Hi folks, I am wondering if someone on either list has easy access to the Ontario marriage records for 1884/1885. I am looking for the marriage records of the above couple, and out here in BC it takes forever to get films. I have found this couple in the 1901 census with their 4 children, the oldest one born in January of 1886, so I suspect the marriage in either late 1884 or early 1885. The census also gives me their birth dates, James in 1866 and Flora in 1864. I have no info on James Franklin prior to his marriage except that family legend says he was an orphan from somewhere "up north", so any info on this man from an earlier date would be helpful, especially birthplace and any info on parents. There is only one James Franklin near the right age in the 1881 census but he is near Hamilton so I don't think that's the one I'm looking for. I don't even know where the marriage took place, although it would likely have been in either of the locations below, depending on which Flora Campbell was the bride. Flora Campbell was the daughter of either Donald & Betsy Campbell of Collingwood twp, Grey cty. or Duncan & Flora Campbell of Nottawasaga twp, Simcoe cty. I'm not sure which one she is as there is a Flora in each household, one 16 years old and the other 17 in the 1881 census, so either is a possibility. Once I have the marriage info I will finally know for sure. If SKS could check this out for me I would really appreciate it. Janice Franklin in BC
