You can search for Manitoba BMD records at this website, subject to privacy law restrictions....

You can search the 1911 census for free at this site.... it is indexed by geographical region......

I will see if I can find them on the 1916 Census, which only covers Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. Found them - see next post.

Hi Lionmands

I was able to do the look ups for the death registrations for Doris and Jonas yesterday.  If you would send me your email address via PM, I will forward the transcriptions to you.

Thanks.
Susan

Perhaps a coincidence of name but Marion Lily nee Seymour was born in Manitoba and died in Campbell River.
