Find Ancestors

Hello Sue,

My son lives near Bristol, and the fact that you have military records is a great help. Have you thought about coming over to England at all? Good luck.

Okay, I found that. I can't even see what you guys are seeing on the death record, other than Ottawa, Ontario, presumably Canada. That's one crap copy. No, wiat, I'll shift it to my good monitor; I always forget this one is too dim. Also, original scan rather than enhanced.

So the last three letters on the line above are "ing".

The Ministry ...
British ...
Canadian ... ing
Ottawa, Ontario, I assume Canada

dod August 19, 1946
cause of death: Myocardial infarction - Coronary occlusion (arteriosclerotic heart disease)
place of death: ... Military Hospital, Ottawa

Address is

Spruce St -- possibly no. 22?
Ottawa, Can.

That's consistent with his address on enrolment in the CEF in WWI (Booth St, Ottawa - see on google maps; same neighbourhood)

So that didn't add much ...

What I've run across is a reference to someone who could possibly have been a child of Leslie Richardson, so we'll see whether Sue thinks that might pan out.



I wonder whether there's any chance the family first went to Nova Scotia -- Arthur's military record shows him there in 1898 to 1904.

And if so, whether this might be the marriage of George Cecil in Nova Scotia:

Lydia L. Sawler and George C. Richardson
married 1914 in Lunenburg County

from search here:

But no. I installed their viewer and looked. He was George Clarence Richardson.


Unfortunately, the military record does indicate that Arthur was "Home" from 1909 to 21 May 1911, therefore not in the 1911 Cdn census.

Nothing more from this end ...

Sue and LfW -- I still don't know what you guys are looking at! --

"Helen Jessie died 1896 (see military record) and I think it says Arthur died ??? Military Hospital, Ottawa and dod August 19 1946"

Can you point me? I might be able to make something of it.

There are more Cecil Richardsons than one might imagine!

You're not thinking of this Brig Gen, are you? --

That one is in the US, and wouldn't be yours. When you say the War Office, you mean he was in the UK?


I've PMed you some stuff because it's about living people -- a possible connection to Leslie.

Hi Kathryn B and Ethel

Sorry Kathryn that is all i have on the family.Yes i think they stayed in Canada .I see you have the same privacy laws as Australia.I know my Grandmother went to see them in the 40's.A family member has written to me that Edith married a Army Captain,George know as Cecil was a brigadier in the Was Office and wrote a book on something to do with the army,Hilary married a Dr in Canada and no info on Leslie.

Hi Ethel thanks for that haven't ordered Arthur's birth cert yet but will do in the near future.

Sue:)

Hi Sue. Just to add to the details you have already been given.
I think the parents of Arthur, ie:- George E and Mary A married 1866. Oct/Dec Qtr. reg in Bristol. Her name was Hallard. vol 6a page 2. You can confirm or deny this with Arthur's birth certificate which will give you Mums maiden name.
Hope this helps. Ethel..

The 1901 and 1911 censuses are available at

I checked 1911 at Ancestry, which has a better search function, but don't see them.

Hi Sue - Canada here.

I can't tell what you're looking at for the death. The thing I see at Ancestry is his WWI CEF enrolment form.

(That's available free at a Cdn govt website, just for anyone interested:
http://www.collectionscanada.ca/archivianet/cef/001042-100.01-e.html)

He was living in Ottawa at the time he enrolled. Ottawa is the capital of Canada, you'll remember.

Where is the death record?

On a quick search of Ontario marriage records at Ancestry, don't see any Richardsons with father Arthur up to 1924, the last date available because of privacy legislation. No births are available after 1906, same reason.

I've got some stuff I have to get done today but after hours I'll have a look for you if you give me some more pointers.

Unfortunately, you probably fall into the usual black hole -- your Richardson children, if they were in Canada, would have been having children and dying, and their children marrying and having children, during the decades when records are not available. The links to connect them with anybody living today just aren't accessible.

Hi Lfw

Thanks for that will go and have a look but think i will need a lot of luck with this lot.lol

Cheers Sue:)

Hi lfw

Thanks for looking that up for me.I did have the information.Had not picked up on the 1871 census though and had forgotten to put Helen J death on my records.
I was hoping for something from them in Canada.

Sue
