"The Wesleyan Methodist Church in Canada set up a central registry of births and baptisms in Toronto in 1843. The registry includes entries of births and baptisms of the Wesleyan Methodist Church in Canada up to 1874, of the Methodist Church of Canada, 1874 to 1884, and of The Methodist Church (Canada) up to 1910. The earliest [baptismal] entry is 1825 and the latest, 1910, but the bulk of the entries fall between the years 1840 and 1873. For all three denominations the area covered is Ontario and parts of Quebec. Please note, however, that the registry is not a complete record of baptisms that occurred during this period.".

Registers are arranged by localities (mainly townships) which are intermixed within and between volumes. Volumes 1-2 have locality indexes at the beginning. Volume 4 has a locality index at the end of the volume. Volume 3 has a separate locality index prepared by Valarie Albert. Baptisms are arranged chronologically within a township (or large town) so dates covered in each volume vary by locality.

Microfilm of original records in possession of the Archives of the United Church of Canada, Victoria University, Toronto, Ontario. Microfilm of a typescript (photocopy, 8 p.) of the locality index to vol. 3 prepared by Valarie Albert.
