FamilySearch's index to the Ontario civil marriage registrations. Ontario civil registration of marriages begins in 1869, so this collection cannot reach a marriage earlier than that. Distinct from the Ancestry products already in this tree (sources 1156 and 1220), which index the same underlying registers.

Full marriage registration image viewed (existing source 1568, previously cited elsewhere in this tree). Upgrades/supersedes the vague GEDCOM-import citation (source 1156, citation ids 3206/3207/34593, raw text "Record for Alfred F Richardson" with no page or locator) already on this couple — that thin citation is left in place but a moderator may wish to remove it once this is approved. Confirms both spouses' parents exactly as already recorded in the tree.
Field values quoted in the record page's own order: name, sex, age, estimated birth year, event type, event date, event place, event place (original), source details, then the indexed parents and spouse. Supports the existing 21 AUG 1879 marriage date. FamilySearch film 1863654.
Fields (page order): Name John Ferguson | Sex Male | Age 28 years | Birth Year (Estimated) 1844 | Event Type Marriage | Event Date 26 March 1872 | Event Place North Gower, Carleton, Ontario, Canada | Parents: Jane Richardson (Mother), Stephen Ferguson (Father) | Wife: Rebecca Scobie, Female, Age 22 years, Birth Year (Estimated) 1850, same event | Father-in-law Samuel Scobie | Mother-in-law Ellen Millar
FamilySearch index record, read in Chrome by the orchestrator 2026-09-17. Upgrades the marriage evidence (previously two legacy Ancestry GEDCOM free-text citations) with a directly quoted primary index entry, and independently corroborates John's parents (Stephen Bromley Jarvis Ferguson #3059 & Jane Richardson #6451) and Rebecca's parents (Samuel Scobie #6843 & Helen Miller #5456), all already recorded in the tree.
Field values quoted in the record page's own order: name, sex, age, estimated birth year, event type, event date, event place, event place (original), then the indexed parents and spouse. Supports the existing 20 DEC 1870 marriage date. The tree's place for this marriage is the county-level row #702 'Carleton, Ontario, Canada'; the record says Ottawa, which is inside Carleton County, so the two are compatible and the place is unchanged.
"Entry for Wm Hugh Stinson and Wm Stinson." Jennie Ferguson, Female, 31 years, Marriage, Carleton, Ontario, Canada, Source Details 005573; parents John Ferguson & Rebecca Scobie; groom Wm Hugh Stinson, M, 35 years; his parents Wm Stinson, Jane Powell. (no date indexed)
FamilySearch index record, read in Chrome by the orchestrator 2026-09-17; no marriage date indexed on this row (the tree's 7 MAR 1906 rests on other GEDCOM sources and is unaffected). Confirms Jane Ferguson #3024 (recorded aka 'Jennie'; parents John Ferguson #3028 & Rebecca Scobie #6836, matching the tree) and names her groom Wm Hugh Stinson's parents, matching the tree's William S Stinson #7454 and Anna Jane Powell #6323 (indexed as 'Jane Powell') — no new persons needed, citation only.
Field values quoted in the record page's own order: name, sex, age, estimated birth year, event type, event date, event place, event place (original), source details, then the indexed parents and spouse. Date, place and implied birth year all agree with what the tree already holds.

Alfred Richardson, male, age 22 years (birth year estimated 1885); and Gertrude Clemens, female, age 23 years (birth year estimated 1884); Event Type Marriage; Event Date 1 January 1907; Event Place Lambton Mills, York, York, Ontario, Canada; Event Place (Original) Wilsoncroft, Lambton, Ontario, Canada. Groom's parents: John Richardson and Jane Early. Bride's parents (father-in-law/mother-in-law): Emery Clemens and Catherine German.
FamilySearch index of an Ontario civil marriage register (register image viewed; handwriting not independently legible at available resolution, so the indexed fields are relied on rather than a personal transcription). The place is indexed inconsistently — 'Lambton Mills, York, York, Ontario' does not match the original 'Wilsoncroft, Lambton, Ontario' — and Wilsoncroft is a locality in Lambton County near Bosanquet Township, where the bride's family is already documented (Find A Grave), so this citation is attached to the existing Bosanquet place record rather than the mismatched standardised one. The groom's mother's name, Jane Early, explains 'Early' as Alfred's own middle name. The bride's parents' names match, in shortened form, the fuller names and dates 'Nathon Emery Clemens (1859-1913)' and 'Catherine Ann German Clemens (1861-1937)' already cited to Minnie's Find A Grave memorial.
Nathan E Clement | Sex: Male | Age: 22 | Birth Year (Estimated): 1859 | Event: Marriage | Event Date: 21 September 1881 | Event Place: Ravenswood, Lambton, Ontario, Canada | Source Details: 005551 | Parents: Abraham Clement (father) / Mary Clement (mother) | Spouse: Catharine A German | Age: 20 | Birth Year (Estimated): 1861 | Her parents: George German (father) / Lany German (mother)
FamilySearch index row, fields as displayed, read in the owner's signed-in Chrome session on 2026-09-17/18. A different record from the one already cited on this family (ark KSZZ-TVZ, the 1907 in-law listing) - this is the couple's own marriage entry.
"John Martin" | Male | 25 years | est. birth 1847 | Marriage 11 July 1872 | North Gower, Carleton, Ontario, Canada | Father Joseph Martin | Mother Janet Davidson | Wife Jane Pollock, F, 25 years | Father-in-law George Pollock | Mother-in-law Susannah Lindsay
Names the groom's parents as Joseph Martin and Janet Davidson, placing John in family 1069.
Evidence for Euphemia's parentage. The estimated birth year of 1847 implied by the stated age conflicts with the tree's 17 AUG 1845 by two years; recorded here, not resolved, and nothing was overwritten.
Evidence for George's parentage and birth year. The registration names both parents, which is what distinguishes this George Ferguson from the many others in Carleton County. Beware the namesake #3060, who carries the identical full name of #3059 and is his grandson; he was born 1881 and cannot appear here.
Independent evidence for Jane Richardson's maiden surname, which the tree otherwise holds only from the GEDCOM import. She had died in 1851, twenty years before this marriage, so the entry is the register recording the bride's parentage, not evidence that Jane was living.
