Please help find death record/location/cause of death!

Question

Hi All,

So my 2nd GG died apparently in 1936 (from a newspaper cutout clipping my relative had). I can't find the cause of death, burial location, or death record. His information is below. Keep in mind his last name is spelt many ways.... This is a brickwall of mine that wasn't too long ago. I can't find really any information on him. He would have been Catholic. Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

Francis "Frank" MacInnis (sometimes McInnis, Mcguinnis, Magennis, etc.)

His Parents: Donald McInnis 1840-1899 & Catherine McLean 1850-1899

Siblings: Catherine MacInnis Cameron (1873-1937)

Ronald Joseph McInnis (1875-1954)

Allan McInnis (1877-?)

Spouse: Mary Ann MacIvor (1882-1987)

Children: Catherine MacInnis (1903-1998), Agnes MacInnis (1904-1967), John J McInnis (1905-1978)

Frank's Information below:

BIRTH 16 OCT 1883 • Nova Scotia, Canada

DEATH NOV 1936 • Union City, Hudson, New Jersey

If you are certain about his date of death, you can order a search for his death certificate for $10.00 from the State of New Jersey Archives.

Lauren, if you put MacInnis-484 in your question's field for that, located just above where you put the tags, that will link the profile and your question, so that anyone looking at the question can easily find the profile, and anyone looking at the profile can easily find this discussion.

This doesn't answer about his cause of death, but looks like it might be his draft registration

The Draft Registrations are fun because they include occupation, physical description, and his own signature!
