PS Janice
he was only in for four months..lol..wouldnt be a very big file would it..LOL.."Hes drunk again, kick him out!".... Bless Him.  Makes me wonder how he managed to find alcohol at that time..mind you they were sent to France immediately in January 1915 by all accounts..plenty of wine there..lol Now I know where I get my penchant for a drop or two from

Just looked at all the addresses I have listed from them both in the 1910-20's..its nice to know that their families both stayed so close to each other  ..Might indicate that desire continued to this day and could help with tracing them..Going to have a look through the white pages today see if any Oswalds live in this area. Thank you for ther maps Janice.

TTtt  Sadly just found a death entry for Henry and Margarets daughter, says she had appendicitis for 5 days and had peritinitis for 2 days before dying aged 17 yrs 10 months.
Poor lass!! Says she was in Grace Hospital and was buried at Park Lawn?? Not sure what Park Lawn is other than guessing maybe she had her ashes scattered on the local park lawn???
What is good is that her mums maiden name is listed and another address in the locality ..so sad

Here is the address for the cemetery. You could try writing to them, to see what information they have on file.
Park Lawn Cemetery
2845 Bloor Street West,
Toronto, Ontario M8X 1A6
What year did Harry's daughter die?

Here is a link showing where Park Lawn Cemetery is located. (Again, it is close to where they were living.)
http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=cr&CRid=639391
(The above site is not complete for the burials listed. They have the number of 193, but there are alot more than that.)

Toronto Star - Friday, August 1, 1919
Death Notice:
OSWALD - At Grace Hospital on Thursday, July 31st, Marguerite Oswald, Age 17 years and 10 months, beloved daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Harry Oswald, 95 Perth Avenue.
Funeral Saturday, at 3pm in Park Lawn Cemetery.
If you would like a copy of this notice, send me your email by "personal message" and I will send you a copy. It is too large to post here.
I also have a birth notice for a "Sinclair Douglas Oswald" son of Mr. & Mrs. H.D. Oswald. If this is yours, I will send this as well.
Janice

It's just a thought, but when you write to the cemetery, you should mention the other members of the family. Because they all lived near each other, there is a very good possibility that they were all (or at least most) buried there as well. Maybe they would be able to take photos of the stones as well.
If not, maybe someone from this link could help.
(careful though, some charge)
