Nellie Waltham married to Christopher George Carruthers then John JamesO'Hanly

[Benny Gillies]

I am trying to find details of the date and place of the death of Nellie Waltham. (Born Lincolnshire England 1890)
She emmigrated to Canada in 1911 and married Christopher George Carruthers who was killed in action with the 4th Canadian Mounted Rifles at Vimy Ridge 1917. She remarried to John James O'Hanly in Toronto in 1928 and I found a record of her on an electoral roll of 1958 living in Broadview Toronto. I have so far drawn a blank regarding her death.

Hello and a very warm welcome to RootsChat  .

I can't help with the death but someone else may be able to.

I don't know if you are interested in and/or have Christopher's full military file but it is available so I thought I would post it....Library and Archives Canada is digitizing all the WW1 military files....

Thanks for that.
I did already have that file as someone connected with the Canadian Mounted Rifles passed the link on to me.

Hi benny,

He might be listed in the Ontario Cemetery finding aid site. You can then contact the cem admin for info.

Hi,

I am not seeing her death in the papers so far.  I found John J O'Hanley's obituary in the Globe and Mail paper, but it doesn't say where he was buried

If you need his information - he died March 26 or 27th 1950 (depends on how you read the obit).  The notice is in the March 27th edition of the paper and it says the he was "stricken yesterday", was 70, had worked for the Canadian General Electric Company for 24 years, died from a heart attack at his home 218 Glenholme.  He was born in Brantford.  He was a racing fan.  Leaves wife Nellie Waltham O'Hanley.  Brothers Allan, Leslie and Howard.

OK - Just found her.

Nellie's obituary is in the Toronto Star newspaper on May 24, 1962, page 35. 

She died on May 21, 1962, at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital.  Address had been 670 St Clair W.  Wife of the late Jack O' Hanley.  Grandmother of A and M of Dumfries, Scotland (won't post full names in case still living).  Cousin of Joseph Parkinson of Toronto.  Interment Prospect Cemetery.

Great work. I am very much indebted to you for this information. You say the two grandsons were A and M. These are my half brothers. Could the A be R? He was Ray Anthony Carruthers (now deceased). The M is Removed Carruthers.
You give the address as St Clair W. Rae had named his house St Clair. So mthat all fits in.
I would really now like to find the birth details of their father. (Nellie's son) William George Carruthers born in 1914 presumably in Toronto. He was brought to UK with Nellie in 1920 and it would seem he was left there and brought up by his granny. He married my mother had the two boys then died of TB in 1943. Finding his birth details would tie everything up.
Is there any way I can get a copy of the Toronto Star obituary notice you have mentioned?
Best wishes
Benny

Yes Dawn he is still alive.
I looked at the link you gave but could not find a date. Just the year. Am I doing something wrong?
