Regarding marriage record for Sarah SMITH & James Allan STEVENS: Can’t find a specific record for their marriage. There is a record in Manitoba Vital Stats regarding her second marriage to Richard ...

I'll provide an update when his records are released. The Library and Archives Canada are digitizing all WW1 personnel and posting them online. While some files are there now, this is going to take up to another two years and until then the paper files are not available.

Hi Gary;
I've been poking at the available WWI records for 721292 Pte Joseph Albert Oig (the records aren't yet among those fully digitized yet). It would seem he was taken on strength of the 108th in Selkirk MB on 18th Dec 1915 (bottom page 2 of attestation) and embarked aboard SS OLYMPIC in ...

William's birth year is legible as 1855 while Sarah's birthday is 19 Aug 1853. They report that ...
