Old friend seeks Donald who served in Kenya in 1950 as a doctor in the RAMC and later lived in Canada . Does anyone know anything about him?

Welcome to the boards, Wignall.

If you believe he stayed in Canada, possibly incorporate that fact in your title to attract people with knowledge of that country.

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.

Canada has much stricter privacy laws than in the UK, there's a restriction on birth records for 100 years, marriages for 80 and deaths I think is 50 years. It can vary a bit by province.

You should try googling his name.

You'll find things like this:

His marriage notice (in French)

Thanks, very helpful. I have found it very difficult to check records in Canada.
