Hill/Owen Ontario
« on: Friday 16 November 18 08:37 GMT (UK) »
Myself and a fellow researcher have been trying to prove/disprove the following but as we both live in England, require help from Canada!

Charles William Hill born 18th Nov 1883 Birmingham married Hannah Owen born 1890 Haslingden Lancashire on 25th Dec 1908 in York Ontario.  Two years later they were witnesses at the marriage of one of Hannah's sisters. No record has been found of them on the 1911 or 1921 census.

 We are certain Charles William served in the 122nd Oversea Batallion as the father, birth place (although the year is incorrect) and  addresses of his father are correct (checked with the electoral register), however the demob papers state he is single (not widowed) and give his death as 28th Feb 1966 at Westminster Hospital, London Ontario.  I found a burial at Woodland cemetery

HILL, Charles William   Woodland, London (Section A,AEN,AES,L,VA,VAA,VB,Y)   Middlesex   London   MX-LC-152-1

which maybe be the same Charles William

So we need the age at death/obitory of the 1966 Charles William and to discover if the Woodland burial is the same Charles William.  If it is 'our' Charles William then what became of Hannah 1910-1916?  I can find no death on Ancestry

Any help appreciated!

Thanks for the above, we did think this was the family but my fellow researcher proved it was the wrong family, marriage year shows 1910 - our Charles was born 18th Nov 1883 and Hannah in 1890.  Also this doesn't match with the Charles William Hill WW1 papers which we are 90% certain is our Charles due to the DOB, place of birth, father and the address of his father Charles Edward

Perhaps e-mail or write to the cemetery to see if you can find any further details  ???

Dates are not always accurate on census, some we have to take with a pinch of salt.
