This is apparently from either Archives of Ontario "Registrations of Births and Stillbirths – 1869-1913. MS 929, reels 1-245" or "Division Registrar Vital Statistics Records, 1858-1930. MS 940, reels 1-4, 10-15, 17-20, 22-25, 27-28". --- In either case, the microfilm apparently does not contain the odd-numbered pages, which probably had additional information about the birth, such as address, doctor or midwife name, etc.Charles Augustus Burton-Bertha Butson - Marriage - 20 Nov 1901
