Canada Lookup Request / Re: Henry Octavious Atkinson
« on: Thursday 20 February 14 15:54 GMT (UK) »
Thank you PB, for those useful links. I've studied the 'rules' & can't say how I 'fit'. I am inclined to think I had better accompany my request with a letter of explanation & some proof of my relationship!
I am interested in the cert. as it may state how he died (though I am not certain about that in 1943, as it says it contains his SS no., place & date of death. My interest is not only genealogical - as all living descendants are outside Canada & know nothing much about him, it could be useful information about any inherited medical problems.
I have been attempting to learn, for over 10 years, something about his life in Canada between 1917 when he married my grandmother & 1943 when he died.
Had a small victory last evening - by perseverance or maybe pure chance, I discovered through a link on Cindi's list, the cemetery where he was buried & have sent by email for a transcript of the record.
I have attempted to glean info from Canadian bureaucracy before, but never say die, perhaps I will get lucky now with that death cert!.
Thank you again for your interest & assistance.
