Find-a-Grave provides an image of the above death registration and goes on to tell that Charles was buried in Houston Cemetery, Houston, B.C. Actual gravestone not found and grave plot not known. The date of Charles' burial is shown as 27th February, 1948. At the time of his death, Charles is described as a pensioner. A friend supplied the available information for Charles' death registration and believed Charles' father to be born in Ireland (not quite, his grandfather was born in Ireland.) The friend did not know the names of Charles' parents. Thanks to Find-a-Grave members who have done excellent work. |
