Just an update on X00060: Finding Sybil Williams Death Information. The only sources that I have found to support a death date of 13 May 1874 were her tombsone [D01637] and the Greenwood Cemetery Internment listing [D01131].
Since then I've had a look at the Ontario Death Registrations again and was not able to find anything. I've checked the Owen Sound newspapaers and the Grey County Surname Collection with no luck.
It may well be that the tombstone and internment listing are the only sources that exist. The only other thing that I can think of to search are the church burial records for the time.

Here is the known information:
- She was born February 17 1798 in Gloucester, England based on her baptism records [Sources: D00157, D00419]
- She died May 13 1874 based on her tombstone and the Greenwood Cemetery Internment listing [Sources: D01131, D01637]
- She was buried May 15 1874 Greenwood Cemetery, Owen Sound, Ontario based on the Greenwood Cemetery Internment listing [Source: D01131]
- Her religion was Church of England [Source: D01565]
- She was living in Owen Sound in 1871 based on the 1871 census [Source: D01565] and Guelph before that.
Here's the results of my research:
- Couldn't find anything in the Ontario Civil Death Registrations on either Ancestry or FamilySearch
- Couldn't find anything in the Ontario Civil Death Registrations on microfilm
- Couldn't find anything in the indexes of Owen Sound newspapers
- Couldn't find anything in the indexes of Guelph newspapers
- I found a death certification for a Sybil Williams in England in 1874, but it is not her [D03877]
Any other suggestions of places to look? Or next steps to try?
