Thank you Pat, the Death of Arthur beecroft 29-7-1982 age 72 looks a good possability. We know he was alive in the early 1970's. Re his elder brother William Beecroft birth year should have read 1900 not 1910. The two brothers emigrated from England to Canada (I think)in 1925. William wrote to a sister in 1933 from Barford, Sask, canada, where he was working on a farm. He reported times were very hard. The family never heard from him again. Thank you very much for your help. Do you know if Sask has a site like the one you gave to me?
