How do I obtain Canadian Marriage Certificates.
« on: Sunday 22 May 16 06:14 BST (UK) »
Can anyone advise how I can obtain marriage cerificates for Canadian ancestors.
I'm trying to obtain marriage certificates for
Edward McArdle &Alice Amy Hayden married  3 June 1908 St Stephens Anglican Lachine Quebec(source Drouin  Collection)
and
William Harrison McArdle &Elizabeth Frances Figsby married  6 June 1899 St Stephens Anglican Lachine Quebec(source Drouin Collection).
I have reasons to believe  Edward and William McArdle  were brothers and am trying to build evidence to support this.I was hoping marriage certificates would include details of parentage.
I have looked at www.etatcivil@gouv.qc.ca,however it seems to be able to order a certificate you have to a go through very rigorous proof of identity process of which I cant meet the requirements. ?Am I looking in the right place?Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Try writing to the Quebec Family History Society.  Below is the link to their website.

http://www.qfhs.ca/

I seem to remember getting a record of some sort that was to do with a marriage in the family I was researching.  As recall I had to pay a small fee and I did this through this society.

Hopefully they will be able to help you.

I'm not sure if you have seen the actual images in the Drouin Collection?

Civil registration only began in 1994 (yes) in Quebec. What is available prior to this is a parish record, which is what you get from the Drouin Collection. Someone may correct me but it is my understanding that the Quebec Government will send you a copy of what is in said parish record. Images of these parish records are available through Ancestry if you have a Canadian or Worldwide sub. If your local public library subscribes to Ancestry Library Edition you should be able to access the images that way.

Wasn't quite clear in the original post if you had or did not have them.
