About Canada Parliamentary Marriage and Divorces, 1867-1919
From 1867 to 1919, civil divorces in Ontario, Quebec, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and
Manitoba were granted by private acts of the Parliament of Canada. This database
includes the names of the spouses, places of residence at the time of the marriage
and divorce, other marriages (if noted), and dates of marriage and divorce (the
date when the act became law) for divorce acts from this period. The original
records may include additional information such as other places of residence,
occupations, additional court action taken, and number of children (and occasionally
their names or genders), if any. The very restrictive grounds for the cost of
a divorce made them quite rare; the records are, however, worth obtaining when
they apply.
