I have just found the marriage to Nella and yes it is the correct Charles - 1929 in Toronto and he states he was a widower.  So Hannah Hill nee Owen born 1890 died 1910-1916 in Ontario.  The hunt goes on

Wow thank you so much, so it looks like he remarried 1925-1953 and moved from Toronto to London.  I have just contacted London library for a possibly obituary but his marriage to Nella would prove it was him Also what happened to Hannah his first wife?  1910 until he joined up in 1916 when he states he was single (not widowed?)

I've just found the following on Find a grave which may be him although I gather the cemetery is some 2 1/2 hours drive from Westminster hospital?

Charles W Hill
Birth 1884
Death 1966 (aged 81–82)
Burial  Pine Hills Cemetery Scarborough, Toronto Municipality, Ontario, Canada

In the same grave is Alice
Alice Hill
Birth 1886
Death 1979 (aged 92–93)
Burial  Pine Hills Cemetery Scarborough, Toronto Municipality, Ontario, Canada

Again it may not be him

Regiment Number?  Sorry being from the UK I don't understand.  Is this burial in a veteran section?

The blue form in his WW1 records state he died on 28th Feb 1966 and his service number was 763259

Thank you for all the info, I will pass it onto my fellow researcher. The burial at Woodland cemetery is the entry I found.  It may not relate to Charles the solider but he did die in London Ontario on 28th Feb 1966

Thanks for the above, we did think this was the family but my fellow researcher proved it was the wrong family, marriage year shows 1910 - our Charles was born 18th Nov 1883 and Hannah in 1890.  Also this doesn't match with the Charles William Hill WW1 papers which we are 90% certain is our Charles due to the DOB, place of birth, father and the address of his father Charles Edward
