If you would like the census images for your records, they are all available for FREE :) :)

Karenlee found all of the references for you.  You can search the 1906 and 1911 censuses at:

http://automatedgenealogy.com/

Use the "split screen" or "split view" options at the top left of the transcript pages to see the actual images.

1911:

Interesting to note that on the transcript page, there is information added by someone (probably living, so can't say the name here) about this family.  See the bottom of the page for contact information for this person.  He/she (name could be either??) may be able to help you. 

The 1916 census is on the Library and Archives Canada site, but it is only searchable by location, not by name.  Thanks to Karenlee, you have the location information.  Here is the full location/reference page:

http://www.rootschat.com/links/0d12/

From here, you can choose either JPEG or PDF to view the census.  I chose JPEG and posted page 19 for you:

He is an accountant.  His obit says he had been the treasurer of the School Board for many years, so this fits very well.

Hey Mandy,

Just got back from the cemtery/library and your instincts were correct. The Francis Bates mentioned in the 1916 census was your great grandfather's sisters's husband.  He married Alice Welham  in Saskatoon in 1907 at St. James church (have a picture) her dad was S. Welham from Ipswich England.  Francis was born London November 29, 1874 London England.   His dad's name was John B. Bates from St. Albans in Hertfordshire. (the following was taken from a bio of him at the library btw)

Hopefully this makes sense to you, I will be in the Chatterbox for a little while if you need any clarification.  Also could you private message me your email addy, the gravestone pictures are a bit big bit wise to fit on Rootschat message.

Oh and the address on the 1916 census that they were living at is now a vacant lot  :)

Talk to you soon,

Jeff
