Looking for burial location for Kirby Austin b. 28 Aug 1924 d. 12 Jun 2008. Marjorie Irene (Brook) Austin b. 30 Dec 1929 d. 21 Dec 2000. Both lived & died in Huntsville ON. Kirby from Novar ON and Marjorie from Etwell ON. I have checked with Huntsville cemeteries and they tell me they have no record of them there. I have information for all Austins in Perry Twp, which includes Novar, and they are not there. I checked for Etwell Twp and it appears there is only a very small cemetery there, probably no longer active. Their children were baptised in St. Andrews/Novar United Church. Marjorie's parents who lived in Etwell for a very long time are buried in Hutcheson Memorial Cemty in Huntsville. Kirby's parents are buried in St. Andrews/Novar United Church Cemty. I have their obituaries but neither says where they were being interred. Anyone know anything about this?

I am trying to find out more about my grandmother Beverly. She was adopted and so researching her family history has been a hassle. I assume because adoption papers are protected of course. Her and my Grandpa Ray had three children together (Luke, Joe and Rebecca). My Grandparents separated sometime between 1962-1967. I am trying to find either a wedding certificate or divorce certificate for them. I have an ancestrydna account and I've been able to trace the Pascall side of the family back to my 7 times Great Grandparents. They're from England and Ireland. However, I can't seem to do any more research on my Grandma Beverly's side because I do not know her biological parents last name.

Does a transcription exist for Lakeview Cemetery in Gravenhurst? If so, could somebody possibly do a look-up for me, for George Russell, b. 1830, d. Jan 25, 1923, husband of Eliza Reid. Thanks!
