The census was supposed to reflect the status on 1 June 1911, but it would be a week or 2 later before they got to page 24.
Evenso, a 1 y.o. cannot be born in Sept 1910 - either believe the age or the year - depends on how question was answered - clearly can't rely on enumerator's arithmetic.
Unlike the UK, the Canadian census was done by answering questions at the house.
In the UK, forms were distributed beforehand, then picked upafter census day, when help would be given completing them when needed.
This wouldn't have worked in Canada. Although Canada seems to be more literate. it's the distances that decide it.
In the UK, they had a limit of 15 miles or 200 houses for 1 enumerator, so he could comfrtably drop the forms off in 2 days at worst, and 1 morning in cities.
I've seen Canadian enumeration districts out west that exceed 500 sq miles.

The Lachine rapids are a series of rapids in the St Lawrence off the SE corner of the Ile de Montreal.
They create standing waves you can surf on, although I suspect that wasn't too popular in 1911.
The Lachine Canal bypasses the rapids - it's 15km long and cuts off the corner.
The town of Lachine starts at the SW (upstream) end of the canal, and continues upstream along the river.
House #s increase as one heads W, so a # like 140 would be near where the canal leaves the land and heads into the river between breakwaters.


If, instead of doing the search at Margee's attestation URL, you take the search help link, then you can see how to buy copies of John's WW1 service record.
There are also links there to the war diaries of the 3rd battalion, and the 1st brigade and 1st division (its higher formations).
If you follow this up, then you might find the following useful:

yep we knew about that death but no details was just a brief bit on tree we were sent so sad

amazing how Fossett has been changed in these records as well wonder if it was just a accent thing and got transcribed to the different one.

There's also the sad death of Norman David Cogdale, aged 3 years, son of Arthur Richard Cogdale and his deceased wife, Irene Patricia Young. The young lad went missing on 19 April 1937 and his body was found drowned in the Lachine Canal on 8 May 1937.

thank you Margee will send them all to mum.
