Hi Sheila: I did look at the Ontario marriages for her but found quite a few Mary Boyle's and without her parents' names, it's impossible to tell you if anyone of them is correct. There is no Canada-wide marriage, or birth or death index. Each of the Provinces and territories collects their own vital event registrations and each has rules abt what age the records are that are available to the public. Only 5 of the provinces have searchable records online and only up to certain years. If she married beyound 1924, in 1925, in Ontario, you'd have to look at the 1925 Ontario marriage reg index at your local LDS family history centre to see if there were any Mary Boyle's married in that year, and then either order the marriage registration film in and look at that, or order a copy of any Mary Boyle marriages that you found in the Index. It's a two-step process - fist you find the person on the Index film and get the registration number from that, and secondly you either order in the correct marriage registration film, or you order the registration(s) directly from the LDS. The kind volunteers there will hellp you out. If she married after 1925 in Ontario, you need to know when and then you can order the reg directly from the Office of the Registrar General. Follow the pathway here: http://www.archives.gov.on.ca/english/interloan/v-myear.htm A free site that is working on putting online all Ontario marriage reg's, but it's NOT complete yet: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~maryc/thisisit.htm Do you know the names of her parents? That would help narrow the search in the Ontario records online at Ancestry. Do you know if she was Roman Catholic or Protestant? Do you know her married name when she took the post-WWII trip? Or the name and age of her daughter? The British Columbia site is not searchable by anything other than a name or place or date. You need to know who she married, or when she married. You can't search the sites using a name plus a birthdate or by parents' names,etc. British Columbia marriages online are up to and including 1931: http://www.bcarchives.gov.bc.ca/textual/governmt/vstats/v_events.htm#indexes Saskatchewan does not have marriages online yet, only births over 100 years, and some of the deaths. Marriages will be done at a later date: http://vsgs.health.gov.sk.ca/vsgs_srch.aspx Manitoba, not searchable by age or parents' names, etc: http://web2.gov.mb.ca/cca/vital/Query.php Nova Scotia search site: https://www.novascotiagenealogy.com/ http://archives.gnb.ca/APPS/GovRecs/VISSE/?L=EN The other Canadian provinces do not have vital records searchable online. Regarding the daughter, do you know where and when she was born? That might be on her death registration if you can get that. Did they go back to Canada after the post-WWII visit? Re her emigration, there are a number of Mary Boyle's when you search here, only 1925 - 1935 online and searchable by name: http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/archivianet/immigration-1925/001012-100.01-e.php These are of the right age but perhaps you think she was already married by then: 13. Boyle Mary 40 Br 1925 15. Boyle Mary 39 Br 1925 Click on the surname to see ship's name, date of arrival, etc. If you want to order copies of the above persons passenget lists see: http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/archivianet/immigration-1925/001012-130-e.html?PHPSESSID=37pgbus481t2dhppb4da8c1066 This National Archives database is NOT searchable by name, only by the name of the ship, arrival date, etc: Passenger Lists, 1865-1922 Info on other online passenger databases may be found lower down this page: http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/genealogy/022-908.003-e.html If she came from England to New York rather than directly to a Canadian port: www.ellisisland.org This group is working on indexing all ship's passenger arrivals to Canada: http://members.shaw.ca/nanaimo.fhs/ This is an on-going project so you may wish to check back periodically to see who has been added to the database. Canada is huge and without more info, finding her may be like looking for a needle in a haystack. Did she go back to Canada after her post-war trip? Canada has strict privacy rules so no vital events are open to the public beyond certain years set by each province. You may be able to get a death reg for her after the date open to the public, but you would have to know when and where she died first.
