Records of Widows admitted as Militia Pensioners

These records give the name of the husband with his rank and date of death. Under "remarks" there are occasion statements regarding the subsequent remarriage of the soldier's widow.

This record can be found in the "C" series of the Library & Archives Canada . It is assumed this list was drawn up in 1818 or shortly thereafter (note the references to the date 1818 in some of the 'remarks' column, and the remarriages of the widows)
