Ontario Marriage Info Howson/Baker
« on: Friday 24 September 10 22:06 BST (UK) »
Hi.  I'm looking for the marriage record of Harry Brooks Howson  born somewhere in England Feb 3 1859, and a Canadian girl by the name of Margaret Annabella Baker born 20 Jan 1865. 

I know that they were living in Toronto in 1901, but by the 1911 census Harry was dead.   Their first child was born in 1896: Francis Gilbert Howson.  He fought in the First World War.

Any information on either person would be greatly appreciated, but especially their marriage record.

Thanks, Clarissabell

Do you need any of the Canadian censuses? I have just found Harry and his mother in 1891.  Shout if you need them.
