Nudging your own thread with no other message is not exactly polite………sorry to say, Laura

If that was your Charles on the 1974 Voters List, he obviously didn't die until 1974 or later.

Assuming he stayed in Ontario , even if he died in 1974, his death will not be online until 2046 at the very earliest.

I’ve no idea why I nudged this up in February but there is little point of an OP doing the same whilst not commenting on how things are going.

You need to understand that many countries have different rules about releasing information especially onto the internet.

Laura -
As has already been posted, more recent records are not online.

There is nothing more that we can find for you, unfortunately.

Did you follow up the contacts sent to you by Jink20, as mentioned in Jink's post on
8 February 2024 at 20:51 ?

There doesn't seem to be anything for them later than the 1974 Voters' List entry for Charles and Mrs Dorothy Norcott (who may or may not be the right couple) which I posted on 16 March 2021 at 17:49 - and which you have on your Ancestry tree .
Also nothing at all to identify Dorothy.


In Ontario -
Birth records are released to the public after 104 years, marriages after 82 years, and deaths after 72 years. The following dates are open to the public:

Birth registrations: 1869-1917
Marriage registrations: 1801-1941
Death registrations: 1869-1951
Death registrations (overseas): 1939-1947

Thank you all so much for your help. I don’t know why it won’t let me back into the above account.

I managed to get in touch with a gentleman through ancestry whose wife is related to Charles/Jack down the lines. Unfortunately, her grandmother had passed away and she would have known a lot more. This is the information they gave me:

“Below is the response we got from my wifes aunt in the UK:

I can remember Uncle Jack visiting 256 but I was quite young at the time and eventually emigrating to Canada. He went out first and when organised would send for his wife and children. He never did because on the boat he met a lady called Dorothy and eventually married her!!!!!! Grandma Moore did go and stay with them a couple of times in Canada”

Unfortunately I haven’t heard anything since. I really do appreciate everyone’s replies!

From OP

I have since been told he met a lady on the boat called Dorothy and married her, never sending for Laura?

In 1957 he FLEW to New York, if it's the same man

Ronald would have been 18 in 1957. Maybe he wanted to try his luck in the US or Canada, and Charles offered to take him along. You'll never know for sure.

Yes, but Ronald was not Charles' son which is why we were confused.

We are just looking for something to show what happened to him in the end

In your opening post you answered your own query about Laura not going at the same time as Charles -

"Went to Canada around 1957 to set up home and was supposed to send for Laura"

It was quite common for a husband to emigrate first, find a job and a home, and then for the family to follow later.

As for why there are no records for Charles after that - many such relatively recent records are not online.

Laura

Laura Report 16 Mar 2021 12:15

Thanks for your reply. Yes all that information is correct. She married George Bolton before Charles Norcott and had those 3 children.

As for Charles going to New York with Ronald, we don't understand as to why Laura and her other 2 children didn't go at the same time.

It's just so strange that there are no records for Charles after this time?

If I could get in touch with any of Laura's children that would be amazing as they could possibly hold all the answers
