Unfortunately very few of the licences survive, and the information on them is rather hit and miss. Mostly there is nothing more than what you already have on the register. The two place I would check are the Region of Peel Archives, who have some licenses, and the Ontario Archives.

Just tossing in a suggestion.... How about the finding the religious denomination and going to the church archives? I found my gr-gr-gr-grandparents marriage licence copy in 31May1839... the only additional information was the father-inlaw details (not much, but still helpful!) And I have a copy of the document now. My notes: This information was found at the Ontario Archives, in a book called 'The Marriage Registers-Home district 1835-1843' Home district being early Toronto. They were married by a Presbyterian Minister named Rev'd James Harris, in Toronto Ontario. Per their wedding document (found at the Presbyterian Archives): Joseph Stoneham of the City of Toronto, in the Home District of the said Province, Bachelor, and Margaret Feltis, of the same place, Spinster, Daugther of the late Henry FELTIS, of the County of Wexford, Ireland, Sawyer, deceased. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Elaine Robinson" <elainer@stn.net> To: <can-ont-peel@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, November 22, 2006 8:07 AM Subject: Re: [CAN-ONT-PEEL] 1836 Marriage Licence > Unfortunately very few of the licences survive, and the information on > them is rather hit and miss.
