Thanks Sandra , I think he did get married again and maybe it was 442 Merton St he built , I looked at 278 Merton st and it did not look likely . I would like to find a gravestone if possible , I searched for Sarah's but no joy .
Regards

Just found the standard "Notice to Creditors" ... notifying anyone with a claim against the estate of a deceased... for William Henry Snell.  It says he died March 14, 1961.  His address had been 442 Merton Street.  He was a builder. Ada Snell was administratrix.

It was posted in the Globe and Mail newspaper in Sept of 1974.
