RECORD OF MARRIAGES, BIRTHS, BURIALS OF WINDSOR, NOVA SCOTIA, 1738-1818

The information taken from this old book was found in the Public Archives of Nova Scotia in Halifax. The book is called the O’Brien Book, 1779 and is MG1, Vol. 731A item 87 at PANS. The writing begins on page seven and just about all of the following even pages are blank. There were a couple of loose pages in the book, plus notes written on the inside of the back of the book. Where you see Loose-pg in the index, it refers to a loose page, where you find back/bk refers to the inside back of the book, L-pg Ear refers to a loose page that listed ear marks of farmers and where you see back/bk ear means that the list of ear marks on farmers was found on the inside back of the book. I have added a few notes of my own, so if you come across (see my back notes) then check with the last page. I have tried my best to write down what I saw in the book, but due to the writing and the condition of some of the pages, it wasn’t easy. Copied this 16th of August, 2000 and transcribed this 24th July, 2001 in Ottawa, Ontario, by Shirley Benoit I have compiled an index to the book, which you will find listed below and if you would like details about the information from the book, just e-mail me .
