Does anyone know where I can search Ontario death records. I am looking for a death that 'possibly' happened in the 1970's in the London area.

Thanks

I don't think you'll find any Ontario death records that recent online. Privacy laws, you know.

Did you try googling the name in case there's an obituary online?

Researching:
Great grandmother Dorothy Bean nee Abbott (1858-1908)

Thanks Margee. Yes, I've googled but no luck. I'm usually researching UK records for my own family but I'm doing this one for a friend.

Margee's partly right - you won't find online death records that recent. Although deaths are open public records in Ontario, there's no published index for 70y.

For FS's collectios, see:
https://familysearch.org/search/collection/list/?page=1®ion=CANADA
In particular:
https://familysearch.org/search/collection/1307826

Ancestry has the collection:
Ontario, Canada, Deaths, 1869-1938 and Deaths Overseas, 1939-1947
You can search this via:
http://search.ancestry.co.uk/search/db.aspx?dbid=8946
However, if you don't have a sub, then you'll get limited info (unless you go to your local library & can log on there).
FYI: London is in Middlesex Co.

If you want to apply for a post-1942 d.cert:
