If you are researching images relating to Canada have you tried the Auckland City Libraries?
They have an online database called “Heritage Images” and when using the search criteria of Canada you find there are seventy images to view.
You can choose the type of images you want to view: News & Newspapers; Research papers; Images; Reference sources; Books, and Magazines. Most of the images are late 19th and early 20th century.
There is an image for a grave marker for Samuel Morrin who was born 12 August 1842 in County of Two Mountains, Canada and died in Remuera Auckland on 15 April 1886. The County of Two Mountains is located in Quebec.
You can find an image for St. Paul’s church with the location being Ontario Canada.
There is a Canada Street in Auckland so you get a few images of the street in the search results.
Some references do not have images and this could be because they have not yet been digitized or for other reasons. You can find information on using and ordering images from the database here.
You never know where you might find information on your family. I wonder if someone is researching the Morrin family and do not know where Samuel ended up? If they find the Auckland City Libraries Heritage Images online he would not be a brick wall any more.
