The Talbot District by this time was defunct, though the clerk at town of Simcoe continued to enter marriages in the Talbot Marriage Register for at least a time. Walpole Township became a part of the new county of Haldimand and Villanova in Townsend Township became part of the new county of Norfolk.

Where were Richard and Catharine married? We don't know. If Rev. Goble rode around his territory by horseback, he may well have married the couple at a residence in Walpole. Or Richard and Catharine may have gone to Villanova to marry. A newspaper notice might tell the tale, but one hasn't been found.
