Does Michael's death certificate give his parents' names or a more precise place of birth? On the 1881 Canadian are they Protestant or Catholic? Did the local newspaper where they lived when he died run an obituary? I don't research Canada or Ireland, but I understand Canadian Archives are excellent. Also try http://www.worldgenweb.org/ and select Canada. HTH Cheryl
Dee, you may have a challenge with Michael Fox as he was apparently born in Ireland, and as you may know, there was a catastrophic fire in 1922 that destroyed the Four Courts building in Dublin where many records were kept. It destroyed most of the the nineteenth century census returns, Church of Ireland parish records and the collection of wills. The fire made it a big challenge to trace ancestors who came from Ireland in the 19th century - particularly protestant denomination ancestors. I've got quite a few whose trail deadends at the point they hit Canada - i.e. can't find their parents names etc., when they were married etc. Mary G.
