There are links to various vital records indices here, but privacy is pretty tight, so he/they may not be listed. If you were able to find anything, the cert may give details of next of kin.

Indont know if you are interested but my grandpa sent his oldest son Frank back to England as they were hoping to move the whole family back there... Then the war, so Frank was sent back to Canada. My grandparents lived in Saskatoon. My Uncle Frank had his dad sign him up to the navy when got back verifying he was 17. He was 16. He served on a corvette ship for the remainder of the war based out of england and Ireland and he cAme bAck at end if the war :). My family never made back to live in England :(. We are still here in Canada.
