Could'nt see anything on British Columbia Death Registration up to 1986. Marriages only go to 1932 so nothing in that department either.
Checked Border crossing from Canada to USA which go up to 1956 (although probably does'nt cover everyone/everything - so many places to cross) and found nothing there either.  Sorry  :(

Hi Sandra,
               Thank you once again for your help . I have posted on the USA forum and someone has pointed me in the right direction and I have found the deaths of Richard and Elizabeth.

You certainly do deserve the * on your name.

Regards,

 ;) ;) ;)
