Terrific work manawakian! Showing my ignorance here, but what is Henderson's Directory and is it accessible to the public?

Hendersons directories for many western Canadian cities can be found here at no cost.

http://peel.library.ualberta.ca/index.html

Click on books then search henderson's AND winnipeg AND directory, search through the findings for the year you want then select that book.  You can then search for surnames or street names.  If searching for a surname such as Saunders it will list all the pages where the name appears.  The vital page, which takes some hunt and peck to find, is the surname index, which lists all Saunders found elsewhere in the book.

Michael Saunders came to Manitoba about 1890 with his wife Mary and 7 children all born USA.  He was a market gardener in what was then the rural municipality of Kildonan and is now a district at the north end of the city of Winnipeg.  At some time between 1906 and 1911 he moved to the municipality of Ritchot, which is located just to the south of Winnipeg, where he continued to garden.  He can be found by doing a free search of cenuses here
