Ancestry adds Canada, Newspapers.com Marriage Index

This database consists of facts extracted from marriages found on Newspapers.com™ Canadian newspapers dating from the early 1800s to 1999.

This database is presented index information only, with a link to the digitized page on Newspapers.com™. 

Ancestry warns these facts were pulled from a record by a computer and may not be accurate. For instance, an entry for a Hawaii marriage in August 1941 in the Ottawa Citizen

Name: John D'arcy Northwood
Gender: Male
Residence Date: Abt 1941
Residence Place: Birmingham . England
Marriage Date: Aug 1941
Marriage Place: Honolulu . Hawaii
Spouse: Olive Margaret

It's actually an announcement of a forthcoming marriage that may or may not have occurred. You wouldn't know that without checking the original image on the Newspapers.com™ site, "which may require an additional upgrade or subscription."
