Jesse Whitta - b 1877.
« on: Friday 10 October 14 13:29 BST (UK) »
I am trying to find if the following information is correct:-
Jesse Whitta died in Toronto General Hospital on 22nd October, 1932 - I believe his home address was 1923 Kingston Road in York.   Where is the best site for me to look?
Thank you Elizabeth

Hi,

If you don't have an Ancestry subscription, you can see if your local library has access to the free Ancestry Library Edition. 

There is a short obituary for Jesse in the Globe and Mail newspaper.  He died on the 22nd of October, 1932 at the Toronto East General Hospital (this is different from the Toronto General Hospital, which is downtown).  He was 56 years old.  He is survived by his daughter Minnie Whitta of 1923 Kingston Road.  He is buried in Pine Hills Cemetery.  Funeral was the 25th of October, 1932.

Thanks for the information - I dont have too much experience in researching overseas - Canada ' USA etc., it is good to get the correct details though.    Elizabeth
