I missed your original post Elaine. I assume you have been through the region Census' 1842 - 1911. I too will be visiting the Anglican Archives soon (ya wanna meet me there? :P) as I have had absolutely NO LUCK in finding any marriage records of my GGrandparents George Lang and Mary Jane Purdy. I have them on the Carleton County census for 1891, 1901 and 1911 and a record of his death in 1911 but that is all. They had six children in 1891... Where did they come from?!?!? Records in dicate they were both born in Ontario and obviously married here too. Hopefully the Anglican Archives will have some answers.
