    1. Re: Death registration for Dorothy A. Fox
    2. Dee, if you go to the cemetery, you can find out the exact date of her death (and burial), and armed with that, you can order a death certificate - if that is what you are after. Depending on the cemetery, you might be able to get the information over the phone if they aren't busy and are feeling indulgent. Not much info is on the actual certificate, and you have to pay for it. Sometimes the cemetery records will have cause of death, and other tidbits. Local newspapers may have the notice obits as well - talk to your local library about sources for Cobourg newspaper archives. If you just want to see the registration information see here about how to go about it http://www.archives.gov.on.ca/english/interloan/v-dintro.htm Sites like Ancestry don't have info on Ontario deaths after 1934. Incidentally, for whatever reason, not all deaths get properly registered. My mother died in the 1970's in a major hospital in Toronto, and her death was never legally registered for some reason. After my father died, I had to get proof of death certificates for her from the funeral home for estate purposes, since the lawyers discovered there was no registration for her. Mary G.
