John's marriage registration places his birth in Beverly. A birth registration for him exists, however, and it shows his birth in Burford. The family was there during this period, so this appears to be correct.

BurialHe was buried at St. George Cemetery. 
NoteBirth reg. 001564-76 Burford, Brant Co. John Milton Durham, born 1 November 1876, s/o Daniel Durham, farmer, Burford, and Hannah Robb.

John's middle name on his birth registration is shown as Milton. In later years, he gave his middle initial as A. 'Milton' is probably a clerical error. On son Russell's delayed statement of birth in 1943, John's middle name is given as Alfred, which is used in this tree.
