Many thanks, I don't know if he stayed in Canada but it looks as though he may have - from the Voter's Lists. Are there BMDs or medical registers in Canada? You will guess that I'm new to this.

I do not know what is available for Canada, which is why I suggested changing your title.
Or try a google search.
