The Manitoba Vital Statistics genealogy database has a death for a William Hirst in Brandon on 1 Jul 1940. There is a date of birth listed as 20 Jul 1869 which is close to the one you have listed. It is possible the date could be mistranscribed but you would have to order a copy of the registration to get the other details (ie parents names, etc - if known). Here is a link to their website: http://vitalstats.gov.mb.ca/Query.php The registration would cost $12 Canadian and there are instructions on how to order at that link.
