Hi

I recently requested a death certificate from Manitoba Vital Stats for a great uncle who died in Winnipeg in 1937. I received the certificate today and was a bit disappointed to find there was no more information than what you see free of charge. Is there another form of certificate that would give me the cause of death. I ordered a certificate several years back and there was a lot of information on it. In Scotland our certificates indicate cause of death, parents and who registered death. Also address.

Any help with finding the cause of death of my relation would be much appreciated. He was only 37 years old.

Thanks
Betty

Sorry about the spelling. I took it from the death extract from SP but thanks for noting it.

I expect there will be the 100 year rule for information from a hospital but thought I would try.

If there is no burial the most helpful people would be the undertakers. I wonder if that is the way to go but that could be again a long shot. When someone dies in hospital is there always a funeral home involved. Might be an odd question but I never thought of it before.

Thanks Carol for your reply. My query is very much a long shot. He did not have a Will. He did have a son and that side of the family have been traced but no record of burial place if any.

Thanks
Betty

This is a bit of a long shot but thought I would give it a go. I have the death extract from SP on an ancestor who died in 1952 at Queensberry House, Cannongate. I am trying to find where he is buried or perhaps cremated. Can anyone give me any suggestions as to how I might find this. Can one access the records for Queensberry House for 1952.

I have tried the usual route of Find a Grave and Billion Graves. I have also looked at newspaper deaths to see if I could find who the undertakers were.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
