Treasure Chest Thursday - Kemp/Wilson Marriage Record

...
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).  


A record transcription is also in the FamilySearch historical record collection titled "Ontario Marriages, 1869-1927" without the record image.  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.

The image obtained on Ancestry.com is:

  1. 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?
