For after 1950 for marriages, searching online you can search for Quebec and some records of neighbouring provinces at BMS2000.org and on Ancestry
I believe the "S" in BMS stands for "sépulture" which means "burial".
I just looked up a marriage in Quebec on Ancestry from 1961.

Also there are newspaper databases. There are free ones if you have access. For example, if you have a Toronto library card you can access the historical Toronto Star database online. I access the historical Globe and Mail and look up marriage announcements through the Ottawa Library.

Although, you are asking about online sources after 1950, I have to add the following about other sources, because some people may read the above post and think that you cannot look up a lot of records in Canada.

As for not online there are other sources for more recent. There are not strict privacy laws in Canada for accessing non-government records, like it seems implied for all records, in the post above. For example I was in the public library yesterday and they had 100s of books of copies of church registers from multiple provinces. And for local churches, I was looking at entries in the 1980s for a local Ottawa (in Ontario)church, and there were more recent ones.
And I know that you can arrange with churches to view their records in person.
Also funeral home and cemetery records can be very accessible in person.

I searched the Globe and Mail online, but couldn't find an obit for Clara or Ian Mackinnon. There are articles and a picture of Ian M Mackinnon in Montreal, but he is also listed in the Canada's Voters list with a different wife than Clara.
There is an article from June 1942 about "Pilot Officer Ian Mackinnon of Fort Fraser in Northern British Columbia, is believed to be the first Canadian officer in the new Royal Air Force Regiment in England...."

Thank you very much kingskerswell, that's awesome ! Your information is very helpful!

I am afraid to ask. I don't want to impose, but were there Month and Day of the marriage information?

Thank you very much kingskerswell !

I tried to post this yesterday and it would not work. So this post is regarding things just before aghadowey posted a whole bunch of Lightbody info.


Thanks so much to aghadowey for posting that information - especially the Roll Of Honour list, I have never seen that and that Andrew Savage is my gr-grandfather - so it really does mean a lot to me to now have that picture of his name on the Roll Of Honour in that church. Thanks again!

In reference to that Roll Of Honour list,
from Proni when searching the Ulster Covenant

1912 Ulster Covenant

Savage   Andrew      Castle Square Bangor   Down: North   Bangor   Orange Hall   
Savage   David   16 Castle Square    Down: North   Bangor   Trinity Church
Savage   Mary   16 Castle Square    Down: North   Bangor   House To House   
Savage   Sarah   16 Castle Square    Down: North   Bangor   House To House   

Father David and Mother Mary and adult children Andrew and Sarah lived at 62 Castle Square on the 1911 Census. The son David we have referred to on this post was only 14 in 1912, so he would not have signed the petition.

And as aghadowey listed above, Andrew and David Savage of 16 Castle Square are on the Roll of Honour at Trinty Presbyterian Church.

And here are Gordon's that come up on a search of the
1912 Ulster Covenant
Gordon Agnes Jane30 Castle Square    Down: North   Bangor   House To House   
Gordon   Nellie   30 Castle Square Bangor   Down: North   Bangor   Guild Hall   
Gordon   Sam   30 Castle Square    Down: North   Bangor   House To House   
Gordon   Sarah   52 Castle Square    Down: North   Bangor   House To House

Agnes Jane, Nellie, & Sam lived at 64 in Castle Street on the 1911 Census
(with Ethel and Isa)
and Sarah Gordon was at 52 Castle Sq. on the 1911 Census.

Also note that 30 Castle Square is the address for David Savage moving to Canada and then returning to Bangor the same year.

If you havn't already, you can look that up on Proni and see the signatures of your ancestors.
