Partially answered re death
Seems like ServiceOntario is the only government-authorized source for Ontario death certificates.

Problem is below highlighted
I cannot specify a death year range. To me its anytime after 1940 and I dont want to pay repeat $15 for every 5 years > Any ideas to narrow down


ServiceOntario Website says
Order a death search
You can request a search if you do not know the exact date of death.

A search will verify that the death has taken place and has been registered with the province of Ontario.

You will receive a letter in the mail giving you information that matches the criteria within the years you searched. If no information is found you will still receive a letter stating that no information was found. Applicants can provide a range of years to be searched or a specific year[/i] .If a specific year is provided a five year search will be conducted – two years prior and two years after the year specified. Applicants may request searches for longer periods of time at an additional fee of $15 for every five year interval searched.

To request a search you can use the same online service as a death certificate application but you will select the search option and indicate how many years to search.

Hi All
Now established that Great Uncle Joseph William Robinson born 1904, Aston Birmingham, went to Canada on the Antonia ship in June 1922 as a British Home Child 
Worked on farm in Tottenham, Simcoe, Ontario for a Thomas Best from 1923 (http://heritage.canadiana.ca/.../oocihm.lac_reel.../2675...) to at least 1940 (1940 National Registration - similar to the 1939 English& Wels register pre WW2).
I know he was single and he intimated he wanted training as a radio operator in said 1940 registration possibly in lieu of joining the Army. 
So some questions: what records available to prove
* if he joined Army?
* if yes:
** Did he return to Canada after WW2?
** Did he die in Canada
** Does a Best farm still exist in Tottenham, Simcoe, Ontario

Any assistance gratefully accepted

Some additional info in earlier posts

Regards
Martin

There is a newspaper article Cambridge Chronicle and Journal 28 March 1840 about the estate of William Robinson the elder of Great Shelford which mentions a David Robinson so that is probably the one age 68.

Are you sure that the 1822 marriage to Sarah White wasn't the same William who married Mary Ann Sheldrick  :-\

Do you link to the newspaper article?..

I am not sure that the newspaper article is relevant.  Pauline & I were working off the information you originally gave with a marriage date of 1837 when it should have been 1847.

My GG grandfather was born in 1822 to GGG Grand father  William Robinson and Sarah White.

However I've just found a William a widower with father named William also marrying a Mary Ann Sheldrick in 1837.

Rosie
1837 and 1847 marriages are different Williams
1837 is second marriage for William the elder to Mary annSheldrick
1847 is marriage of his son William born 1922

1851 - HO107
H0107/1760 f713 p28
Harriet Eliz Robinson 25 Widow
Sarah Ann Petts 15 sister
Susan Sarah Robinson 1
John Pets Robinson 3 weeks

Possible death of father William
ROBINSON, WILLIAM       age 27     1851  March Quarter in CAMBRIDGE  Volume 14  Page 9

As you do not have William on census with place of birth how do you know that you have the correct one ie born 1822 Eversdon.  Do you have the marriage between William & Harriet, what details does it give for him and his father

I'll go back thru my records but 100% William who marries Harriet is the 1822 birth. Will add that his sister Edith & husband Robert Sheldrick are in 1881 census with Susan Sarah and her husband Albert Brown
