CANADA: Ontario Deaths: Northern, Eastern & Central Counties


These records are arranged by location where someone is buried  beginning in the North then from the Eastern region of the counties within the Province, then moving towards Toronto, and south to the US border. Older county names are used,  not current ones. Boundaries changed over time,  so check records before and after the county location of your interest. Townships were moved to different counties. 

Some location names are duplicated between a County in one part of the province and a Township in another, with considerable distance between them. So “Perth” is a Village in Lanark County in the Eastern Regions of the Province, but also a County in the South Western area.  

Spelling on records is not changed, and may appear incorrect for today, but common in earlier time periods.

Meanwhile, Individual county pages are being developed for easier reading. Click on title to find many records for that specific area.
