Maggi; There were two other replies to your querie on the SCOTS-IN-CANADA Digest mode (That's all I am subscribed to.) Bascially, they said that Pine Dock is a community on the west-central shore of Lake Winnipeg in Manitoba. Bullhead Bay is the bay upon which Pine Dock is located. As I said, Matheson Island is within Lake Winnipeg a short distance north of Pine Dock. I am not terribly familiar with the census resources here in Manitoba since all of my research is elsewhere. However, if you can give me a couple of days, I will see what I can find for you at the local genealogical society office. In the meantime, perhaps some other kind soul will come forward who is more helpful than I.
