There is a local history book for Young and surrounding area available online.  Write up on a Meyer family and Renner family but don't specifically mention your group:

Incoming passenger list from Bremen to New York aboard the vessel Rhein on 26 August 1913 for an Emilie Meier, aged 35, widowed, with sons Fridrich, aged 16, and Philipp, aged 11, bound for Trome(?), Alberta, all born Germany, all Lutheran:

Frederick is buried in Young (died 1958).  By the time of the 1916 census, he is in Morris, working as a farmer labourer, aged 19, born Russia, single, immigrated 1913:

Philip is also nearby noted as Philip Renner, aged 17, single, born Russia, immigrated 1914, working for the Young family, living next door to Christian and Mina Renner in Viscount.

I think the mother Emilie shows up as Amelia Renner, also in Humboldt (Quill Lake), in 1916, aged 37, born Russia, with new husband, Carl Renner. She emigrated in 1914 and he emigrated in 1905 with two children, now aged 16 and 12. Younger children aged 9, 7, 4 all born in Saskatchewan, and likely from Carl's first marriage.

In the 1926 Census, she is in Morris with husband.   In 1931, she is the Emily Renner who is living next door to her son Philip. I had included the link in a previous post.

In Carl Renner's obit, it indicated that the family had moved briefly to California around 1922 returning a year or so later.  There is a border crossing record in 1921 for Amelia Renner, aged 42, born Odessa, Russia, last permanent residence given as Young, Saskatchewan, having immigrated aboard the SS Rhine into New York in August 1913.

Hi Eileenwilson,
Thank you, a lot of information to look at which will take time to go through.

Just to let you all know i am helping my Cousin in Manitoba who was a Mayer/Meyer before she married. She is the daughter of Alfred John Meyer 1926-2005.

Kind Regards

All,
The information i have from my Cousin is that Alfred John Meyers father was Philip Mayer/Meyer abt 1899 Russia to 1979 died Drumheller, Alberta, his wife was Elizabeth Anne Koslowski 1903 Germany to 1991 Vernan BC.

The question is was Elizabeth, Philips second wife, if the census records you have sent states his wife was Louisa?

Trying not to get too confused.

Any help would be grately appriciated, thank you all.

Kind Regards

Not sure if eileenwilson is aware but the ancestry links are only useful if the poster has an ancestry subscription, otherwise they only link to ancestry subscription page.
Lots of good info from Eileen for you to digest.

This maybe a useful obit - this was the sister of Elizabeth Lindgren/Lizzie

Sorry about the links. I will edit with the images. 

I wouldn't get hung up on the Louisie/Elizabeth ... it may have been Lizzie mistranscribed by the census taker, but the info matches.
