[mlrsuperstar]

Thank you PB for your kind help on this one I am much appreciated.
The man in question was married to my great aunt before her untimely death in a traffic accident at the age of 27 in Wales .
There had been great sadness for " Uncle Bill  " as my mum called him as William and my great aunt Edith had lost a son , who was only a couple of years old ,  not long before her accident. Now with my mum in her nineties and in a care home she asked me to find out what became of him.

Sandra,

I have submitted the request to FS as advised. That is one really good piece of advice. The process was really straightforward. It will take approx 4-6 weeks for the result to come but it will be well worth it.

Many Many thanks Again for your help
Kind Regards
Mike

Well Eveyone ! It did not take four to six weeks !! It only took from the 21st of August to the Afternoon of the 4th of September.
William died of Coronary thrombosis according to the Michigan Dept of Health coroner.

I mad the mistake of saying that would be the end of the thread but now i have the death certificate
it has brought up one more question.
It says that William was to be removed to Toronto , Ontario for his funeral.
Anybody know of a grave  ?

Hi,

An Ada Ellen Heal (nee James) died in Toronto on Jan 5 1976.  She was in her 83rd year... so about the right sort of age to be William's sister.  Husband was Albert (not Tom ), but sister of Mildred, Clifford and Harold of South Wales.  Is this your Ada?  If so, she is buried in Prospect Cemetery in Toronto.  Perhaps William is too???

Obit in the Toronto Star newspaper Jan 7 1976, page B6.

How about this from findagrave - Prospect Cemetery

Right death date..  but says he was a soldier in the Canadian Army??  Coincidence?

Hi again,

I see this Ada is indeed yours.  The 4 children mentioned in her obit match the 4 children on a 1929 passenger list for Ada Heal.  She is leaving 1 Jenkins Terrace, Maesteg and heading for Canada.

Good result. Well done RK.
