Hello
My apologies - I didn't mean to post in Canada resources ! I meant to post in Canada look up request !
I am researching my grandfather - William Richard Johnstone b1924 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. After many years of searching, I recently discovered he was my grandfather via a first cousin DNA match. (my Nan had an affair during the war while her husband was away and she never divulged his identity)
One of his other grandchildren who I met online via facebook has given me some information so far, and I've added it to my tree.
He was a Royal Canadian Airforce pilot in WW2 and served in England (where he fathered my Mum but didn't marry my Nana). Not sure if he served elsewhere.
He returned with an English wife, Joan (nee Dallimore) and daughter T A Johnstone, and they moved to British Columbia and lived in Vancouver and Victoria. He later divorced Joan and married a lady named Ollie.
I'd love to find his birth record in Manitoba, his second marriage record which I believe would have been in Vancouver or Victoria (I do not know his second wife Ollie's surname at this point) and also the birth records of his children A E Johnstone & D J Johnstone.
I have created a public profile of him on my ancestry family tree.

If anyone can help find out about him and his children (my aunts and uncles) I'd much appreciate it.
Thank you kindly
Jane
