You can search the 1911 census for surnames on http://automatedgenealogy.com/census. Note that all that census has not yet been transcribed. In a quick look some of the surnames you list are in Rural Municipality of MacDonald, which is in the Red River Valley. In searching, you need to Merge some of the related spellings of the surnames, as they may be spelled differently than the way you have them. For example, I didn't get a Binnington, but when the Search said "No Matches", I clicked on Bennington and merged it to get some names. I believe Downes and Downs are also listed. There is a section at the top of the screen of a transcribed page where you can link to the actual census image to see more of the information about the persons on that page. Diana Gendron
