Marriage records 1930s

[sancti]

What information is contained on them and how do you order a copy?

[polarbear]

Birth, marriage and death records are the responsibilty of each individual province and also subject to privacy laws. There is no central index. The info contained on them varies by province. Each province has a vital statistics website that can be used to order a cert. Price varies by province also.

Depending on the province some records are actually on line through ancestry or familysearch, subject to the aforesaid privacy laws. Some provinces, eg. New Brunswick, have their own vital stats website images available for free.

This link will give you an idea of what would be available to get from the province of Manitoba….

Added: it is my understanding that a marriage index is not yet available for the province of Saskatchewan. So your success is really going to depend on the province you are looking at.

Do you know if Manitoba marriage records contain the names of their parents?

[polarbear]

There is a provision to have parents names in the 1930s  but there is no guarantee they would be there. The only way to know would be to order the certificate.

Did you know the 1931 census is available? Ancestry has it but it is also available for free from Library and Archives Canada….not sure about familysearch. My thought is you might find your parties there with family?

Added: if you put one of your names into the search, when it comes up you will see a box that says details. If you click on this it will show you details you might get. There is also a box for adding to cart to order a cert.

Thanks

I found the marriage but the online version only mentions the bride and groom. I was hoping that it only contained minimal details online but the actual record would contain parents names

I recently ordered and received a copy of a marriage certificate for Manitoba in 1906 and it gave the parents of both bride and groom.  Whether it would still be in the 1930s I do not know.

Hi again,
As BrazilianBombshell mentioned, they received a record with parents names. The index has minimal info as you have seen and if you ordered your record it would hopefully have parents as well. Chances are excellent they would be but can’t guarantee it.
