Why can't I find an Ontario death? SOLVED!

[chinakay]

Died, according to Mt Royal Cem's record, in Long Point Home, Ontario.

Died, according to the Quebec PR page, on May 21, 1896.

She was born in Dundee, Scotland, also according to the PR.

So why can't I find her in the Ontario records?

She's the only relative, that I know of, who had anything to do with Ontario...so I have no experience with Ontario records. How good are they? Is there something I don't know about looking up stuff in them?

Cheers,
China

If she died in Quebec why would there be a record of it in Ontario?

There is no trick with Ontario records.  They are usually excellent so I would suggest there has been a transcription error.

Would you like some help looking for her or do you want to find your Ontario lady yourself?  (her being one of a kind and all  )

Would her name be Christine?

I misunderstood when you said her death was recorded in Quebec parish records.

If you want more eyes looking then please post her name.

Morning everybody It's 0F with a windchill, what a perfect day to be indoors

She is Annie Paterson, I think but can't yet prove, my great-grandfather's sister. If I can prove she's his sister, I have his parents, huzzah! Since  I can't find a Scottish birth for him, I have a very good theory who his parents were, but it's only a theory.

She was living with my ggrandfather William at the 1891 census, in Montreal.

Here's what I've searched for, so far:
Ann, Annie Paterson, Patterson
______Paterson, Patterson
Ann, Annie ___________
______  _____________
Date of death May 1896, 21 May 1896
Date of birth 1854, 1855, 1856
Place of birth Scotland, Dundee Scotland

I've tried every combination I can think of, but it was so late last night and my brain was fried

If you'd like to give it a go, please enjoy yourself

Cheers,

Hi China 

Not sure if you've seen this possible birth reg:

1855, Dundee Burgh First District, Ann Graham Paterson (no image on SP so you'll have to order) It's the only one listed in Dundee in either the OPRs or the Statutory records for 1854-57

For some reason it's not on the IGI  - maybe it was a very poor image.

I've got a sense of deja vu here - haven't we done the Scottish end before on a cold day in Minnesota
