I have a date of birth on a Candian death certificate for Leonard Whitfield Senior.
Birth -22 August 1924 - Ontario
Death - 12 September 1988 - Vancouver

Census 1931 for York - Ontario with father, Welsey Senior, wife / family 2 sons

1. Leonard age 7 ..... ( death certificate shows born 22 august 1924 )
2. James aged 9 ..... ( not known )

I cannot finds a birth/baptism for either sons under these names.

Can they be adopted so registered under a different name ?
thanks for any advice

Lenard's birth (and James's) is too recent to be online.

(Name spelled Lenard in 1931 and at death.)

Ontario births are online only to 1917.

Click on the link to ServiceOntario ,on that page, to see info re ordering a later birth cert. - but you need to be "next of kin, executor or estate administrator".
