Re: Reuben Williams family

maybe this will help

this is the government of Canada site

also the province of British Columbia is

http://search.bcarchives.gov.bc.ca/sn-202D45D/search#formhttp://search.bcarchives.gov.bc.ca/sn-202D45D/search#form

the census from the 1800's are also online

and each province has archives (however, I've found only a few that allow you immediate access online....the others ask you to email and ask)

good luck!
