Hi,
I'm not familiar with Canadian records hence this very basic question. Would a death certificate from 1962 show both the deceased parents? It was a John McKenzie and as his grave is in Toronto I'm presuming he died there.
Many Thanks

Perhaps it is possible to find an obituary but we need more details - Have you got any other details to share ? Was John married ? When was he born ? Anything that may help ?
There is a John Mackenzie born 1886 and died 1962 - Mount Pleasant Cemetery - wife Evelyn F Burt MacKenzie ???

Thanks Sandra, yes that's the man, I've had a look at the 1913 marriage but there is no mention of parents.

Excellent - thanks Sandra :)

Has Run Kitty (Canadian Obit expert) looked for obituaries for John or Evelyn ?
Sandra

Nothing on the marriage certificate as you said - no witnesses that might give any clues.
For background - this was the 1921 census showing the couple - with two children - living
1774 Masson Street Hochelaga, Rosemount, St Michaels.
John MacKenzie 34
Evelyn MacKenzie 28
Lestie MacKenzie 7
Edith MacKenzie 7

Have you noticed the anc tree which gives parents - David MacKenzie - 1853 - 1935 and Rebecca Neave 1856 - 1946
A daughter Evelyn MacKenzie (1914 - 1982) married to George W McBurney (1911 - 1972) Toronto
A son leslie MacKenzie married to a Rita Tracy (no source or proper date given)
The other one which is male is marked private -- so perhaps that's the line of the researcher of the anc tree ?

Photograph of John and Evelyn nee Burt Mackenzie - mentions same parents as the anc tree
I think this belongs to the same lady as the ancestry tree

Found an ad for George W McBurney sales - they were based out of Toronto (Leaside area). THe company seems to have continued on after George died...still based out of Leaside.
