BARNES Alexander Crombie some help please

[tropicalj]

Good morning,
I am  trying to  help a friend here  in  Australia  find out what  happened  to  Alexander Crombie Barnes born 1910 c in Leslie in Fife in Scotland.  He married  Emma Ruth Demptster in Toronto n 1937 and after the couple divorced Emma remarried.   There was one son from  the marriage  who is still alive so  I wont mention  his name.  From information  out  there in  cyber space he  was on  some census records  up to 1950 odd.   His  father also Alexander  died in 1951


any  help  would be  appreciated

thanks  Jenn

Do you have an obit for Alexander C Barnes sr?  If not, it is in the Globe and Mail newspaper, 18 May 1951, page 26.

He died at his home, 2 Spadina Road, on May 15, 1951.  Husband of Jean Sim.  Father of John, Alex, Alan and Jessie (Mrs P Linton) of London, England.  Interment Prospect Cemetery.

Found Allan W Barnes's obituary in the Toronto Star, Aug 9, 1977, page B6. 

His nickname was Scotty.  Veteran RCAF 400 Squadron WW2.  He died at the Etobicoke General Hospital on Aug 7, 1977.  Husband of Eva Force.  Brother of Jean Linton of Poole, England (it says Jean here.. perhaps Jessie is Jessie Jean, or Jean Jessie??),  John of Keane, Ontario and the late Alex of Windsor.

So, Alex lived in Windsor, Ontario...and he died before 1977.

Thank you Ed

Maybe this  is  the elusive Alexander CR Barnes, perhaps SKS may be able to do a lookup  for  his  details....  or  I can see if there is a link  to  ask?
