their Debt. This new book identifies those men, proves information about each, including historical sketches and details about the cemeteries where they rest, and the branches of service they served in.

BOOK - WWI Nursing Sisters of Old Durham County
By By Sherrell Leetooze
Published by Lynn Michael-John Associates, Bowmanville, 2014
The writing of WWl Nursing Sisters of Old Durham County was inspired by the centennial of the beginning of the First World War which began in August, 1914. No one wants to think about war, but it is inevitable if we are to keep the memory of those who served, and to honour their commitment to a peaceful future. So, author Sher Leetooze looked around for a suitable portion of the war experience to write about that touched the lives of the people of Old Durham County in central Ontario. Sher chose the women. It wasn't just nursing sisters who served during the conflict. Women at home also served by raising funds that went directly to soldiers overseas, perhaps not in their pockets, but these funds purchased a few comforts of home for them while they served in the tranches or recuperated in hospital. The women also knit good warm socks for the soldiers too, and baked them cookies and sent them cigarettes and chocolates. This book focuses on the stories of the thirty two nurses from Durham County who served thier country during the First World War.
