Canada / Hall family
« on: Friday 12 April 24 19:08 BST (UK)  »
Alfred Hall married Daisy Hilda Paupst 17 Jan 1940 Smiths Falls Ontario. Alfred indicated that he was 34 years of age and that he was born in Brockville, Ontario. The marriage cert shows that his parents were Alexander Hall born in Lansdowne and that his mother was Mary Ann Saunders.
I can not find any record of this family prior to or after the marriage. There appear to be no bmd's nor census records. Any chance that I am missing something? There are no problems with the Paupst family

United States of America / Olga Helena Schlagerait Bourne Copper death
« on: Tuesday 02 April 24 17:16 BST (UK)  »
I need some help in finding the death of Olga please. She was born in 1915 Connecticut. Married Marshall Edwin Bourne (1910-1989) 1934 Connecticut and then married Jacob Melvin Copper (1920-2005) 1991 Citrus Co, Florida. Jacob died in Michigan City, Indiana and his death was reported by a niece. There is a US Public Record showing Olga living in Homosassa, Citrus Co 15 Nov 2007- 25 Mar 2008. After that I can not find anything.

The Common Room / Miriam Gardner
« on: Tuesday 19 March 24 19:22 GMT (UK)  »
Miriam was born 9 Mar 1897 Stockton. Her parents were Joseph Gardner and Winifred Hartshorn Foster.  She married Harold McKie(shown McKay) in 1921 Durham. Harold died 8 May 1938 Durham and his death was reported by J Gardner described as father-in-law.
In 1939 Durham there is a Miriam McKie dob 16 Jun 1898 living with a Gardner family but none of the Gardners seem to be her immediate family assuming this is my Miriam. There is a note with her name suggesting a change to Kipling and dated 25/4/49 but I can find no marriage to go with it. There is also a Miriam Kipling death in 1974 Surrey Mideastern associated with the 16 Jun 1898 dob. I checked the Surrey Electoral Records and there is a Mariam Kipling living in the Epsom area but no husband shown.

Canada / William Maynard death
« on: Saturday 17 February 24 17:41 GMT (UK)  »
I am having a hard time finding his death.
William was born 1930 in Windsor, Ontario. His parents were David William Maynard and Winnifred Margaret Mary Mason. William married Norma Doreen Anger(date unknown). Norma was born 1930 Windsor. Norma's mother Elna Doreen nee Lott died 13 1983 and her obit mentions that William and Norma were living in Georgetown, Ontario. Gail Lonee Rock nee Anger a sister of Norma died 29 Jul 2013 in Windsor. Her obit states "...sister of Norma Maynard(Bill) (2012) of Georgetown, Ontario". I assume that William/Bill died in 2012. Norma Doreen died 11 Feb 2022 in Georgetown but unfortunately her obit does help finding William.

I would like to see the obits for Nairn family members if possible. When Lauris Marleen Nairn died in 2018 her obit stated that she had lived her entire life in Cambridge, Ontario and that both her parents and husband had died in 2017.I have since found that father Lawrence Roy Nairn died 13 Jul 2017, mother Phyllis Charity Nairn died 25 Apr 2017 and that husband George Leslie Brown died 8 Feb 2017.

« on: Thursday 28 December 23 15:31 GMT (UK)  »
Jane Ward nee Garbut was born abt 1854 Welburn, Yorkshire. She married William Dodds aka Ward 23 Nov 1875 Sinnington. In 1881 William and Jane Ward are living in Wombleton with children Margaret Hannah, Robert, Mary Elizabeth, Thomas and Janes sister Sarah Garbut. I can not find the family in 1891. William dies 6 Jan 1893 Helmsley and son Robert was the informant.
I can find no other trace of Jane. She is not the Jane Ward who died Helmsley Jul 1894. That particular Jane Ward was married to a Charles Ward

Hampshire & Isle of Wight / What happened to the body
« on: Thursday 21 December 23 16:39 GMT (UK)  »
I have a death certificate from 1952 for a person who died at St James Mental Hospital. His address is given as 61 Hatfield St which I presume is the Hospital location. The certificates states that the body was to be buried at 61 Hatfield St. Would the body have been actually buried at the hospital or would he have been cremated and the ashes scattered? I saw that the site was sold to a property developer?
