HASTINGS, Robert Noel - poss. born 1917 Vancouver, died 1995 Gibsons
« on: Tuesday 18 September 18 22:42 BST (UK) »
Hi everyone.

This post follows on from here: http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=800675.0

I am looking to see if I can find more information about Robert Noel Hastings who died in Gibsons on 26 January 1995.

His death record shows he was born in Vancouver on 25 November 1917.  Both parents are listed as Not Known.  The informant appears to have been his (ex?) son-in-law.

Robert was married to Ruby Mary Wright (born in 1933 in Mission and died in 1993 in Sechelt).

Any assistance gratefully received.

Hello....

It is now more than 100 years since he was born and privacy legislation may now not apply. If you haven't already done so, you might try contacting the Gov't at this link and ask them if ordering a cert with the DOB you have (quote it) would be possible? Contact email link is at the lower right.

Hi Carole

Many of those 511 may have read it it within the first weeks of posting.  It's been over a year and the post will have dropped down the list a bit.  Is there really any issue with bumping it up?

His death registration indicates he was a truck driver, but he shows as a mechanic in a couple of Voter's Lists:

1957 Gibsons, BC  Robert N. Hastings, labourer, Mrs. Ruby M Hastings, housewife

1965 Kaslo BC, Robert Noel Hastings, mechanic, and Mrs. Ruby Mary Hastings

1974 Gibsons, BC. Robert N. Hastings, mechanic, North Rd., Gibsons with Mrs. Robert N. Hastings.

Looks like he preferred living in small towns!
