Philip Apart from age as suggested below, what other info is on the death certificate? I have seen a few from Vancouver B.C. and they all had names of parents, and parent's birthplace, listed on them, which allowed me to verify I had the right person. However sometimes the info is not 100% correct, relatives who registered the death might not have known the exact names of James's parents, or may have assumed they were from Orkney when they were not!
