I have found 2 articles from the Washington Post: 7 Aug 1913: man is found dead in the canal. age 50 - 55 3 Aug 1915: man found Aug 6, 1913 in canal is identified as William H Campbell and the coroner issued a death certificate. He had been reported missing a number of times. Two year later!!!! Eeek!!! I want to determine if he is the William H Campbell, born 1860, husband of Alice, father of Rosetta and William H. In 1910 he is the head of household with his wife and 2 children. In 1920, Alice is head of household and shown as married but no husband is listed. It fits well, but.... Does anyone know if death certificates at that time would show his wife's name? I think that is easier if it will since I can get those through my FHC. Or should I try to get a coroner's report? Thank you, Brenda Haines City, FL
The DC death certificates I have seen (about 1912 and 1918) do not show the spouse or any other relative (including parents for a minor). I still don't have completely absolute evidence to show that the Charles F. Robinson I've located is REALLY my g-grandfather.
