Hi Sandra, the trees on Ancestry give a couple of possibilities for his parents and it may be worthwhile making contact to find their proof. As a thought if he committed suicide he probably was not buried in a churchyard so will not show up in the church records. The coroners inquest papers may reveal detail of burial arrangements. Whether ESRO has a copy or the National Archives at Kew I’m not sure, maybe an online search of Kew will give you the answer. Regards, vic, also in Canada.
