Find Ancestors

Trying to find information on my grandfather. He was born in Ontario. I believe his father's name was Charles who had emigrated from Scotland and settled in Chesley Ontario. My grandfather was married to Vera George who died when my dad was about 14. My dad's DOB is 12/19/27. William went to England and remarried and died over in England about late 1950's. He was around 60 possibly. I would like to know where he is buried.
Thank you,
Bette-ann

The only William K I can find died 1960 in Thanet Kent aged 57, this may be him. Try [email protected] another very helpful group, they may be able to tell you one way or the other
Good luck.
