Is it possible to obtain BMD certificates for this region of Spain?
Are there any online genealogy resources for this region?
After many years of fruitless search for Edmund Breakspeare Smith I found a record for a death in 1956 via the British Nationals Overseas records. I have obtained the certificate produced by the British Vice Consulate of San Sebastian which gives no cause of death, just that a San Sebastian death certificate was produced.
His eldest daughter was his informant and I would like to find out what happened to her.

The British Newspaper Archive website has a few articles which mention Edmund. There is one dated 15 Mar 1890 from The Era which states that the Company left Liverpool for Havana on 1st March and as Breakspear Smith was Musical Director
