I was also told that sometimes registrations were missed where there was an inquiry or coroner's report.

Archives Death Registration My uncle died in 1949, in an outdoor public swimming pool late at night, and his death registration was not to be found. I pestered both the vital statistics agency, and the B.C. Archives about it, thinking that maybe it didn't get put on the index. No one could find it, but they suggested that I search for a coroner's inquiry report since (if the story was true) he died under unusual circumstances. The B.C. Archives had the coroner's report, so everything turned out okay. I was able to verify that the story was true, and then some. Kathy ______________________________
