Hi all! I'm in the midst of that frustrating genealogical experience known as "searching for your female ancestors." I'm hot on the trail of my 3rd great grandmother...and I'm hoping some of you can help! Her name was Margaret, and she was born abt. 1831. I'd like to know about her family...parents, sibs, and would like to make connections with living Bowers of her line, if possible. Here's what I have... In the Marriage Reg. of Upper Canada Marriages by Rev'd Wyatt Chamberlain Wesleyan Methodist[for1854??, filed with the clerk of the Peace, January 3rd 1855] Edgar Hawkins 21, to Margaret Bower 22. By Licence. She and Edgar had a daugher, Phoebe, in 1853. She was born in the area of what is now Ahens, Ontario. Does this ring any bells for anyone?

Hi Bonnie, How far back doe this "Marriage Reg. of Upper Canada" extend? And, when can it be found? I have a major brich -- that's German for brick :-) -- wall which has potential traces into upper Canada and back during the late 1700s.
