Here's an example of compiling 1800s Manitoba family records
by using 1900s digital online records available now for BC (after some of the people moved there):
I used
https://familysearch.org/searchto search for family records:
I rarely find actual marriage records, but I’ve found many excellent substitute records, like their own death record or their child’s marriage record, listing (bride’s and groom’s) father’s name and maiden name of mother.
At
http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=REG&d...are posted a lot of grandchildren from the 1849 Ontario Canada marriage of the
1881 Manitoba family of Isaiah Mawhinney and Elizabeth Rutledge
Quite a few of the exact Manitoba family records were discovered by searching in BC (for example) for their own death records, or their children's marriages in BC digital records on
https://familysearch.org/search listing (bride's/groom's) full mother's maiden name etc:
