You will want to follow the links from my ONTARIO CHURCH
RECORDS section at

If you're looking for marriages, you're out of luck until about
1831 since Baptists could not legally perform marriages until
that year.

One link on my Church page above will take you to the
Church Records Collection of the Ontario Archives and you
can look for both Baptist and Norfolk County. The locations,
names of churches, dates, and microfilm number are all
given, as in the following example:

"West Nissouri Baptist ChurchHistory, West Nissouri
Twp. (typescript) MS 881, Reel 2"
