Finding Ancestors born before 1864

Finding Ancestors born before 1864

So 1864 being the year that NS starting keeping track of births, marriages, ect, it seems like the Canadian people born before this year are all but impossible to find. I can find some vague immigration records, ( http://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/discover/immigration/immigratio...; )but with a gap in the paper trail it's hard to find the relevant information.

For example,
Rebecca Duggan (4th g-gm) Born 1827 in Prospect, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
Death 24th Oct. 1904 Nova Scotia, Canada
Due to a consensus, I was able to find that she Married John Edgar and had 4 children. (James, Charlotte, Honora, Mary.)
James (1845-1912)
Charlotte (1848-)
Honora (1850-1919)
Mary (1854-)
Her husband John Edgar was born in Engalnd.
She is just one of quite a few family members who become very difficult to find in Nova Scotia after 1864. I don't knoow how I should go about seeking her parents, ect. Let me know if anyone else has encountered this problem and how they handle it.
