| Baptism | William Harper was baptized on 9 August 1856 at Arthur Township, Wellington County. |
| Marriage | He married Olivia Shaw on 10 June 1903 at Riverston, Arthur Twp., Wellington Co.. There is some conflict with information for the marriage of William and Olivia. The vignette in the 1906 Historical Atlas of the County of Wellington states that William and Olivia were married in 1893. The registration record, however, places their marriage in 1903. There is also a problem with Olivia's age on their registration. The years of birth for both Olivia and William as they appear on their grave stones in Mount Forest Cemetery have been accepted here.
