The Canadian side seems straight forward bar who was John Henry Best who was the Informant of his death? One of his sons I presume? Hopefully, he left England after 1841 giving us a chance to find him on the 1841 Census. If he left prior to this, it could take a bit of research for find which William Best he is and the family he is from over here. "We know" is confusing me. Is this all you know about him? The Canadian side is easy for me. It is before that which I need more information...i.e., his father; mother; etc. I will do some tracing here in Canada re John Henry...that is if you mean that John Henry has been traced to Canada Prior to 1837, births etc were recorded by the church--and William was Church of England--- so if we can ascertain which village he came from, the parish records of his birth and baptism will give us a clue to his family. So far, all Canadian records state is Kent, England. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

John Henry Best reported his death and he was living in Walpole, Ont. The only possible candidate I have found so far could be William Best; baptised 17 Dec 1809 in Hartley, Kent. Son of John Best and wife Maria. No, it's not all I know about him. William married Lydia Binkley, 22 March, 1838 in Ontario. John Henry Best (1840-1911) was their second son. William had been a farmer and was ill 6 months prior to his death. But I must admit, I've spent only about 2 hours on your question/s.
