1881 says Samuel was born in USA, of English origin.

It says Abram was born in Ontario, and was Native American. Origin: Indian.

They are both Methodist, whereas the rest of the Bishtons are Church of England.

I don't see either of them anywhere else.

Thank you all for the invaluable information you have located for me, I amso very grateful to you all. Give me a few days to go through it all and I will be in further
contact. I note there was no mention of a marriage between Henry and Ann, which
is interesting.
Thanks again, be in touch soon.

I am seeking info on a Henry BISHTON, born Tattenhall, England around 1842.
Married a Catherine Smith about 1865.
It is likely he may have parted with Catherine and left for Canada around late 1870s
and is believed to have married an Ann Harrison around 1877 in Muskoka, Ontario.
I understand he is in the 1881, 91,1901 and 1911 censuses and possibly the Ontario marriages 1801/1935.
I am trying to confirm the Henry in Canada was the one who married Catherine and there may be some info available on these records.
Grateful for any helpgiven.
Many thanks.

Familysearch has the same marriage databases.

Because of Ontario privacy laws, BM&D records are severely limited in comparison to England, Wales & Scotland.

http://www.archives.gov.on.ca/en/tracing/the_records.aspx
Tells you what is available & where.

Assuming the person married before 1949 & is presumably deceased, give the details on the thread. Anyone with the relevant subs or who is familiar with the free site Familysearch can look for you.

The most recent Ontario marriages on Ancestry are to 1948. Most of the later registers post 1938 were compiled by Baptist, Methodist, and Presbyterian ministers.

The latest census available is 1921. There are Electoral Voters lists available to 1980.

Would someone with access to the above be able to make a quick search for me.

I have all the relevant details which I could pm.

Many thanks
