Please help! Birth certificate request

[Nekm88]

Hi there,

I have recently discovered that my great grandfathers name is Malcolm
Smith born in Toronto around 1902.
Would anyone with access to Canadian birth records please check this out for me? Details of parents would be most helpful!

Thanks so much in advance

See the date on the UK 1939 register was 16 October 1902, this might help the search.

Do you know if he was living in Canada in 1911, please?  Do you know the name of his wife (if he in fact did marry, in Ontario)?  A Malcolm Alexander Smith was born in 1904 in Toronto; perhaps he was your ancestor.

Added: Sandra’s referenced website might also have Ontario birth and marriage records.

Added again:  If he left Canada at a young age, family could have mentioned Toronto as his birthplace rather than a smaller, lesser known neighbouring town.

Malcom Alexander Smith, born August 9, 1904, York, Ontario.  Parents: Malcom Smith, Mary MacDonald.

It looks like this man remained in Canada (or came back) until at least the time of his marriage, in 1935.

Thanks so much for your replies.

Unfortunately, that is all the information I know of. This has only came to light having received a case file from when my grandmother and her mother were resident in the victor home for girls. My grandmother never knew her father as they were deported back to Ireland when she was 6 weeks old. 

I can’t seem to get the link to work for the family search site

Malcolm Alexander Smith appears to have remained in Canada as he passed away in 1976 and was buried in Toronto.

Without mentioning names of living people, did family possibly use a (Irish/Scottish) naming pattern?

Thank you Sandra, I have registered but can’t find the birth date of 16th Oct 1902 for Malcolm Smith.

Lisa, my mother has very high Scottish ancestry through dna. I’m presuming Malcolm Smith was maybe born to parents who had originally came from Scotland.
