Ontario Marriage lookup - TANSLEY

[surfmate]

Looking for marriage of John Wesley TANSLEY  born Sep 1848. Possibly married twice, firstly to Emma Smith in 1872 and secondly to Sarah Smith in 1917 in Ontario. Hoping info on records will indicate if this is the same person

Hi Again,

This may be the previous marriage for Sarah Elizabeth Smith:

Name: Sarah Weaver
Birth Place: Warwick 
Age: 19 
Father Name: Frederick Weaver
Mother Name: Clucet Weaver
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1851 
Spouse Name: George Smith
Spouse's Age: 25 
Spouse Birth Place: Norwich 
Spouse Father Name: Samuel Smith
Spouse Mother Name : Jane Smith
Marriage Date: 29 Jun 1870
Marriage Place: Oxford 
Marriage County: Oxford 

If this is correct, they were brother & sister inlaws.  John's first wife was the sister of Sarah's first husband.

Hope that helps,

Nancy
