Taliesin Jones born abt 1913, Wales
« on: Friday 26 July 13 14:32 BST (UK) »
Hello - I am trying to do some research for an elderly relative who is trying to find out what happened to an inspirational english teacher he had in Wales in the late 30s and early 40s. Taliesin Jones was born in Wales but after joining the Royal Air Force in abt 1941 was posted to Ontario, possibly Guelph as he married, in 1944, a Canadian girl who lived near there, Erna Hauch, from Waterloo. In 1946 he was living in Chesley Ontario - perhaps teaching there? We heard he had died in a car crash not long after that. Can anyone help, or do a look up?
Thank you for reading this,

Here is a link to the Guelph Public Library, you could ask them to do a search of the Guelph Mercury to see if it was in the newspaper

Canada has strict privacy laws which vary somewhat from province to province.  In Ontario, deaths less than about 70 years ago are restricted.
However, the Ontario Cemetery Finding Aid does have Taliesin Jones (h/o Erna E. Hauch) buried at Chesley Cemetery, Elderslie Township, Bruce County, Ontario.

No date is given but if you contact the cemetery or a local genealogical society, you may be able to get a date of death.
