You can get a death certificate although it will not have much on it - less info than at www.cwgc.org.uk
It counts as an 'overseas' death.

http://www.stpaulschurch.net/RAF.htm - info on the cemetery, although the image of John Osman David Kellow's grave is missing - perhaps try contacting the people who run the website?

Thanks for info.........Have several photos of church and cemetery in Canada, every rememberence day they hold a service and all the boys buried there are remembered! Vicar is a lovely lady who I have been in contact with and who took the photos and also got me copies of the press cuttings of the crash in which Jack died.

How kind people are when water is a great distance.

Thanks again
