1916 Census of Western Provinces Now Searchable by Name

Although the 1916 Census for the Western Provinces has been available for some time, it has never before been searchable by name. However, changes have been made to the database have been made to make searching for your ancestor by name is now possible. This makes the use of the database far more user friendly than having to wade through pages from counties where your ancestor was known to have lived.
