Did Joseph Hopkins Source, his father,  die in Canada or is that a different Joseph Hopkins Source?

---

Yes that is correct, Joseph H Source did die in Canada.

---

What year?  I see he is commemorated but can't find the notice. The reference cites 1925?  I have his DOB as 1942.

---

Joseph was born in 1880, and died in the 1920s- it could be 1925!

---

What is the commemoration? Could you please send the link, or picture or whatever it is?

Answer 1

James Source born 1846 Bedford RD, England.

Answer 2

Take a look at this record for his birth.https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:26RW-PSD  and it looks like his wife's name was Eunice Hopkins and his father was Thomas Scource per "England Marriages, 1538–1973 ," index, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/NVT3-X9K : accessed 24 Nov 2014), James Source and Eunice Hopkins, 06 Apr 1869; citing Wesleyan Methodist,Bedford District,Bedford,England, reference ; FHL microfilm 1279201.

Note the change in the spelling of the last name from his father to him....may be the break through you need to find more information.
