On November 27, 1893, at Toronto, York, Ontario, Canada, a marriage was registered between Louisa Emily Gertrude Castley, 21, born in London, England, to Albert Edward and Susanna Castley; and, Frederick Albert Edward Smith, 26, stationer, born in London, England, to James Johnson and Caroline Rebecca Smith.
