Census & Death Cert. look-up in Manitoba

[Blinkyman]

Trying to locate & confirm:-

Adam Hunter
born 1889, Kelton Parish, Kirkcudbrightshire, Scotland
Father John Hunter, mother Agnes Stewart
1891 census aged 2
1901 census aged 12
MI inscription:-
died 9 Feb 1913 Elmcreek, Canada

(Assuming Elm Creek in the RM of Grey, Manitoba is the location)

Could someone check any census records prior to 1913
& check the Manitoba Death Index

Any assistance or advice, gratefully received :-)

I learned 5 different things today

Information gratefully received.

The dates may be off a bit, as you say, so I'll continue to dig.

I suspect there may be two older brothers, David & John Hunter somewhere in the neighbourhood!?

Regards,
Blinkyman
