It's Treasure Chest Thursday - a time to reveal another gem in my treasure chest of family history.
I found the marriage record of James Abraham Kemp and Melissa Wilson online at Ancestry.com ("Ontario, Canada Marriages, 1801-1928," online database, Ancestry.com (http://www.ancestry.com), Melissa Wilson and James A. Kemp, Registration No. 10111, page 670, Simcoe County, 1876; citing original data at Ontario, Canada. Registrations of Marriages, 1869-1928. MS932, Reels 1-833, 850-880. Archives of Ontario, Toronto).

That record points to the microfilm that the Ancestry.com image was obtained from: "Marriages, no. 8460-12497 (v. E-H) 1876, on US/CAN Film 1863647 at the Family History Library.

This was the second marriage of James Abraham Kemp (1831-1902), who married (1) Mary Jane Sovereen (1841-1874). They were the parents of my great-grandmother, Georgianna (Kemp) Auble (1868-1952).
Randy, In the transcript on ancestry they cite the Source Citation as "Archives of Ontario. Series MS 932 Reel 22". Perhaps that bit of detail might belong in your citation?
