I just checked a few Toronto city directories.  Turned up nothing useful but did find a puzzle.

1910, 1911 - no Checketts or Chicketts

1912 - Checkett James B, wtr, b 739 King w
A check by address has "Tear Geo, rest" associated with 739 King St W where this Checkett is a boarder.

1913, 1914 - nothing

1920 - Checkett Jas, rms 444 Gerrard e
1922 - nothing
1924 - Checkett Jas, h 5 Currie pl

So there's no trace of the sister and no certainty that the Checkett at 739 King is yours.

Interlake Tissue Mills was started in 1912 according to http://www.cellutissue.com/about-interlakepaper.html.
There's a picture at http://www.nfpl.library.on.ca/nfplindex/show.asp?id=101111&b=1 which is dated as "ca 1910".

Wonder when the directory was actually published. When I was a librarian the directories came out say in Sept./Oct. dated with the following year (i.e.: 1975 directory might come out in Oct.1974 with details that were compiled much earlier in the year).

Hi Matildakin,

You may want  to try the Toronto immigration datadase at http://www.archives.gov.on.ca/english/db/hawke.htm.

I did a quick search on FindMyPast website and found the following in hope any of them may be your rellie.

CHECKETT Annie  Adult F 1910 Glasgow Canada Saint John Nb VIEW  VIEW 
CHECKETT Catherine  25 F 1921 Liverpool Canada Quebec VIEW  VIEW 
CHECKETT Eleanor  24 F 1908 Liverpool Canada Quebec VIEW  VIEW 
CHECKETT William  27 M 1924 Liverpool Canada Quebec VIEW  VIEW 

I am not a member so if you know one they may be able to get the records for you (not sure what the cost  of the info is on this website.

Hope this helps you out.

JDC

Hi JDC,
I have all those Checketts, plus a few more and the only one who is closely related is Catherine. I was hoping to find her going earlier than 1921. She also went in 1924 and then to Hong Kong in 1927!!

At least I now know with the fantastic help here...what happened to James.
Thank you for your post xx

At that time, Merritton was a town unto itself. It was amalgamated with the City of St Catharines on January 1, 1961, much to the dismay of the residents of Merritton. If you wish, I can get you a photo of the grave stone, (if one exists)m as I am within walking distance to Victoria Lawn Cemetery. Let me know.
