Try the Manitoba Vital Statistics site. Most of the basic information is free. http://web2.gov.mb.ca/cca/vital/Query.php
In the case of Births, click on Detailed Information to see the mother's maiden name.

Also try the 1901 census of Canada (free at)

The special 1906 census of the western provinces is also free and is harder to use, but may still give you helpful info.
