In 1957 (the next update of the voters' list), Mary is living at the same address, but Philip is not with her.  There is a Philip living relatively close by at 164 Cheritan Avenue, Apt. 1, working as a stock broker, along with a Mrs. Thelma Anderson, so perhaps he married in the interim.

By 1963, this Philip and Thelma have moved and are living at 24 Knightswood Road.

In 1953, the Philip J Anderson at 1520 Bathurst (with his mother) is a stockbroker at G H Rennie.  (Toronto City Directory)

In the 1957 directory, the Philip J Anderson ot 164 Cheritan Ave is a stockbroker with G H Rennie and Co.

In the 1963 Toronto Directory, Philp J Anderson of 24 Knightswood Road is pres. of G H Rennie and Co. 

Must be the same Philip.

Well done RK and Eileen.

Thanks, DB.  Good work on your part too!

By 1966, Philip is working for John C. Allen & Co.  Still living at the Knightswood Rd. address.
I lose him after 1967.

Looks like Philip J Anderson and his partner I R Wookey (at G H Rennie and Co) were facing some allegations in the mid 1960s .... I won't post the details here.  If you are interested, you can see the newspaper articles in the Toronto Star and Globe and Mail. 

If you can view this book online...it is helpful in understanding what happened.  It says T J Anderson.. but should be P J Anderson.

In an article from 1968 it says both Wookey and Anderson had been granted a new registration by the OSC (Ontario Securities Commission) to be partners with J C Allen Ltd. (I think that happened in 1963/4).   It appears that there was no criminal wrongdoing...

Google brings up the online book that discusses it as well.  Insider trading wasn't illegal back then!

DB

I found an obituary for a Mary Ann Anderson... mother of Philip and Robert.  She died at the Riverdale Hospital (in Toronto...the south eastern part), on July 16 1965.  This might be Philip J's mother??  No indication of where she was buried (cremation).

Oh boy, you folks are great!

Many thanks to DB, RK and Eileen for all this info. I have to admit I was rather surprised to read that book excerpt.

My thanks again.
