Brick Wall - VanWyck-178

Question

After many years of searching every grave yard in Wellington - Dufferin and Peel Counties, Ontario.  Scanning Family Search and my Family Tree on Ancestry - No record of death certificate and cemetery.

Sophrona Van Wyck/Snow - 178 (1839/43-after !871) she died young & left children.  My gut feeling she was buried in Caledon United Church Cemetery.  There apparently are no original records left according to people & have been in contact with.  I want to know what the  cause of death was?  Just because of the history of her husband, John Philpott Snow.

Answer 1

I'm sorry, but I live in the greater NYC area and your title made me laugh. The VanWyck Expressway is always clogged.

On the serious side, I would hunt down probate information next.  She probably had some kind of money to pass down.  By the mid 1800s, better records of probate exist in Ontario.  Her cause of death probably won't be there, but her date of death would be.  Also, check if her husband remarried.  That could narrow the field more.
