That one is working
Just looking again for marriage of Alice Edwards to Frederick Porter
It could be in Manitoba or BC. Frederick's name only known from Alice's death cert

Perhaps if you contacted Vancouver Public Library to see if there is an obit for Alice/Alyce Porter nee Edwards (who passed away 16 May 1970 Pearson Hospital Vancouver) It may have further information to help you.  Have you traced the informant - A E Edwards  (cousin)  who lived 15 St George Road Winnipeg Manitoba

Well I have found possible candidates for Frederick.

Here is Alice’s obituary
 
A E Edwards is her cousin.
The only one I met was Edwin, my grandmother’s cousin, who I knew as uncle Ted

P.s.thanks for reply
