Hello. I am looking for the death date and final resting place of James Aberdeen Stafford (4/12/1899 - ?). His dad's name was John A. (maybe Aberdeen?) Stafford and they lived in Marysville, Fredericton, New Brunswick in 1918. I have not been able to find any other information on James besides his military service during WWI with the Canadian Engineers.

Did he survive WWI?
-
Yes.

Found a 1932 Stafford death announcement which mentions United Church of Canada Cemetery- perhaps a connection?

There is an online family tree that shows James Aberdeen s/o John Arthur Stafford and Mary Elizabeth McCarroll with a birth of 12 Mar 1899 Marysville and a death of 06 Nov 1965 in Mexico, Oxford, Maine, USA. Marriage to Blance Rodgerson (no children shown) who was born in 1903 in Mexico, Oxford, Maine and died 20 May 1985 in Maine.
There is a border crossing for James A. Feb 1918 from Canada to the USA at Vanceboro, Maine
