Hi all 
This is a bit of a stab in the dark but as I am new to Canadian genealogy maybe someone can help me.
I am looking for a birth and marriage in Canada. The problem is it could be any state at all.
The marriage is between John W Joyce and Gertrude Pollard (approx. 1919) and the birth is of Gertrude P(atricia?) Joyce (approx. 1921).
Do I stand a chance of finding these?

Hi Damian,
Did a quick search on Ancestry.ca and found a marriage for a John William Joyce in Ontario
but as I no longer have a membership I couldn't access further.
If you ask a fellow lister who has a membership I'm sure someone will do a lookup to see if this is your John .
Without a exact Province in Canada it might be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
At present only Manitoba Vital Statistics has a online BMD Index along with British Columbia and Saskatchewan has births and deaths . You can search their sites to see what years are available
Good luck.

Thanks everyone for their help so far!
Yes I have them in 1930 but I think I have found John in 1920 (US) and it says he is "single" so perhaps they married in 1920. I suppose I have to hope they are living in Canada in 1921 or they will have slipped between the two. Does anyone know when this census will be available for the public?

New info suggests the family were in Montreal in 1920...does that help track down the birth or marriage?

Wow! That's great.
Can I ask you your source...is there a original document somewhere or is this transcribed somewhere?
Thanks!
