Hi Sandra,
Yes I found that gravestone too for Albert when I was looking at the cemetery on google.
By my past experience of the Ontario library service, they charge to send an e-mail so being an oap I can't afford additional costs, so I'll leave that.
BTW  the family tree shown earlier at genealogie is my own!

That is definitely not true - not all libraries charge for sending obits via e-mail.  Cemetery Offices are usually very obliging as well and have never known one to charge.

St John's Norway Cemetery is pleased to respond to genealogy enquiries by phone (416-691-2965) or email.

Well it is true of one library in particular which is the London one but I've e-mailed the cemetery and hope they can help.

As I said - not ALL libraries charge for genealogy enquiries. Perhaps you were unlucky. 


St John's Norway Cemetery is pleased to respond to genealogy enquiries by phone (416-691-2965) or email.

RAOGK have volunteers in Toronto who will photograph gravestones/cemetery plots.

I wonder if Ada remarried?  Not seeing her obit under Uren anywhere. 

Ella's obit from 1999 says she was predeceased by sister Ada.  Ada was alive in 1971 when her husband died.  So, looking between 1971 and 1999 for her.

Thank you very much for that info RunKitty.
Sandra had a reply from the cemetery and they say: Note: All Genealogy searches are done once per month*
Due to an increase in requests, Genealogy search responses may be delayed.
Hopefully though I'll get a reply soon.
Who are RAOGK?
