or a "Certified Photographic Print of the Registration of Death" which usually gives more information than that fancy Certificate.

Peter, Your information is Greatly Apprecated! I will be using the links that you provided. Stella and Allison McHUGH also had a daughter by the name of Velma, who's married name is KENYON whom I belive lived in this area that I haven't had any luck at all in locating information. Keep up the good work! Ron

Some 30 Kenyon listed in the Master Index but no Velma.

Also 87 Kenyon online at "canada411" and also no Velma.

Get the AGS Research Servises Committee to check for an obit for Stella and Allison and check the Henderson Edmonton City Directory.

Hi Ron,

I am related to the family, though mostly know about the Ontario branches. Stella was born 9 Mar 1890 in Thessalon, Algoma District, Ontario and she was the 2nd cousin of my great grandfather, Arthur David Wright. If you are interested in comparing notes, or seeing any family photos I have, please let me know. Also, if you have any family photos, I would love to see them. I am particularly interested in a photo of Clark Wright, who, as you have said, was killed at Festubert, in WW1.
Thanks, Ann
