Hi Good Morning
Am trying to find Burial of Charles Marsh Doxsey residing in Ontario born England 1892.
Death and burial would be after 1952 but appreciate this is a wide margin.
Also looking for marriage of his son David Marsh Doxsey born Canada 1923 and residing there. Marriage would be around 1947
Thanks for trying.
Regards
MJB

In case it helps in the search. Anc tree says Charles Marsh Doxsey died 22 August 1982 Montreal.
Canada Voters List 1963 - Charles Marsh Doxsey & Mrs Charles Doxsey - Apt 302 Bonavista Avenue, Notre-Dame-de-Grâce. Montreal. Quebec. Charles Occupation :- Int Decorator.
Have you tried Westmount Public Library to see if they could help with an Obituary for Charles. If they can't, perhaps they would suggest someone who could ?

Think that divorce was Tuesday 2nd February 1937

It looks like the sister of Charles Marsh Doxsey - Janet Marsh Doxsey died in Montreal 27 January 1948 so maybe a family plot somewhere ?

Canada Voters List 1940 lists Miss J Doxsey - Teacher - 4046 Grand Boulevard - Mount Royal District - Montreal

Sad to find young David (15 June 1930) but he did seem to disappear after those 1928 passenger lists. :'(

May Evelyn (30 August 1981) must be the wife of Charles Marsh Doxsey -

Not sure if John Beverley Doxsey is connected.

And me and I was thinking the same as you Sandra thought it was funny how he never appeared with his mother as normally when the parent's split its usually the mother that has them...Well done Priscilla

Gosh, wow you have been busy.
Many many thanks to you all.
Charles Marsh certainly lived to a ripe old age and yes it is a great pity about David Doxsey, I have finding these young lives gone.
I did think may be he was lost in the war but now proved wrong.
I have Janet Marsh info but don't know who John Beverley was but keeping an open mind.
Many thanks again

You may also like to Google the following:-
"Search for the Doxsey family at The Genealogist.co.uk"
Looks as though Janet Marsh Doxsey had a sister / relative Gladys Marsh Doxsey born in Middlesex in 1887 and who died in 1889 in Middlesex. Gladys would not have appeared on a Census unfortunately. Am thinking that the given name of 'Marsh' is significant ...

Looks like you are really into this.
Yes got all the Doxsey stuff in England as that is where I am from and the Marsh connection is just via a surname married into Doxsey family.
Thank you for the information however on Charles and May.
