Issues with Canada 1911 Census

[lhorosko]

Also - I have found many of these ancestors in other databases - but no luck with the 1911 census.

So you have 1921 census Springfield Manitoba 

Alex Keslik   38 Austria. Imm 1907
Annie Keslik   29
Josephine Keslik   11
Mike Keslik   9
Mary Keslik   6
Ellen Keslik   4
Nellie Keslik   2

Seems to be listed on Voters List 1940 still in Springfield. Must be mistranslated on the 1911 
Census was 1 June 1911 - so they should appear with Josephine.

This is maybe/vague  possible  for them under the surname of Lideick. The L could be a K - very poorly written

1911 - Selkirk, Manitoba  Township 11

Alexander, b. March 1878, Poland(Austria), immig. 1907, occ labourer - farm. Religion -  RC
Annie , b. Nov 1883, b -do-
Katie, d, b Dec 1906, b -do-
??Joseph, s, b. Dec 1909, b. Manitoba ??

It would be worth a look.

Thanks for all the help.

Gadget - don't think that is a match - religion would be Greek Catholic and they weren't married until 1910 so no children before then.

It was just a vague possible, Linda.

I've now exhausted all the online sources that I have access to.

Hi,

Hmpff...very elusive. It's possible it's just missing, or it was illegible. Yes, it's possible they were just
wary of anything government. I think the very rural areas of the Prairies didn't make it easy for the census taker.

There are two books about that area, they are slow to load.

First one is "Garson Then and Now 1890-1990". No mention of your Kizlik, but on page 234 (slide on the bottom of the page not the book page). There is a small biography of Michael Horosko b. 1887 Plazow, Austria with photo of him and wife Aniela Borysowich.

The second book is "They Stopped at a Good Place". Page 685, a biography of Steve Kianski.
He married Helen Kizlik, daughter of Alexander and Anna (Hlday). Alex b. 28 Mar.1882, Anna
b. 28 July 1889, both born Brody, Galicia, both spoke Ukrainian. There is a photo of Alex in
Austrian Army Uniform (1905).

I only had a quick look, so you may wish to have a closer look at both books. You can add
names in the search feature at the top of the page.

Sandra, your daffies are very cheery.

Thanks dbree

I have a copy of  "They Stopped at a Good Place" but I had never seen the other book.  And I did not know they were online anywhere so this is  a great resource for me.  Much appreciated.
