My canadian grandad

[Sarah Reed]

Hi Paul ,


I have found out that Eric was born in Toronto. I have also rang the registry people there and because of red tape and with me not being next of kin they won't give out the information that i require.
The lady that i spoke to did give me an address for the vital statistic place for me to ask them for help. But when i looked at the website it says don't write to them as they don't do researchs and also they only go up to 1910 where as i want 1918.
Because i was so young when Eric died i Dont know if he did have any siblings.
When i spoke to someone in the family they said that a relative Of Eric's had killed his wife and children then himself , this i think happened quite recently.
I still need to find out what regiment he was in and that is where i have got stuck as the web sites dont give out alot of information unless you know what you are looking for.
going back to the registry office apparently in ten years time the information that i require will become available with out all the red tape because he would have been born over 100 yrs ago and it then becomes public knowledge.
