I am looking for any information on William Matthew Howes, born 30/08/1901 in Shanghai, China. I think he could have been known as Bill. |

His death? |

Thank you for your quick response. I am not sure of this as I would need to know if he ever returned from Canada but it certainly is a possibility. |

There are no births of a William M Howes in England or Wales in 1901 so it is almost certain he came into the country at some point |

It has to be him with an identical DOB! I would get the cert and see who registered the death. |

Yes, then maybe this could be them. I will get the death certificate and see from that. |

In response to finding out about his life in Canada, my inclination would be to get the death cert first. If you can confirm the above marriage (or another one!) then it might be possible to find descendants. I think there is a likely son to the above couple, but of course you need to establish a bit more first. Unless you are feeling flush and get that cert anyway! |
