The website lists it as: "WNY MARRIAGE ABSTRACTS Mosscrop, Joseph & Jemima Gibson June 1, 1851** **abstracts from Lockport, Niagara Co., NY http://www.angelfire.com/ny/WNYSampson/marriages.html" So it could well be abstracted from news papers or church records. >From 1871 cthrough 1901 they belong to the Church of England according to Canadian census information so Church of England Marriage records would be likely source. If anyone else knows more please let me know. I am much more familiar with Ontario records. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
