Hi,

A passenger list on the SS Canada departing Liverpool arriving Portland, Maine on 5 Feb. 1910.

Pickles, Mary Jane, age 30, single, b. England, destined to Saskatoon and to James Dickson, Stoney Road, Saskatoon to be married. She gives her brother Calvin Pickles of Thornton, Bradford, England as closest relative.

With her is her sister Edith Pickles age 20, destined to Saskatoon as well.

Saskatchewan marriage records are not available. See here, and these records have been unavailable for quite a number of years.  ???

I did have a look in the Saskatoon newspapers to see if there was  a marriage announcement, but no luck.

Edith must have married the same year that she arrived in Canada:

Her husband, Percy, passed on 29 May 1949 in Saskatchewan.  There was a death notice, but nothing of genealogical value.

Edith must have moved to Ontario to be near one of her daughters:

I know you have it... but have to say was totally impressed with the Pickle sisters stating full names for the children on the 1916 census!

- They were actually farming around Eagle Creek, about 50 mins drive N.East from Saskatoon

I am thinking if you want the marriage info & don't mind paying for it...it should be searchable on their end. Wouldn't hurt to ask what the cost might be, if you can give them an approximate date.
(Also the names are quite distinct if they also used their middle names & I am guessing they would have.) Surely they must have a searchable database for some marriages.

-Forgot to say that on 1916 census, date of immigration for James  - 1902
1906 says 1901  1911 Robert says 1900 and James says 1906? ( or a very bad last zero)

Brother Robert isn't included on the FHS tree so am adding some of his info for those searching
Margaret Eunice  DICKSON birth Aug 22 1908
Born: PERDUE Sask   parents Jeanette GRIEVE & Robert DICKSON
Sister Mary Valance Dickson doesn't show on the records with various details etc. searched.
1911 census has an elderly/widowed Andrew Grieve a few dwellings over who may be her father
1916 Robert's family- with wife's sister & her Children & M.I.L. (Eliz. Grieve m. Thomas GRAY 18/11/1889 Winnipeg Manitoba)
Note Jeanette is now Jessie, and have seen this forename before, also interchangeable with Janet, Jane, Jeanne, depending on a Scottish family's nicknaming variants.

ADDING: By the way several Graveyards here in Manitoba have plenty of gravestones, well into the late 1800s, with Scottish wives under their maiden names.
