Death info John Leeper

I am trying to find when John Leeper died and where. The 1891 cenus shows John (age 94yrs, born in Ireland) and wife Jane (age 70 yrs born in Ireland) in Portage La Prairie, MB.
Neither one of them show up in the 1901 census.
Thanks

Thanks,
I'll check that out.
The William you found appears to be the son of Francis Leeper, John and Janes oldest son. Francis lived in Manitoba for awhile before moving to Saskatchewan.

Thanks for the info. A few things I didn't know before.
They were Church of England (Anglican). I have contact the Anglican Archives in Toronto in connection with Thompson's I was researching but haven't yet looked into whether there is an Archives in Manitoba. Might do that, however.
