Margarita & Bruce Ian Watt, Ontario

[41g]

My father's sister, Margarita Wilson (b. 1913 Harrogate) married a Canadian serviceman, Bruce Ian Watt (b. 1909?) in 1945 and emigrated to Canada shortly after that. Her last address was in Kingsville, Ontario. I would like to find out when & where she died but I am not sure how to go about it.
Any advice would be welcome!

It looks like they remained in Kingsville. Here's a link to a Last Post: Death Notice for Bruce Ian Watt, who died in 16 Oct 1983, from the Legion Magazine's website:

Kingsville is in Essex County in Ontario. You could try contacting the local library to see if they can access an obituary for Bruce and Margarita. Here's a link to their website:

I just discovered the OurOntario website which is a collection of Ontario community newspapers. The Kingsville Reporter is included. I got lucky and found an obituary for him. Here's the link:

Bruce's obituary indicated Margaret died in 1982 which lead to her obituary:

If you do an advance search (search box in upper right corner of the index page - http://ink.ourontario.ca/) you might be able to find some birth or marriage announcements for their children. I just searched the name Watt in specific years but you would probably want to enter more than that otherwise you'll get a LOT of hits for the word "watt" in relation to radios, etc.

Thank you both so much for your help! I have never been able to find out much about Margarita but I do know she was a nurse before her marriage- she obviously carried on nursing in Canada.
I am so grateful to find out when they died.
