Help with deciphering birthplace
« on: Saturday 02 July 22 04:01 BST (UK) »
Hello!

I am having trouble deciphering this birthplace to an actual location in Canada.  I can only come up with "Osawagen, Canada," but that doesn't seem to exist.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you!

Is the father an Edward A Andrews?  Maybe you could give us more information about the  person (age, etc.) and we could see if we could find the birth.

Thank you Gadget and ShaunJ for the help!  I will have to explore those places to see if I can find a match with census records.

Any help would be great if you are able to help find a birthplace for his father, Edward Andrews (I am not fully confident about the "A").  I've attached the full death certificate (where the original text was lifted from).  Thank you very much!
