See if Ontario marriage records are available free.

Ancestry tricked me into looking at marriages in Ontario. Found James Evans married to Margaret Jane in 1845 but to find out any more info I have to buy a World membership $25 extra.

Notes:

The 1851 Canadian census has Elizabeth Kearn aged 65 and as born in Ireland. This poses the question as to where Edward and Elizabeth were married: Ireland or Madison Co. NY?

The Kearon Surname DNA Project establishes good probablity that John Kern-Madison Co. NY is the same as John Kearon-Arklow-Co. Wicklow, Ireland

Following from: Mindrum Family History
o Arrived in US 2 Jun 1806
o Naturalized 29 Mar 1821 in Madison County, New York John (Kearn) Kern (1751-1841), farmer and owner of fishing smacks; from Ire., 1806, with 8 children to avoid British Army draft for W.I. service; purchased 400 acres timber land at Pine Wood, Eaton, Madison Co., NY; m. Nancy Killen (1760-1858) John Kern and his son George were natives of Ireland. They came to America in 1806. Sailing up the Hudson in a keel-boat to Albany, they there took teams for Madison County, then mostly a forest-covered wilderness with a few scattered inhabitants. Uncleared land was for sale at ten shillings per acre. The family camped in the pine woods while John looked for a farm. He finally secured a tract of timber-covered land in the northeast part of what is now the town of Eaton. He built a log cabin as a temporary home for his wife and children. Like other pioneer farmers, he raised flax, as well as a variety of food products and kept cattle and sheep. His wife cooked and carded, spun and wove, made butter and cheese, and attended to other domestic details.
