I'm looking for an obituary for Lucy House who died 5th February 1978 in British Columbia , either Revelstoke or Vancouver .
Any idea where I should look

No Vera I don't have the death certificate . Lucy had no children of her own and her husband had died in 1927 after only 7 years of marriage . She did however have a niece Helen Hammond so I'm sure there would be an obituary in the local paper . I find obituaries can give quite a bit of family info so are quite useful .

Thank you Sylvia and Christine .
Yes Sylvia I will contact the Revelsoke review . I tried searching for the obituaries from 1978 but they just seem to have recent ones online .
Christine yes I found those notices . However I don't know why but Lucy's full death certificate is online from 1978 but not James ' s from 1927!. I wondered if it's either that the earlier ones are not online at all though I don't know why they wouldn't be or that it is because James seems to have died in a mental institution called Essondale and that could be the reason though I don't really know why that would be the case.

I think it's just that earlier BC death certs haven't been digitised. Eg there aren't digitised versions of various relatives of mine who died in BC in the 1930s and early 1940's but I can find images for later deaths.
