Never assume...

Obit for James Lamb in the Globe and Mail newspaper 31 Jan 1968, page 35.  He died at the Brantford General Hospital on 30 Jan 1968. Husband of Mary McVicar.  Father of Janet (Mrs Norman Earl Griffin) of Brantford and John Lamb of Willowdale (this is an area in the northern part of Toronto) and the late James Norman Lamb.  Several grandchildren named (I won't name them here).  Interment Mount Pleasant Cemetery.

You are very welcome :) :)

I sent you a PM with the names of the grandchildren.  I am not sure whether you have to post 2 or 3 times in order to be able to use the RootsChat PM system.  If you can't see my message, just post one more time here on this thread... you can just say "Hi" if you like!!  Then you should be able to read my PM.
