I have personally found documents in the films that are not transcribed at ancestry.com One example (not applicable in your case) is that the films at the LDS cover up to 1909 for births, 1924 for marriages and 1934 for deaths while ancestry.com does not have the last 2 years of information yet. Look at the Archives of Ontario site http://www.archives.gov.on.ca/english/interloan/vsmain.htm to see what they have on film. Maybe the information that you are looking for is available if you look in the misc. films. Yes, baptismal records may be a good place to look. You need to determine which religion they practised and then go to the records of that church. The Anglican Church records for Frontenac Co. are available at the Archives of the Anglican Diocese of Ontario in Kingston http://www.ontario.anglican.ca/archives/ while the Methodist, Congregationalist and some of the Presbyterian are found at the United Church Archives in Toronto http://www.united-church.ca/archives/central/ For the Presbyterian Churches that did not join in to the United Church of Canada, you can look at their archives at http://www.presbyterian.ca/archives/ Roman Catholic records (to 1910)are available through the LDS See http://www.romancatholic.kingston.on.ca/genealogical research.htm Good luck.
