Hi JDC,

Thanks for the link however I am not sure how to even start finding information on there, any ideas of what to look under? I found a few files for Lambdon county deaths but they only started in 1869 too. I will try to get in touch with the FHL.

Thanks,
Alexander

Hi Alex,

The first 4 or 5 letters are those for the county, so lambton county is lamb plus the number. You can scroll down and check the lambton county for what you are looking for - Middlesex, Huron and Kent counties are the surrounding ones.

I will see if i  can find some other Ontario BMD sites for you.

 I am the 'Stevenson fellow living in Middlesex'  :) ... only I spell it Stephenson. I too wish death reports in Ontario went back before 1869. My ggg was a William Stephenson of Strathroy, Middlesex County ... but he was killed at Oil Springs, Lambton County ... according to his wifes death notice (Strathroy paper 1897) ... while working for The Great Western Railway. I have a Strathroy burial record for him in May of 1866 .. 52 yrs old (from Church records)  But my brickwall is that while both Strathroy & Oil Springs had a paper in 1866 ... they have been lost (Strathroy starts in 1870 .. on micro film) ... and I have checked London & Sarnia papers .. but found nothing.
William Stephenson - born 1814 at Doncaster West Yorkshire - married Mary Scott at Cottingham East Yorkshire (Hull) in 1838. Williams parents I believe were another Wm Stephenson and an Alice Carter - married Cantley Parish W Yorks (Doncaster) in 1811..... Other east riding names are Nicholls (Bridlington, Yorks and Wigan Lancs.) and the surname Withernwick.

Sorry I did not mean to post twice ... but I do not see how too take this second one off.
