Hi Lorine & all: Beware when accessing the Ontario marriage registrations on Ancestry. The ones I looked at today have the mothers of the brides & grooms OK now but the year of marriage is incorrect. I had one for 1907 which was indexed as 1917 and another for 1909 indexed as 1907. The year in each case is very clear on the original. Others that occurred in other years appear to be OK, at least, the ones that I've looked at so far. The two that I refer to: Ontario, Canada Marriages, 1801-1926 Name: Vera M Massey Age: 20 Estimated birth year: abt 1887 ----Incorrect year of marriage makes this estimate also incorrect Father Name: Chas J Massey Mother Name: Bertha Reddick Massey Spouse Name: Philip E Bonesteel Spouse's Age: 20 Spouse Father Name: Norval Bonesteel Spouse Mother Name: Arminta Harder Marriage Date: 8 Sep 1907 ------------------This one is very clearly 1909 on the original Marriage Location: Hastings Marriage County: Hastings Archives of Ontario Microfilm: MS932_141 And this one: Ontario, Canada Marriages, 1801-1926 about Oscar Frederick Laver Name: Oscar Frederick Laver Birth Place: Norham In Percy Township Age: 29 Estimated birth year: abt 1878 -----making this est birth year incorrect by 10 years Father Name: Fredrick John Laver Mother Name: Clara Ellen Evans Laver Spouse Name: Clara Gertrude Lane Spouse's Age: 26 Spouse Birth Place: Sidney Spouse Father Name: Sylvester E Lane Spouse Mother Name: Sarah Massey Lane Marriage Date: 4 Jul 1907 ------------Clearly 1917 on the original Marriage Location: Hastings Marriage County: Hastings Archives of Ontario Microfilm: MS932_419 Marg in Sunny Alberta
