1901 http://data2.collectionscanada.ca/1901/z/z001/pdf/z000020135.pdf
[Wm says his pob=Ireland & relig=Presby & dob=25/10/1873
1901 Schedule 2 (with his street addy) seems to be missing.]
The rego district for Skibbereen is Skibbereen - Skibbereen is abt 65km SW of Cork and abt 20km SE of Bantry.
Although Wm's attestation has been altered to show his yob=1876, the original year before alteration was 1873.

[Childrens Aid Shelter - 101 Mayfair Ave. It's just S of the Assiniboine R, near The Forks]
[Wm will be off in Camp Hughes - Clara is not at 461 Henry.
I didn't manage to find the Macrae Block (616 1/2 Main St) in 1916, and there's no Courtneys there in 1921 - check out Davidson Anderson]
I wonder abt:

There is a 1911 census aid showing which streets various subditricts (EDs in UK terminology) cover:
http://www.mhs.mb.ca/data/census/1911/winnipeg/
There are also a couple of maps there, both orientated such that N is at right edge.
http://www.mhs.mb.ca/data/census/1911/winnipeg/winnipeg1920.jpg
Donald & Assiniboine is 4 blocks W of Main, just N of the Assiniboine R.
Patrick crosses Logan 8 blks W of Main. Henry is one blk N of Logan, and 461 is at the junction of Patrick & Logan.
Redwood Bridge crosses the Red R abt 2km N of Logan (although one might think it's the Hespelier Ave Bridge based on the 1920 map).
Arlington is 9 blks W of Main - Manitoba & Pritchard are 5 & 6 blks S of Arlington.
Wm's CEF service file contains some puzzles.
I think you should try and find his pre-WW1 record on FMP/GR's
British Army Service Records 1760-1915
There's 41 hits for W/William Courtney.
It's a puzzle to me when he served - I guess the 7y with the Poyal Irish Fusiliers was around 1891-1898, but when he did 3y with the RFA is a mystery.
On p 17 of the record, on 17/8/1916 he says his mum was Ellen McNulty Courtney - she's a widow living in "Skipperine Co Tipperary".
So who was she? Searching in 1911 Tipperary gets no hits at:

However, there is a Co Cork hit:

The date is wrong for Wm's birth, so maybe Ellen's his step-mum.

I had posted the info that the daughters were in the Children's Aid Shelter in 1916 ...
I would agree that the marriage to Powell seems likely for daughter Clara Josephine born 1900 in Winnipeg
for info, in one of the many other threads, I believe it was pointed out that Skibbereen is actually in Co Cork and not Tipperary so the Irish censuses seem correct
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skibbereen
however the father in that Irish Courtney-Sullivan marriage is Sullivan
and the brother in the censuses is Kelleher
... so it's a little confused ...
