Peter,
Thanks for the information. I have obtained some further information from the local hopital who confirmed his date and cause of death. Now to find out where he lived and how he travelled to Canada.
I'd dropped this guy for the last year to concentrate on other members of his family who stayed in England. Turns out he wasn't the only one with a travel bug. His uncle emigrated to Australia but only made it as far a Canada then Illinois.
Regards,
Nick
