Cemetery lookup in BC - Darnley or Honey??

Seeking to find grave of John Harrison Shaw - went by the name Harrison - born PEI died fairly old maybe around 1982 Not sure whom he married - was in Canadian Army Overseas Expeditionary Force - his army papers say he was born May 10, 1890 but he was bapt in PEI June 26, 1889 in O'Leary - so must be born May 10, 1889...my best guess. Harrison was in the 50th Gordon Highlanders - don't think he has any surviving children - as found letters in family pile saying "her uncle".....before he died...

Father Malcom Shaw - mother Eliza A Beer - step mom Louisa Morseshed

The writing i have looks like it might say Darnley? or Honey or something like that.....

Have a look at the BC Vital Events Death Registration Index: http://search.bcarchives.gov.bc.ca/sn-7CBF31/gbsearch/Deaths

There was a John Harrison Shaw died at Haney, B.C. in 1983:

If you'd like me to look at the registration form for you & then check the cemetery, just let me know. The microfilm copies of vital event registrations are available at some B.C. libraries for the photocopying.

Thanking you so much for this information. I would love to have any other info you can find on John in BC, from census records, to death records to knowing if he received a military grave.

I have lost track of the address of his relations and believe he was never married but died of old age at the home of his niece.

I am so very thank ful for the information you have given me -
