Canadian records

    I have an Irish couple married in Dublin in the 1950's. They emigrated shortly after marriage and died in Canada in the 1990's. I have never found the bride's Irish birth record. Just wondered what Canadian records would require an immigrant's date of birth that I could chase up. If anyone has any ideas I would welcome them.

    Her death record would have her age or approx age just like an Irish cert.

    If she died in the 1990s, it almost certainly has the exact date.

    Thank you. Online sites do not give any records as recent as this. Sorry if this is a stupid question but where do I apply for a recent Canadian death cert?

    Edit: As I am not a close relative I probably wouldn't be able to get it anyway.

    It's done by state. I commissioned a search in Ontario for my great-uncle's death. It cost a few Canadian dollars but did not yield an actual cert - I just got a letter saying "here's the date"! This was actually fine for my purposes because we knew how he died, just not exactly when.

    Check the Canadian Library & Archives site for further details.

    :eek:

    <cough> province <cough>

    Sorry, but nothing worse to raise the ire of a Canadian than by calling our provinces 'states'. :)
