Searching for Albert Green from Port Glasgow
« on: Tuesday 03 August 10 13:36 BST (UK) »
I am trying to find my uncle Albert Green who was born in Port Glasgow in 1928 to Albert Stuart Green and Sarah Green nee Kearney.  I know he emigrated to Canada, but that is all, I know that he died in Canada, he had an accident whilst tree felling and the tree killed him.  I know it is a small amount of information but I am desparate to try and find him.

Anybody have any ideas where I can start?

Hi Barrasford

A search on http://pilot.familysearch.org turns up a death in the Vernon district of British Columbia in 1968 for an Albert Joseph Green, with spouse M. Leach and parents Albert and Sarah.  This Albert Green was born June 9, 1928 in Scotland.  Perhaps this is your uncle?

If you like, I can check the death registration at the family history library for you but it won't be until next Saturday.

Cheers,
Susan

Evening all,

The BMDs are the jurisdiction of each province in Canada and each of them handle thier vitals differently. If your fella passed away in BC, this link http://www.bcarchives.gov.bc.ca/textual/governmt/vstats/v_events.htm may help you find out. Hope the helps,
