NoteHe We do not have a birth registration for James. His birth was prior to vital statistics for births. His mother died, however, and is buried in Blenheim and it seems logical to assign Blenheim Township as the place of his birth.

James and Maud must have gone to Manitoba shortly after their marriage for their first sone, Harvey, was born there as were the rest of their children.

The 1916 western provinces census and the 1921 census shows them with their children. A Manitoba Vital Statistics website has birth records for all the children and the date of their births and the registration numbers are shown.
