This sad, but at least we know. He may have had good friends. We hope so! Your offer of the complete certificate is really generous. Our e mail is: (*)Now, another question...How do we make sure that his grave is marked as a Canadian Veteran?
Thank you so much for all your work on this subject. I had no idea we could get so much information.

Hello,
First of all, thank you so much for getting this information for us. It is a real breakthrough! The Death Certificate that I got/paid for from the BC Archives was very"bare bones".  It was called an "extract from the registration on file". It certainly is more than 20 years since he died and I explained the family connection but not too much info. There was no Next of Kin, no Cause of Death, No informant, no address and no connection to his Military service. It states his DOD, Place of Death , Birthplace - England and Residence - Prince George.
I will certainly contact the Funeral Home and see if there were family members mentioned. At this point, I am thinking he died a solitary death but "who knows?". I am especially wondering if his grave is marked as a Canadian War Veteran.. From his Service records, we see that he was severely wounded with gun shot wounds to his legs and SOS to Port Hastings on demobilisation.
From his obit it says he seved in WWII ..so he must have recovered sufficiently to do that.
Anyway...I will write and see what I can do. Many thanks once again!

Hi,
I wrote by "snail" mail and included a self addressed stamped envelope hoping for some info, at least a confirmation that he was buried in that cemetery and the grave location. But did not get a reply.
Since my first message to you, I have researched a bit of the 29th Battalion (Vancouver) and found Stanley's name and number on their roll muster. This is very encouraging to me.

Hi,
I do know that Mary Jane Palmer wa smaried to Frank Hollege and that they had one child Dorothy Isobel. That marriage ended in divorce. Her second marriage to Albert Van Klaveren was probably after 1889 or around that time. I will have to order the certificate to confirm. Mary's death is confirmed at 1904 as inscribed on her headstone. The death certificate has been ordered and she died in St George Hanover Square which is why I thought the avoe suspected marriage was a possibility. Albert must have been quite unlucky with wives if his next wife died two years later. I wonder if the 1909 marriage latsed a little longer.
