Post subject:  Can't find family on 1916 census
I'm not sure where to post this as there's no subforum for the 1916 census, but I have a question.

On Ancestry.com (the free site; I don't have a subscription), it lists Mary and James Salaba as living in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. These are my great great grandparents and this is the first census I could find them in - they're very hard to track down! The thing is, when I looked at the census through Library and Archives Canada, I couldn't find any Salabas living in Moose Jaw. This is the information found on Ancestry:

Mary Salaba
Spouse: James Salaba
Birth: 1881
Residence: Moose Jaw, SK

James Salaba
Spouse: Mary Salaba
Birth: 1881
Residence: Moose Jaw, SK

Annie Salaba
Mother: Mary Salaba
Father: James Salaba
Birth: 1903

Vaclav Salaba (name may also be James)
Mother: Mary Salaba
Father: James Salaba
Birth: 1909
Residence: Moose Jaw, SK

Frank Salaba
Mother: Mary Salaba
Father: James Salaba
Birth: 1911
Residence: Moose Jaw, SK

Additionally, the Saskatchewan Virtual War Memorial says they lived near Punnichy in 1907 and later moved to Willow Bunch in early 1916. I can't find them on the 1911 census either, however there was a V. Salaba, born in 1884, listed on the Humboldt form. I couldn't read his homestead numbers, but I do know a Valcav Salaba homesteaded near Punnichy. The Saskatchewan death index has a Vachia Salaba deceased in 1913, but I don't know if I'm related to him or the other Valcav near Punnichy.

Does anyone have any tips or information, or should I just get a subscription to Ancestry? I know they also used to live near Willow Bunch. This Moose Jaw information is new to me. Thanks in advance!

Hi,

At the Library of Canada 1916 Census, your Salaba family are at :
Saskatchewan, District Name = Moose Jaw, District Number = 23, Sub District Number = 4, page 15.

Hope this helps.
