Sorry, but I do not quite understand.
Do you mean he was born in London in 1888?
Where was he buried in 1965, in Portsmouth?
When does Canada come in?
Thanks.

Len, if he was born in Canada then it would be a good idea to edit your message to say from Canada (not Portsea).

That way, someone with access to Canadian records may be able to find out info.

Edit - Len has a comprehensive and well researched tree on Ancestry.
Could you be specific about what you're trying to find?

Have you got the marriage certificate for information about his Father?

where's Len gone?

Presumably they were in Canada 1871 and 1881?

BARTLETT, Elizabeth Wife Married 27 years F 65 1846 Hants Landport

Married 27 years, so 1883/1884, so still here separately in 1881 pre-marriage, or married in Canada?
