    3. The district that St. Francis Xavier is in is St. Andrews..you might try looking there for more info..I have a list of all the districts in Mb but I don't know if that will help you or not. [CAN-Manitoba] CENSUS BOUNDARIES-1891 : Hi, : I am one of the list members that is interested in the Central Plains region : of Manitoba, from Portage La Prairie and east to Pigeon Lake. : : I was looking at the 1891 census for Lisgar, which includes St. Francis : Xavier, in which Pigeon Lake is included. My relatives show up on page 44, : entry 201 which is at the very end of the St. Francis Xavier township or : enumeration district. : : My great grandmother, Sarah Ford Townsend shows up in entry 201, being the : housekeeper for three bachelor Cockbaine brothers from Cumbria, England. Her : son, Henry John Ford married the sister of the Cockbaine brothers in : November, 1890 in Portage La Prairie, and then moved on to homestead in : Ladner, British Columbia. Sarah is 58 and married. But her husband, John : Townsend, doesn't show up in Lisgar, at least not in St. Francis Xavier. My : thinking is that as Sarah shows up at the tail end of St. Francis Xavier, : maybe John Townsend is an adjoining district. In 1901, Sarah uses her maiden : name and shows up as a widow in Richmond, British Columbia. : : So could anyone help me in locating the enumeration districts that adjoined : St. Francis Xavier in 1891? : : Thanks, : : Bob Ford : Seattle : ________________________________________________________________________ : Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com : : : ==== CAN-MANITOBA Mailing List ==== : Canada GenWeb Archives Project : http://www.rootsweb.com/~canwgw/cgwarchives.html : Primary Records for Canada : : ============================== : Ancestry.com now has more than 200,000 subscribers!
