Hi Karen; Although there are quite a few DEAN marriages in the Durham County Marriage Index 1858-1869, there is no William DEAN. It would appear that the marriage took place in another county or after 1869. You will note that these registers only go up to 1869 when registration began in Ontario. You can search the Ontario Marriage Index at any Family History Centre. You should be able to find what you require there. > Kind regards Kathy Witheridge Sarnia, Ontario, Canada
