Tom, there is another site you may be interested in ... Ontario Cemetery Finding Aid ... there are quite a few Gunters on there in the Hastings / Northumberland area. We are visiting that area in late summer if you need help.

Birth records are private in Ontario for 100 y, marrs for 85 y. Death records are public, but there's no index published for 70 y, so unless you already know the details you need for an order, it's prohibitively expensive to pay for all the searches you might need.

Ive had George Gunter and Florence Norcups marriage cert. through the post today and it confirms the connection.

Are there birth records available for Ontario, Canada in the 1940s and beyond? I know of one child Dorwan born in 1947

I think this could be the same family alviegal!

Allotment - my Broughtons are orginally from Shropshire, then moved to manchester and later to cheshire. Perhaps so far back there is a connection there.
I couldnt find a birth for a george t gunter in the uk, so this may well be the right people.

Thanks for your help everyone,

Tom

Hi, has anyone go access to canadia bmd records?
Geroge T Gunter and Florence K Norcup married in 1946 Lancashire, England, i think they emmigrated to canada, and wondered if there is any death records or records of children. They had a son called Dorwan born 1947, would someone be able to search for this birth?

Hope you can help,

Tom
