Hi, How old was George ABERY when he passed away Jan 12 1871? His birth date/ year.
From Ontario Cemetery Finding Aid:
ABERY, George
Cataraqui Burial Register Volume I (1853-1875) Frontenac Kingston KG-99-6
From my experience -20 years. Obituaries very seldom mention the names of the parents - unless the deceased is a child. There are times when an obituary will - give a history for the deceased - and may mention the parents accomplishments interests etc - names and locations of family at the time.
There may be a Registration of Death - don't know what information early Civil Registrations might contain - later ones mention names of parents if known to Informant.
