Extracted from a list of marriages solemnized by Rev. Geo. illeg, a minister of the Wesleyan Methodist Church, for the year ending Dec. 31st, A.D. 1865

John Hall Collingridge, 20, born Oxfordshire, England, residing Township of Guelph. Parents William and Mary Collingridge.
Sarah Eleanor Morden, 17, born and residing Garafraxa. Parents Ralph and Mary Ann Morden.
Witnesses Mary Ann Jose (or Jones) and Seyler Vrooman of Garafraxa (apparently both).
On 8 Feb 1865

The only apparent candidate for the witness Seyler Vrooman is Erent Schuyler Sylvester Vrooman, the son of James Vrooman and Eliza Smith. He would be the bride's first cousin. The other witness, Mary Ann Jose, or Jones, has her surname poorly written on the form. Neither option give may be quite correct.
 
MarriageHe married Margaret Jane Morden, daughter of Ralph Morden and Mary Ann Vrooman, in 1873.
A registration of marriage for John Hall Colingridge and Margaret Jane Morden has not been found. It is possible to say, however, that they were married in 1873. Wellington County GenWeb has a website. This includes many biographies extracted from The Historical Atlas of the County of Wellington which was published in 1906. This includes a biography of John Hall Collingridge. John's first wife, Sarah Jane, is not mentioned, though her children are. It tells that he married Margaret, daughter of Ralph Morden and Mary Ann Vrooman. An advantage to the biography is that it tells where John's children were as of 1906.
