HOW CAN I FIND CANADIAN RECORDS THAT DATE BACK PRE 1850 AS IN BIRTHS / MARRIAGES.
I KNOW A GREAT MANY RECORDS WERE DESTRFOYED BY FIRES BACK THEN FROM CONSTANT FIGHTING AND RIOTING ETC BUT I AM WANTING TO FIND PARENT OF HARRIET LAFRAMBOISE BORN 1822.
HARRIET LAFRAMBOISE WAS BORN IN MONTREAL CANADA ACCORDING TO HER, STATED IN LATER RECORDS
OF HER CHILDREN'S BIRTH CERTS ETC. SHE MUST HAVE WED IN CANADA TO AN ENGLISH SOLDIER JAMES PHILLIPS FROM BERKSHIRE. THEY HAD A SON JAMES PHILLIPS BORN IN MONTREAL CANADA IN 1848 AND RETURNED TO ENGLAND JUST PRIOR TO THE CRIMEAN WAR OUTBREAK.
HARRIET'S MOTHER APPARENTLY WAS FRENCH, BORN IN PARIS FRANCE AND HER FATHER'S ORIGINS ARE UNKNOWN EXCEPT THAT HE WAS POSSIBLY KILLED IN A RIOT AT THE MARKETS OR MURDERED ON HIS WAY TO THE MARKETS.
IDEALLY WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO FIND HARRIETS BIRTH AND MARRIAGE RECORDS.
CHEERS REGARDS
