Perhaps there is a mix up some where ??? This does not look like the right Kenneth Fletcher.

Ontario Marriage - Cora M Patterson born about 1914 - aged 22 years
Marriage Date 13 Apr 1936 Bishops Mills, Grenville, Ontario
Father George Stanley Patterson - Mother Sara Patterson. spouse William Kenneth Fletcher.

Cora born 10 March 1914

William Kenneth Fletcher - born 2 May 1910 - farmer - aged 25 years - bachelor.
father William Fletcher  - mother Catherine Jane Robertson.

This William Kenneth Fletcher is the correct age as per obituary information Kenneth Fletcher died 1988

parents :-

William Fletcher - 1883 -1957

Beachburg Union Cemetery Beachburg, Renfrew County, Ontario.

Catherine J Roberts Fletcher - 1884 - 1938

Sandra,
Thank you again for your extensive Canadian research.

I was warned that this family was complex! So I might well have barked up the wrong tree!

I started with:
SHEILA M I FLETCHER Stagename HOLT
1923–2011
BIRTH 14 JUL 1923 • ROMFORD, Essex
DEATH 15 OCT 2011 • ??? N2 district, London, England ???
Who married:
Patrick O'HANLON [dates unknown] married in MAR 1952 in HAMPSTEAD, London UK

supposed Father and mother:
Thomas TOM Colley Fletcher Hotel proprietor
1894–1961
BIRTH 8 DEC 1894 • 2a Bond Street, BURY, Lancashire, England
DEATH MAR 1961 • Billericay, BRENTWOOD, Essex, England ??? SPECULATIVE
=====
Lillian Gertrude BARNETT
1897–1987
BIRTH 19 MAR 1897 • PADDINGTON, London
DEATH DEC 1987 • Billericay, BRENTWOOD, Essex, England
=====
BROTHER to Sheila:
Kenneth KEN Colley FLETCHER
1925–1988
BIRTH JUN 1925 • ROMFORD, Essex, England
DEATH 4 FEB 1988 • of Beachburg, Ottawa, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

So I will now see if this Ken is on a Passenger list to Canada.

There is one family tree at Ancestry but it is very badly constructed and has few dates or places.

In Canada, do you have Naturalisation, border crossing, voter records, that might show this Ken FLETCHER from UK?
