Haven't been able to verify this marriage date from the usual sources, but again M. I. Haley Hopper, was a thorough Haley researcher and perhaps her source was a Family record in a Family Bible - and as Ms M I Haley Hopper is now deceased - I cannot verify further with her. 2017 hw

1851 Census , Enumeration District 2, Canada West, Oxford Cty., Dereham Twp, Part 2
Lines 31-35

Geo Brington?, Labourer, Born Canada, New C. Methodist, Age 23, Male
Squires Haley, Labourer, Born Canada, New C. Methodist, Bayham C.W., Age 23, Male*
* Squires Haley is probably John Haley's brother, born 1827 hw but I have no idea who Abigail Haley belongs to at this time Nov/2006
John Haley was living in 1862/63 on Conc 12, Lot 12, Dereham Twp., Oxford Cty, On, as per 1862-63 Oxford Directory - Dereham Twp.
John Haley was living in 1867 on Conc 12, Lot 11, Dereham Twp., Oxford Cty., ON, as per 1867 Gazetteer & Directory.
1871 Census, National Archives, Reel C9910, Township Dereham, District 13 -South Oxford, Page 71, Line 10 - 17.
Haley, John, male, age 48, birthplace Ontario, religion W.E. Methodist, Origin Welsh, Occupation Farmer, married
Haley, Mary Jane, female, age 44, birthplace Ontario, religion Methodist, Origin English, married
Haley, Wellington, male, age 21, birthplace Ontario, religion Methodist, Occupation farm Labourer, single

They had horses, swine, milch cows, horned cows, sheep.
** Birthplace seems to differ for John Haley, on 1871, it is printed that his birthplace was ONT., but on death certificate it is noted as England - more verification needed HW
I have been unsuccessful in finding John & Mary Jane (Weeks) Haley in the Canadian 1881 census. I have found a John Haley living with an Isabella Haley, John being a farmer in the Hamilton, Northumberland West, Div 4, Page 22, Family 103, the age is right for John but who is Isabella, further the religion is Catholic which again doesn't fit.
I found another family spelled John & Jane Healey in Ontario, but again many children living with them and the names do not fit John & Jane's family names - so where are John & Mary Jane in 1881? hw
