Ann, did your Hubert Pattison serve in WW1 in the Canadian army? There are attestation papers for Hubert, born 3 Dec. 1873, Newcastle onTyne. Next of kin Edward H. Pattison, 10 Langdale Rd., Liverpool. collectionscanada.ca/archivianet/cef/001042-100.01-e.html He enlisted at Montreal, Aug.20,1915 Margaret Update, this silly site wouldn't allow me to put the address in with the www. because collections starts with the dreaded co. So add www. before the address.

Hi Margaret Great news have the photgraph of the head stone for john and julia, its fantastic hubbie relation's live in canada and they got the picture for me, and also copies of the newspaper where the death had been put in, so you can imagine how pleased am feeling, next one have to find is john's brother Hubert pattison who was living Montreal another chapter opens. Regards Ann

It's too bad that your Pattison family wasn't from Cornwall, Ontario, where I live. We have the most wonderful website called 'Cornwall roots'. Volunteers have photographed every gravestone in every cemetery in the area. They're all online and free. They're now working on all of the obituaries in the area. I just wish other communities had such a service. Margaret

Do you have this, Ann, from the Ontario Vitals? Vol 3, pg 198 - George MITCHELL, 25, harness maker, Ireland, Port Stanley, s/o Francis & Elizabeth, married Christiana Ann CAMPBELL, 18, Southwold, same, d/o John & Christena, witn: James CAMPBELL of Fingal, 14 Sept 1870 at Hutchinson House, St. Thomas

Hi Margaret I'll give that ago, thanks for your help Ann

There's another site, Ann, that you might not know about. It's Ontario Vital Statistics. You can find it by googling 'ontario vitals'. Unfortunately, like most Canadian records, you can't find anything as recent as the death you're looking for. Margaret

Hi Margaret Yes i managed to find them on 1911 census last night never knew about that web site thank you for that, It does look them in 1881 census as i know christina name was campbell before she married, trying to find a death for Jewell and her husband John William Pattison i have there marriage certificate but finding it hard to search for there deaths in canada Ontario any ideas? between 1950/1960 Thanks again Margaret Regards Ann
