The marriage registration volume for the Wellington District is not to be found on microfilm at the Archives of Ontario. The register was found in a book store and purchased by an interested person and then placed in the Wellington County Museum at Fergus. It is understood that it may be viewed on microfilm at the museum, but it has also been transcribed by Dan Walker and Fawne Stratford-Devai. This has been published under the title The Marriage Registers of Upper Canada / Canada West, Wellington District, Volume 9, part 1 and 2 and printed by Global Heritage Press, Milton, Ontario (now in Ottawa), in the year 2000

Page 32 of this publication shows a list of marriages by Rev'd Benjamin Eby, Minister of the Mennonist Society, Berlin. One of the list of marriages reads as follows:

This tells that her father was Frederick Musselman; that the her date of birth was July 16, 1826; and that Christian Frey's place of birth was Duhren, Baden, in Germany.
