Percy Heyd in Simcoe, Ontario
« on: Saturday 25 October 14 16:19 BST (UK) »
I am looking for any information(birth, marriage, death) for a Percy Heyd. I know from at least 1957 to 1972 he and his wife, Phyllis, were living in the Stayner, Ontario area and by 1972 he was retired. I know this is very little information to go on, but I hope the unusual spelling of his name may help. Thank you in advance.

It would appear that Percy was married to a Mabel Bashford as I found a death record of a stillborn baby born to them August 3, 1920 in Tillsonburg. Both parents were born in England according to the record.

Thought I had the obit for Jean but reading it through it is not giving the correct parent - strange !!
Jean is in the same grave location as Percy and Phyllis but the parents are being given as George and Annie Heyd  ???
