Cemetery Records for Thomas CORBETT show that he passed away -in 1906 WHERE? Have you obtained the REGISTRATION of DEATH/Genealogical Registration of Death/ Long form Death Registration:? This will show all personal information required at the time - including names of parents, and mothers maiden name - All depends on the knowledge of the informant. Obtain the REGISTRATION - from the Vital Statistics Dept in the Province where he passed away. If you know where a marriage took place - the Vital Statistics Dept may have a Registration of Marriage - Long Form Marriage Certificate: **Registration contains all personal information required. **Certificate - is an extract of basic information taken from the Registration. Has only enough information to prove an event- without divulging other personal information - that is not required. Cemetery records will not hold all of the personal informatin about the deceased. Only what is required for their records. OBITUARY: May show names and locations of other family members . Not all Obituaries mention the names of parents - Not all show the place of birth.
