In connection with your posting you might find the following rather interesting. In the process of looking up Ontario vital records for the Finch surname I discovered the following marriage registration.
4922/86
The groom was Willam Steep, 22, born in Goderich Township, living in Clinton, a bachelor and a teamster, the son of William and Caroline Steep.
The bride was Emma Finch, 23, born in Queensboro, England, living in Clinton, a spinster, the daughter of Emmanuel and Elizabeth Finch.
The witnesses were Jno. McDonald and Nellie Finch, both of Clinton.
This marriage took place 28 Apr 1886 in Clinton and was performed by Rev. W. W. Sparling by license.
Both the bride and groom were Methodist.
The marriage is registered in Clinton, Huron County.
It certainly looks like your grandparents were the witnesses for this marriage in 1886. If so this might suggest that your grandmother was born earlier than the 1877 date that you are suggesting. In that case she would only be 9 years old when this marriage took place and would have been too young to serve as a witness. It also appears that your grandparents had met as early as 1886 certainly at this wedding if not before.
I could tell you more about the Emmanuel Finch family if interested, but this is the earliest sign I have seen of your grandparents in the vital records.
