Hi
I cannot find a birth record for a John Hanlon but have found 2 passenger lists arriving at canada
Name HANLON John
Born 1934
Male
Departure Year 1954
Departure Port Liverpool
Destination Canada Halifax
or
Name HANLON Jack
Born 1931
Dept Liverpool 1949
Dest: Canada Halifax
Exploring these two options at the moment. I have also asked someone from the canadian geanology dept to look at census records after 1956.
Will come back to you

Another tip for you which will require another letter:-
If John Hanlon is receiving a pension or contributing pension benefits, the National Search Unit at Human Resources Development Canada (HRDC) will attempt to locate him in their records. If their records indicate that the person is deceased, there may be a beneficiary listed. In either case, staff at HRDC will attempt to contact the individual or the beneficiary on your behalf.
Full Name ;
Date of Birth;
Last known address;
Relationship between you and the individual to be found; and
Reason for the search.
