Hello All, My name is Roma Chatt (nee SNELL) , I live in Chelmsford, UK. My Great Uncle Tom was always talking about his time in Canada where he worked for a short while as a teenager with his two older brothers Richard (Dick) & Robert (Bob) . Whilst in Canada his brother Richard died and their distraught mother back in England begged the two remaining brothers to return home which they did. I have at last after many years managed to obtain the death certificate details of Richard and am hoping now to discover his burial place. The details I have are as follows: Richard SNELL died on 19 April 1925 place of death is given as Stop 28, Kingston Head. (He was a deckhand with Ontario Carferry co) his brother was the informant & gave his addresses as Summit Rod, Scarboro (I believe this is also the address of where Richard & Tom would have been living) The undertaker was Mr Brown of 1491 Danforth Avenue Place of Burial is just given as Toronto. Going on the above information would anyone hazard a guess as to which cemetery Richard would have been buried in? Or even a list of cemeteries I could contact? I would be extremely grateful for any help at all. Many thanks from Roma --------------------------------- ALL-NEW Yahoo! Messenger - all new features - even more fun!
