My grandfather Harry Englefield born in 1907 in Reading Uk went to huntville near toronto for a holiday in Oct 1975 and sadly died whilst there. There was an inquest and he was cremated in Canada before his ashes were brought back to England with his daughter. I am trying to find his death registered so that I can obtain his death certificate but have come to a complete blank, searched on Genesreunited, ancestry.co.uk but nothing. Do they have a records office in Toronto that u can search online?

any help would be gratefully recieved

had a look and Consular records are there for that year says there is One result but i dont suscribe to that site so havent any units to view.

By the way when its say one found doesnt mean its that surname cos its only in the alpha range Eagle - EYRE to search

I think you can order the death certificate through this site:

Update: Yikes! I just looked at the price of them. Not cheap!

Great grandmother Dorothy Bean nee Abbott (1858-1908)
