Need help with Manitoba marriages

Question

I have good sources (birth, censuses) for the early life of the the two daughters of A. N. McPherson but I can not find out what they did later in life.  I assume the two girls married but I do not know their married names.  FamilySearch is my go-to source for free source records but they seem to have nothing about Canadian marriages.  The two ladies are Mary Winona McPherson (b. 1 Aug 1890) and Marguerite H. McPherson (b. 1 Sep 1892).  I am guessing that they would have married  between 1908 and 1918 and probably in Winnipeg.  Where should I be looking for marriage records for these two girls?

Answer 1

Thanks Peggy.  I reckon that is indeed the other one.

Typical government web site - hard to use.  One has to ignore the "place" search criteria because it doesn't handle the fact that abbreviations are used in the original data.  I assume that "ST B" would stand for the Winnipeg suburb of Saint Boniface.

Thanks too for the source formatting suggestions.

That is certainly one of them.  That source was previously unknown to me.  Many many thanks.  Dave

Great! I have started this space with suggested formatting for Canadian sources:

A work in progress but it might be useful info.

Peggy - this is very helpful. Wondering if you have any suggestions for Metis Scrip records from LAC?

Now if we could only figure out a way to translate the old links to the new website at Library and Archives Canada ...

Thanks for taking the time to do this!
