Hi Michael and sstanger1,
Thanks for responding to this post. I am still searching for the marriage record for this couple (g-grandparents).

I think I stumbled onto the family of Eliza Thompson about a year ago through a baptismal record found by the Anglican Archives in Toronto for Eliza Levina Thompson b. 24 Nov 1867 in Haliburton, Ont. in St. George's Anglican church in Haliburton. The parents were Richard Thompson and Martha Ann Rodgers. I have found quite a bit on this family but nothing on Eliza after the 1881 census where she was still living with the family in the Haliburton area (the 1891 cenus shows the family in Saskatchewan). My g-grandmother, Eliza Lavinia Thompson, was born Nov 1867/68 in Ontario so this looks like a good match, hopefully. She died Nov 1906 in Devils LK, North Dakota with vertually nothing known about her Thompson family. Hugh McMillan remarried several times after that and eventually disappeared.

The Anglican Archives in Toronto did look for a marriage record for Hugh McMillan and Eliza Thompson in both St. George’s Anglican in Haliburton (1886-1896) and St. Paul’s Anglican in Minden ( 1886-1900 ) but didn't find anything. I think the search should have started in 1884 but I haven't asked about that yet. I also had the Anglican Archives in Regina, Saskatchewan look for a marriage record but nothing there either.

Bottom line is I still don't know where or when they were married. So, Michael, if you are willing to look in the Presbyterian Archives I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks again for your everyone's interest and help
Dan
