Greetings All
I was wondering if anyone going to the Collingwood library in the future might be able to do a look up for an obit i found on the CPL Obit Finder/Index. I would gladly return the favour for anything in the Niagara area.
The information is as follows from the Index Finder
Last Name: Campbell
First Name: Matthew
Middle Name/Initial: Henry
Maiden Name:
Date of Death: 00/00/1981 ***known date of death is 15 May 1981 burial Trinity United Church Cemetery*****

Matthew Henry CAMPBELL has become problematic, there is no birth the 80 year lady i am helping with this ancestor gave me a date of 11 Mar 1897 born Holland Township, Owen Sound, Ontario. I have searched 20 years either side of the date with zero results. Matthew Henry CAMPBELL does not appear on the 1911, 1921 census'
The earliest i find him is 1940 Voters List Simcoe North
Name: Matt Campbell
Occupation: Laborer
Year: 1940
Location: Simcoe, Ontario, Canada
Electoral District: Simcoe North
He "lived" with Elsie May ROBISON for approx 40 years and married in 1974.
The children from this union are:
Lawrence Henry "Lorne" Matthew Campbell
1934 – 1991
Joseph Walter Charles Campbell
Your brother
Birth 1938
Death 1990 in Collingwood, , Ontario, Canada
and the friend i am helping with her ancestors she is the sister to the above two names.
If anyone has any suggestions on how to approach this brick wall i would be most happy, funeral homes have been contacted, their is no driver's licence, there is virtually no paper trail that my friend has not sought out...having sorted out her paperwork since she started in 1992.


My Kindest Regards,
Noreen

Hi, Boirn 1897 . Do you know the names of the parents -Fathers name in Full - mothers namein full - including maiden name.
Not in 1911 Canada Census - he would be aprox 14 years old - Have you checked reversing names to Henry Matthew CAMPBELL
Have you searched other locations for Matthew Henry/ Henry Matthew CAMPBELL- perhaps at age 14 - he may be away from home - working

Have you searched Family Search Org - Online
https://familysearch.org/search

Provincial Archive - may hold information re births -
Govt of Ontario Vital Statistics Registry office - may hold the Registration of Birth -

PERHAPS - the Birth had not been Registered at the time -
There may be a Late Registration of Birth - filed - when Mathew Henry CAMPBELL - made application for his Govt .Old Age Pension

Married in 1974 - Registration of Marriage - Long Form Marriage Certificate
Will show age at the time of marriage - Names of both sets of parents - including maiden names of the mothers - [ if remembered]

Thank You so much for kick starting my brain, I have my friend sending for the long form of the marriage cert, patience being a strange bedfellow for me :-)
Your comments have validated my own thoughts.

Thank You so much
If i can ever return the favour please don't hesitate to contact me,

Warmest Regards,
Noreen
