Searching for Obituary for Henry [Harry] Vanluven born 1892 in Collingwood On and died 1911-12-13 in Brethour Township, Nippissing. Son of William Henry Vanluven and Matilda Smith.
I have been unable to find his birth or death registrations on Ancestry or Family Search.
He is on the 1911 census living on Brethour Township--I think in the town of New Liskeard.

I couldn't find a death registration either for Henry Vanluven.
On 1911 census their 'address' is given as North 1/2 Lot 6,Concession 3.
There is one Vanluven grave in New Liskeard Cemetery - Clifford Vanluven 1929-1991 and his wife Audrey L Barney 1933-1983.
No Vanluven in Brethour Public Cemetery or Belle Vallee Cemetery in Brethour.
Even if there was no headstone, the cemetery should have a record of a burial.
This site will have addresses for the cemeteries.

William Henry and Matilda are buried in Union Cemetery Stayner Ont. Maybe Henry is there too.

On a family tree on ancestry.ca it says that Henry died of Bright's disease, 1912, at age 20. Information given by sister Mildred.
Records from the north were a bit sporadic as the returns only happened when a government agent came around to collect them.

Thank you both for replying. I think Henry probably died in 1911 and there are no records on Ancestry for that year. Perhaps a trip to the Archives Ontario would be in order. I also have found many times the name Vanluven has been transcribed incorrectly.
I presumed Henry died "up north", because his parents were still living there in 1921. I will check the cemeteries out.
