John Henry Bell and Harriet Elizabeth Bates, England -> Compton, Quebec
« on: Wednesday 14 June 17 02:19 BST (UK) »
Hello,

Looking for more information about my GG grandparents, John Henry Bell (12/25/1832 England - 11/28/1920 Compton, QC) and Harriet Elizabeth Bates (1/14/1834 England - 2/29/1904 Compton, QC). John Henry may have had a brother Henry Charles or Charles Henry Bell (ca. 1829 England- ?) who also emigrated to Quebec. Their parents in England may have been named John and Hannah Bell. I have no information about Harriet Elizabeth Bates' parents.

I would be interested in seeing death certificates or any other documents which might indicate their parentage or further information about them. Thanks for any assistance.

John Henry Bell - 28 November 1920 - FIND A GRAVE

Burial Westbury Cemetery  Westbury Estrie Region Quebec.

Civil registration in Quebec only began in 1994 (yes!) so I think the only info you will likely get about a death will be the burial record, unless the cemetery itself has more info in the books. You would need to contact the cemetery directly to inquire about this.

The burial record for John has been posted on your other thread about him and I am posting a link to it here......

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=758507.msg6088664#msg6088664

You could apply to the Quebec Gov't for a death cert and see what info you get. Unfortunately, I don't have any experience with earlier Quebec certs so can't elaborate on what info they might provide. I suspect it will only have much of what you already have. Link here......

Added: I was wondering if you have obtained an original copy of John and Harriet's marriage cert? Modified this section to add the marriage....it doesn't give much info other than residence being Westbury PQ for both parties.
