In trying to complete links of my family back to their Scottish roots, I recently found the following marriage registration. >From microfilm MS248, Reel 1, Home District, "Marriage Registers of Canada West", page 231: Register of Marriages in communion with Knox's Church, Toronto, CW: "Andw McLaren & Helen Cameron / Bachelor & Spinster / both residing Towns. of Caledon / date of M: Jany 1 1851 / by License / Witnesses Alexr McLaren & James McLellan" Brothers Andrew and Alexander were born in Ontario. Their father was born in Perthshire, Scotland and their mother was born in Islay, Scotland. Helen was born in an unknown location in Scotland. Can anyone with knowledge of Ontario churches in mid 1800s can shed some light on this record? Specifically Since the bride, groom, at least one witness, and the parents of the groom were all residents of the Township of Caledon (at least 50 miles from Toronto), why would the wedding have been conducted in Toronto? Or does this entry signify only that there was some connection with Knox's? There was a church in the area (the famous "white church" was on the property adjacent to the properties owned by the two brothers and all the persons listed in this registration are buried there), but did Knox's have some sway over the Caledon area? What denomination was Knox's? (the McLarens are usually recorded as being Baptist) Any thoughts or advice welcome ..... Unless specifically stated otherwise in this message, there is no intentional attachment on this e-mail transmission. Ken Harrison North Vancouver, Canada
