Now that you have digested ancestry.com index you should go to
www.censusfinder.comGo to Canda and then to the Dundas County sub section. Look for the last entry in the Dundas County section. It is titled 1790-1886 Church Register Transcription of United Anglican Mission of Williamsburgh, Matilda, Osnabruck and Edwardsburgh.
Opening paragraphs:
"Thanks are due to Johannes Helmut Merz who first made me aware that these records are available. The original Parish Registers of the United Anglican Mission of Williamsburgh, Matilda, and Edwardsburgh 1790-1886 were microfilmed in 1968 by the National Archives of Canada (NAC, MG 9, D7-23, Film M-1496), from originals lent by the Anglican Diocese of Ontario Archives. The Richmond Hill Public Library and NAC made this microfilm available through inter-library loan.
About this Transcription
All entries for the families of Staley, WALLISER and Vetter/Fader were transcribed. Additional entries were transcribed for possible relevancy to my research on the Staley family in Dundas Co., Ontario, Canada. More information on all other families in the following list can be found in the original registers. The spelling of names is exactly as found in the registers. This transcription includes 296 entries which represents about 5.6% of all entries in the registers on this microfilm. I welcome any feedback to correct any errors or omissions, and encourage other researchers to validate and supplement any information from the original registers.

This man has a lot of information up and he only transcribed 5.6% of these anglican church records. A quick review shows the Walliser family listed numerous times. But if it is Elizabeth's family you have a goldmine of information regarding marriages, deaths, baptisms, confirmations. I only scanned the records they run for pages and did not see the Carns name mentioned in the church records of the 7 family trees the man has made. But as he said he only transcribed what he needed which is less than 6% of the total microfilms.
Good luck-hope something clicks for you. if I find anything else I will send it.
