Earliest deaths registered in Ontario that I can find are from 1869. See this site http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#p=collectionDetails&c= fs%3A1307826 Or this one http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~onvsr/deaths.htm Earliest for BC are 1872, see: http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#p=collectionDetails&c= fs%3A1538285 Check Manitoba deaths (more than 70 years ago) here http://vitalstats.gov.mb.ca/Query.php New Brunswick Vital Records http://archives.gnb.ca/APPS/GovRecs/VISSE/?culture=en-CA Not sure if any of these will help as deaths you are seeking may be too early. Best of luck Dixie
