As part of my researching I have found lots of information on John Henry Wesson and his life in Canada. I also have the reports from the local newspapers here. I know she is in an unmarked grave and it appears that as would have been common at the time her death would have been hidden away. But I still wonder why after just such a few days !!!

Hello bbart

Thank you for message.

You have confirmed that in reality it does not seem to be viable to pursue trying to obtain a death certificate, you are the first person since I have been searching to say Saskatchewan has “very strict rules”. From this I’m assuming each state has different rules?

My great aunt was Nellie Wesson., wife of John Henry Wesson.

We have always been led to believe she took her own life, hence my reason for trying to find out more. It is a very sad tale, she married here in England on 5 April 1911 before travelling to Canada arriving in Halifax on 22 April 1911. She died on 3 May 1911, less than two weeks after arriving.

If you think there might have been anything reported at the time that could be found then it would be of real interest.

Thank you

Hello Jeff

Many thanks for your reply.

I seem to be going round in  circles with trying to get a copy of this certificate.

I have approached Saskatchewan E health and received the following as my course of action.

“”

Genealogy

eHealth Saskatchewan registers births, deaths, marriages and stillbirths that occur in the province.

You can search eHealth's Genealogy Index at no cost for:

Births registered in Saskatchewan more than 100 years ago
Deaths registered in Saskatchewan more than 70 years ago
Marriages registered in Saskatchewan more than 75 years ago
Or you can request a genealogical copy of a registration by applying online or by completing the appropriate Birth, Stillbirth, Marriage or Death application forms.

Copies of these original records can be ordered for genealogy purposes.

All vital events are registered individually and no cross-references are made between events to establish family relationships.

Please note that the genealogical copy of a death registration does not include cause of death. Information regarding eligibility for cause of death can be found here. 

Genealogical Copies are usually processed within six to eight weeks of eHealth receiving your application. This does not include mailing time.
To avoid delays, please ensure identification is included with your application.
                                                                                                                                “”



It appears to be quite strict criteria required regarding eligibility for cause of death, and at a cost of 55 CD.

I have also messaged the Saskatchewan Genealogical Society twice for advice but have not received any response.

Can you expand on a “long copy” in relation to the above please.

All help is gratefully received.

Regards Kcop.

Canada / Saskatchewan Death Certificate
« on: Friday 15 November 24 14:30 GMT (UK)  »
I have been researching a Great Aunt who emigrated to Saskatchewan in 1911.

She died on 3 May 1911 and is buried in Forest Bank Cemertery, near Maidstone.

I have found a record of her death through the Genealogy Index on Saskatchewan Ehealth but really would like to establish the cause of death. I understand this should be done by a separate application but would like to know how likely am I to meet the criteria required. Is it practical to pursue this bearing in mind the cost factor involved.
Any advice will be appreciated.
