Thankyou very much Roy and Janet for looking in the Manitoba Vital Stats. I had done this before without success and I am wondering if these Stats. are complete, or perhaps boundaries of the Provinces have changed, or there is another reason why this marriage is not shown. My clues are derived from the obituary for James Blair Aitken who died in British Columbia in 1951: "A resident of Agassiz for more than thirty years James B. Aitken died at his home Thursday. Born in Maryfield, Lanarkshire, Scotland July 5, 1869, he came to Canada and settled in Manitoba in 1892 where he married Margaret Taylor in 1894." (I should imagine James's widow would know where they married as all the other details on the death certificate are accurate.) I have also tried looking in the Ontario marriage indexes without success. Any other avenues I could try? John
