Earle/Farrell in Galt in 1851 marriage

[jody 101]

Is it possible to lookup a marriage in Canada which took place on the 11 Nov 1851 in Galt  Canada West.
The brides family were methodist and the groom was one starting with e (I think a form of c/e).
The bride was Persis Farrell and the groom was Arthur Earle if any information is available can someone please point me in the correct direction to find it.
I don't know when either of them arrived in Canada but do know they were there for the 1851 census. (Persis from Ireland...with her family, Arthur from Yorkshire alone)

Jody,

Civil marriages seem to have started in 1857 in Ontario, so you would need their church record.

Have you contacted the Cambridge Archives:

(In the early 1970s, Hespeler, Galt and Preston amalgamated and became the city of Cambridge.)

Have you checked this website for Ontario marriages (it's free)?  Cambridge is in Waterloo County, Ontario:

Good luck!

Hi Josephine,
 I have just email the Cambridge archives to see if they can be of assistance. Looking at the marriages link i have a horrid sinking feeling that my Farrells have left the district. Not one Farrell is listed as a Groom, Bride or Witness in any of those registers. The only evidence i have for their existance is from the 1851 census,then they(as a family) seem to vanish back to the black hole they came from. Ah well other people have brick walls i think mine are more like solid concrete.
Thank you again for the links
Jody

You're welcome, Jody!

I hope the archivist can help!

Maybe your Farrells went down south.  Have you looked for them in the U.S. census?

Regards,
Josephine

Just to update,
Still haven't heard from the Cambridge Archives people so may have to try different way.
The only one of my Earle's that (i know for sure) immigrated was Arthur. The others all seem to have stayed in England (apart from business trips to the continent)
