Vancouver death 1953-COMPLETED

[carom]

Hi,
I wondered if anyone would be able to look up the details from a death cert. for Douglas C Weston.
I checked online and he died 11 Aug 1953 in Vancouver age 64. The ref no is 1953-09-007964.
If anyone can help I'd be very grateful.
Thanks
Caro

Hi Caro,

I looked up the registration today but I couldn't get a viewer with a printer so all I have is a transcription for you.

Weston - dead on arrival at Vancouver General Hospital, cause of death Coronary occlusion, myocardial degeneration with contributing factors hypertension and old prostatectomy.  Lived in city 40yrs, province 40yrs and Canada 40yrs prior to his death.  Residence 8180 Hudson Street Vancouver.  Occupation Orderly at the Marpole Infirmary.  Last worked in occupation March 1953, 20yrs in this occupation.  He was married to Lillian Alice Cross.  Born England 3 Mary 1888, parents Charles Weston and Sarah Scarle both born England.  His wife was the informant and he was cremated.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Lynwen

Hi Lynwen,

Thanks very much for the info, I wasn't expecting a reply so quickly!
The parents names confirm this is the man I was looking for.
Best wishes

I should also have mentioned that there is a death registration for his wife - Lillian died in White Rock in 1987, aged 98.  I didn't have time to search or look up any others yesterday as my parking metre was about to expire!  I was hoping the city would show a little Christmas spirit with the parking but no, I actually saw an enforcement officer handing out tickets on Christmas Eve.   

If you need Lillian's, I can add it to my list for next time.

Thanks for the offer, but I just wanted to confirm that this was  Douglas Weston son of Charles.

I really hope you get this message. Unbelieveable! I was casually searching for records of my maternal grandfather from my late mothers birth certificate (Douglas Colin Weston) of Vancouver circa 1921 - he was married to (Ethel Porter) from England and they divorced - Ethel returned to England with my 2 year old mother (Patricia Mary Weston) and she died on board ship of pneumonia. Mother was raised by Ethel's sisters back in Folkestone UK. 
So I wondered what happened to Douglas Colin Weston after that event and thought of trying to make contact with any of his descendants.  Excited I may have extended family out there!
I live in Cape Town ... long story ... my mother moved here with me in tow! I would love to hear from you and really hope you get this message or that it gets passed on to you.
Very sincerely
