Hello,
Was wondering if any members like in/around Montreal, QC and could go to the national archives there and find an obituary for me in the above paper. Willing to pay if necessary.
Thanks

Also if you could give us a name, we might be able to find the church burial entry.

Okay, here we go. He was buried from Notre Dame Basilica in downtown Montreal, and the burial record reads (translated from French):
The 30th September 1914 we the undersigned priest have buried in the cemetery of this parish the body of Dennis Sullivan, day-labourer, widower of Catherine Rae, deceased the 27th of the current month at the age of 65, of the parish of Ste Anne. Witnesses Francois Desmarchais and Lindsay Crochetiere both clerks.
He would have been buried here...it's a Catholic cemetery.

Thanks, thats definitely him, although whoever reported his age is a bit off I imagine, as his marriage record I have for him in Ireland shows him being married in 1859 which would make him 10 years old at the time! haha
