Canadian Birth Certificate 1919

[1000xlch]

  Hi everyone

Can anybody enlighten me re applying for a birth certificate from the UK for a Canadian ancestor (grandfather) of my daughter in law born in Windsor, Ontario.  I have the short form birth cert but need the long form one to find exact details.  My daughter in laws mother lives in Cape Town, South Africa so correspondence except by email is difficult.

Cheers

Hi John
You may well find this on Ancestry, I've had success this way recently

Hi John,

Ontario births are only public up to 1912? currently.  A new year is added each year.

You can order a birth certificate from the Province of Ontario at www.serviceontario.ca you just have to provide proof of kinship and be entitled to the same.  It costs $35.00

I should add that I sent for my grandmother's birth certificate with a letter attached from mother authorizing the Gov't to provide the same to me.  It was all done by fax.
