Ontario Marriage Lookup (1938-1945)
« on: Thursday 14 March 24 04:00 GMT (UK) »
Hello,

I'm trying to find the marriage record for William Wright Edwards and Gwendoline Wanda McNab (Correction: Gwendoline Wanda Wilson) which happened somewhere between 1938 and 1946, and almost certainly (but not 100%) in Ontario. Ancestry doesn't seem to have it, but i know its there somewhere.

Are any of you expert Roots Chatters able to find it :-)

A tree on Ancestry shows Gwendoline Wanda McNab married George Inglis Wilson - he died 30.5.1938  but the tree shows an Edwards son b 1936??

Is it your tree? 

Gwendoline crossed from Canada to Detroit to join William & there is documentation on the tree

Thanks Carole, yes I have that info. There are a few trees that show that, but none show the 2nd marriage, which is what i'm looking for.

First husband George died 1938. Second husband William crossed the border in Nov 1945 and named Gwen as his wife. So i know they married between those dates.

I believe the son born 1936 is of first husband (who died 1938) and surname later changed on marrying 2nd husband.

Update: Ah I think the record IS on Ancestry!

Gwendoline Wanda Wilson.  Ontario, Canada, Marriages, 1826-1940

Apologies, I hadn't clicked the surname would be from her first marriage doh! No wonder no one has found it!

Would anyone with Canada access kindly be able to lookup the details for me please. Many TIA  :)

Oh wow, how on earth did you find that with such limited info!

Yes that's definitely the right person. Thankyou very much.

I've never subscribed to the Newspapers part of Ancestry, but i might have to take a look!
