Hi again,

The "Greenwood" address that Sandra found is an area of Toronto.  The names of Alexander Forbes QC's kids are in his wife's obituary too.  You can read them there.  Sandra's finds might well fit with your family.   :) :)

I don't see Jessie's obituary.

Hi again,

If you have access to Ancestry, you can find Charles and Jessie on the 1921 census with their family.  They are at 2 Ennerdale Road, York South - name transcribed as Elliot. 

Charles is 40, Jessie 35.  Kids are Charles 17, Christina 11, Violet 8, Gladis 6, and Wilbur 4.

Charles, Jessie and Charles Jr were born in Scotland.  Year of immigration is given as 1910.

 Hi all,  Wow what a fantastic response.  Soooo many thanks for your info and help.  I'm in the middle of a family visit at the moment so have the house full for a week or so but will impart this new info to them and am sure they will be impressed - the info looks like it fits perfectly with the little I had put together.  A Barrister is a first aswell - most of the tree are good old Ag Labs, Shoemakers and a good smattering of shipwrights but that's why they emigrated I guess - for a better life!  Will be in touch when I can sit and digest everything.   :)
