marriage in Dufferin, Manitoba

[cranstone]

Hello All

Is it possible to find a marriage certificate for a Norman Mcdonald to a Barbara Mcdonald in 1891 in Dufferin, Manitoba please?

I'd like to find their fathers names please?  and anything else on the certificate.  Then I may be able to find her birth in Scotland.

Many thanks

What else do you know about Barbara ? Or Norman ?

1911 and 1916 census records indicate Barbara emigrated to Canada in 1889. Both census records list her birth year as 1867.

If it helps, the 1901 Canada census lists a DoB of 6 Dec 1868 for Barbara (born Scotland).
Norman's DoB is 10 Jan 1861 (born Ontario).
His parents could be Allen & Isabella McDonald (nee Mckilligan / Mackillican). Father born in Nova Scotia, mother born in Scotland.

Baptism Date:   15 Apr 1826

Nothing on passenger lists so far for a Barbara McDonald

Son John McDonald died in British Columbia 3 March 1975 but death certificate didn't help with Barbara's maiden name, unless OK means something.

Canadian attestation papers gave father Norman as next of kin

but death certificate didn't help with Barbara's maiden name, unless OK means something.

Perhaps it was an acknowledgment that Barbara's maiden name was also Mcdonald.

[*Sandra*]

No maiden name for Barbara when Isabella on her marriage to Kenneth Gordon Duff 26 June 1912.

No maiden name  for Barbara when Margaret Maude married Alexander Hugh McKercher 12 April 1922
