Ontario Vital Statistics: Registrations of Births, Marriages and Deaths

The Archives of Ontario receives Vital Statistics records from the Office of the Registrar General of Ontario on an annual basis. These records contain indexes (where they exist) and registrations capturing information about births, marriages and deaths in Ontario. Currently the Archives of Ontario provides access to the following years of vital statistics records:

• Births: [ca. 1830]-1917 predominantly 1869-1917 (Note: these records include registrations for a small number of pre-1869 births)
• Marriages: [ca. 1801]-1942 (Note: There are many gaps in pre-1869 marriage records)
• Deaths: 1869-1952, and Deaths of Ontarians overseas - 1939-1947

For registrations of births after 1917, marriages after 1941 and deaths after 1951, please contact ServiceOntario.
