Could anyone tell me what information appears on a Death Certificate for a person who died in Victoria in 1971.
Is there a record of the person who notified the death as in an English Death Certificate.
Living in England - can I obtain a copy of the death certificate of someone who died in Victoria in 1971 - I have the registration information.
Many thanks
Donut

Hi Donut:
I've only ordered certs from Ontario, Canada. However, according to an online site:
British Columbia death certificates may be ordered by anyone with a valid reason, including genealogy. A standard certificate (it doesn't mention how far back) contains the person's full name, sex, date and place of death, place of birth, resident province (or state/country), registration number, and date of registration.
The site goes on to mention that a genealogical certificate or a photocopy of the original death record may contain: age and birth date, if married and to whom, burial place, occupation, parent's names and birthplaces.
Certficates may be ordered from this site:
http://www.vs.gov.bc.ca/death/index.html
[I believe this is the correct site!]

The record shows an informant who often is a child. I will pick up a copy from the local library for you. Is it the one for John Wark Bishop who died in Vicoria in 1971 mentioned in your other thread? Also I can get the other record mentioned for Mary Leila Bishop who died 1973 if you think that is of interest.
John

Hi John
Yes - I am looking for the informant information for John Wark Bishop who died in 1971 and also for Mary Leila Bishop who died in 1973.
Could you also look at a third death - that of John Franklin Bishop who died in February, 1999?. I believe he was their son.
Thank you
Donut

Registrations for deaths after 1988 are held by British Columbia Vital Statistics and are protected by privacy laws. According to their website, only immediate family members can order a copy of the certificate. Death registrations from 1872 to 1988 are held by British Columbia Archives and are on microfilm. Many libraries in BC have copies of the microfilm and that is what John can access.

Thank you for your information. I guess I'm not going to find out much about a death in 1999. Could you tell me where I might look for an obituary for someone who died in Surrey BC inb 1999?

Here's a link to the Ask A Librarian page at the Surrey Public Library website:
http://www.spl.surrey.bc.ca/Information+Online/Ask+a+Librarian/default.htm
They may be able to do a look-up in the local newspaper for you.
If they are unable to help, there is a Vancouver volunteer at the Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness website who does obituary look-ups for the Surrey area. Here's a link to that website:

I obtained the two death records. In both cases their son was the informant and he was living in Victoria at the time. Please send a PM with your email address and I will send them to you.
I could check for an obituarary for their son if he died in Surrey, B.C. The local West Vancouver library has the Vancouver paper which would probably be the best bet for an obituary. Are you certain he died February 1999 since trawling through newspapers can be time consuming if the date is not known.

Hello
Just noticed this thread and today I was trying to track down someone who I believe may have been married to my great uncle. She is Marie Peate King and I found her in an index as dying in Kamloops, B.C. in 1978. The Registration No. is 1978-09-010736. Is anyone able to tell me anything more about the death, such as the informant?
Thank You
Merv
