	One thing you can do is search the free census here - http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/databases/census-1911/index-e.html

	If one wants to search the 1901/1911 censuses, then the link to use is: http://automatedgenealogy.com/census/index.html Joy's link does have images, but find them first on AG, then use the location info from there to look up on Joy's URL if you want to save an image.
