Hi Rae,
In 1919, there is no passenger list in the form of a big sheet passenger list with which most of us are familiar. This was during the Form 30A period. Form 30A records are ALL ports for the whole period 1919-1924 and are in the form of a single manifest sheet for each passenger. The reels will include all years mixed in together, but they are NOT in strict alphabetical order, so make sure you scroll right through until you find who you are searching. As Form 30A reels contain ALL Canadian arrivals 1919 to 1924, they will also include those who arrived via a US port, but stated their intention to proceed directly to Canada.
Check our TheShipsList Website ... http://www.theshipslist.com/Research/canadarecords.htm ... for more information about Canadian records. From that page, you will find a "link" named Form 30A, and if you click on that, you'll find a facsimile of a Form 30A record, and you'll see that they can contain quite a bit of information. At present, the only place to find the 1919-1924 arrival film is in Ottawa and at the North York branch of the Toronto Public Library.
For a short time during "Form 30A" , some ports during this period also filed big-sheet manifests, eg. Quebec, PQ continued big sheet manifests until 1921-07-13 Halifax, NS continued big sheet manifests until 1922-10-02 Saint John, NB continued big sheet manifests until 1922-09-30 . . so when you find them on the Form 30A record, you should have enough information about ship name, port / date of arrival, to check whether there is also a big-sheet manifest for them, where they would all be manifested together.
