Hi,

I don't think he died in Quebec. His obituary says "of Ste 8, Frontenac apts."

There seems to be some confusion regarding dates?

Amberella gave a death date for William of 3 July 1931 with burial in Hamilton Ontario. The obit they asked for was for 9 Feb 1931 which seems clearly 6 months prior to the original quoted death date? And also a different burial location?

Just wondering.

The reading of the fist obit doesn't match - saying he arrived from Dumfries Scotland in 1917 - yet this family were in Canada in 1910, showing 1911 census.

Yet all the names mentioned in both obits are buried Brookside Cemetery which is Winnipeg.

No mention of "H" - Hughes for a middle name.

He could be this chap..........

William Clark - Birth Date 28 Apr 1868 Kirkcowan,Wigtown,Scotland
Father William Clark - Mother Jane Johnston.

Perhaps not the William Hughes Clark the poster is looking for.

Thank you SO much everyone for the links!!  You're NOT going to believe it though -NONE of those are "my" William (Hughes) Clark!! I'm just shaking my head in disbelief!!   All I want to know is William Hughe's  cause of death!!  After coming over from England, he only lived in Ontario in the New Delphi (Norfolk County) area & b/c the 1931 census isn't going to be released for some time, I can't check WHEN he moved from New Delphi to Montreal!!  There's family history of Alzheimers & severe depression & I'm trying to trace through the ancestors for signs of how prevalent they are.

Have quite a few ancestors who committed suicide or who were committed to asylums in one case being described as "lunatic for 45 years"!  THIS is even though them man was trained as a tailor & lived with his parents until THEY died which is why I suspect some form of bipolar/schizophrenia.  And the ancestor who died of "senile decay"?? THAT is definitelyAlzheimer disease Victorian style!!

Thank you to Sandra for reminding me of the links I put up to the William Hughes Clark family Bible. I had forgotten I had posted them! I seem be the only one interest in this branch of the family though which is unfortunate. I'm not sure how many genealogists actually have in their grubby little hands the family Bibelot those you're researching nor the luck to have ancestors who HOARDED & passed everything down the generations!

Thank you SO much to everyone b/c you've helped eliminate some of the rabbit holes I might have gone down in my genealogical searches!! Been there, done that & absolutely NO fun!!
