Has Stairway altered her OP since you guys posted??


The OP says the guy died in 1998?

Researching:
My brother, photo taken in September 1991 just a couple of weeks before he died. ............................................................ To help us and to get better results, please post as much detail as you can, especially name, date(s) and place. Also say what you already know.

Stairway...

You could try the following site..

http://www.cmaj.ca..... adding 1978 (Canadian Medical Journal)

Its easier if you just put in what I have put below... because the above site brings up the abstracts of all that was in that particular year)

CMAJ 1978 Deaths or Obituaries whichever term you prefer...in a search engine

Are you sure there was one?

See if he is listed here
https://www.inmemoriam.ca/directory/province/bc-british-columbia/1/

If not, contact the most likely newspaper who may be able to find it in their Archive.
If his wife's mentions a funeral directors, contact them to ask if they were used for her husbands internment. They may still have a record if they were responsible of placing the obit.
How about a local library if you've some idea of where he lived?

Not too sure why you are concerned with Privacy. He died in 1978, she died in 8 years ago in 2007. If we were to find anything on-line, we'd post a hyperlink, not the article.

I am trying to find the full obituary for this man who was a Doctor in New Westminster. He died in 1998 I am a little reluctant to enter any more details here (privacy ) except to say his wife’s obituary was Published in The Vancouver Sun and The Province in 2007
Thank you
