Marriage Record Ontario "Hobbins and Armstrong"

[mich]

Looking for the marriage of Dennis (Dorseance) Hobbins and Annie Armstrong. Their first child was born in 1882. In the 1911 census it says Dennis's birthyear is 1861 but in the 1901 census it says his birth year is 1846! And it says their first child Nellie was born 1882 but in the 1911 census it says 1885! I know this is the right family it both census as it lists all the children. But the dates don't jive! The rest of the children's dates are off by 1 or 2 years too! They lived in Peterborough.......so maybe they got married there.....maybe around 1881...........Thanks....Mich

Hi Mich,

A sister for Dennis can be found on this site (daur of Dennis Hobbins and Ellen Lucknow, married in Peterborough 1884).  A few other references to Hobbins in Peterborough if you search for Hobbins in the marriage section.

Thank-you so much....this is him!! and his children! You've put a puzzle piece together for me! Now I know that Dennis had a sister named Ellen! (From information that I had....but I did not know who Dennis parents were! This was the clue I needed! Now to find out where in Ireland they were from!!!......Thanks again  Other children they had were: Nellie, Kate (Katherine), Mary Lorraine (Millie),Charles, Loretta,Leta, Dennis, Carmal.
I have a Martin and also a Joesph Patrick and Annie. So their must be a  Martin Joseph and a Joseph Patrick! If you find their birth records that would be great too!!...........Again thanks for your help..................Mich

Hi Mich,

Glad we could help.  Have you found them in the census yet?  

Widowed mother Ellen is with Ellen and Dennis in 1881.

www.familysearch.org

The 1901 and 1911 are also on-line

http://automatedgenealogy.com

This transcription has links to the original images, which should give you a year of arrival in Canada for mother Ellen if she is still alive.  

The 1851 census is also on-line, but is not indexed by name so you really have to know what area you are looking in to find them on that one. According to the 1881, daughter Ellen was born in Canada in 1858, so it's possible the parents were here in 1851, but I would want some more info before randomly searching the Peterborough area.
