I have been informed of a marriage in St James Cathedral Toronto 6/3/1841 between James Millyard, born 1819 Walberton WS and a Rebecca Jane Wiley, I`m also advised that they had 2 children by 1851, if anyone has access to the relevant censii I would appreciate any information you can give me. My thanks to Robert Slater of South Australia for this lead. Regards Joe Austen 9934 in OZ. PS the IGI just crashed
Joe, You may wish to start with this site - http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/genealogy/022-911-e.html - it will take you to the Canadian Genealogical Centre of Library and Archives Canada - the latter being a federal/national institution. (Each province also has its own archives.) Canada was not created until 1867 so, before that, various sections of the country/provinces did their own censuses. See 'What Census are Available' in the lefthand menu. To my knowledge, the Canadian censuses are still not digitized so are not searchable by name - you have to know roughly where they lived to do a search. An organization called Automated Genealogy has a project underway to digitize the censuses - check their progress at http://automatedgenealogy.com/ You also wish to contact the Ontario Archives at http://www.archives.gov.on.ca/ It may not be easy - good luck!
