There are some very kind people here who do look-ups of BC BMD information that is found in the Archives database. If you change the subject line of your initial post to "BC Look-up" and then post the details of the registrations you are interested in someone can hopefully look them up for you. There is quite a bit of detail on the registration from what I understand.

To change the subject line simply go to your first post and click the "modify" button and then change the subject line.

I now think I may have found Frances Neill Born 1901 in England. She may have married a Robert Watt born 1900 in England and emigrated to Toronto like Frances. Their marriage I think would be in Toronto.
Could anyone do a look up for their marriage please?
I am still looking for Florence Neill born 1902 in England and William Neill born 1905 in England. Could someone point me in the right direction as I have tried as many sites on these boards but cannot find anything.
Getting more confused by the minute !!!
Thank you

Edna, to confuse you even more...
My ancestors lived in Toronto.  Quite a few of them had incorrect dates of birth on the 1911 census.  In one case, the father's dob was 1862, but I have proof it was actually 1863; the wife was 1862, once again I have proof it was 1861 and one child was 1892, which was his correct dob.  Be careful with your Florence and William's years of birth...they may not be correct on the census.  If I remember correctly, in all cases with my ancestors, the months were correct.

Another thing to keep in mind, there's always the chance that the spelling could have changed after 1911: Neill to Neil.

If this wasn't suggested earlier, there are some Ontario BMD's prior to 1924:

Lisa
Thank you for your hints and tips and for the other site to search.
If it is the right Frances, she died in November 2000 in Toronto. Robert Watt died in 1991 in Toronto.
Hopefully I will try and get a little time to search this site.
In the meantime have a wonderful Christmas.
From Ireland to Canada, who have been so helpful.
