Arthur Farrow bc 1915 Ontario
« on: Tuesday 04 September 18 12:24 BST (UK) »
The above was the son of Ernest George Farrow and Florence Maud nee Lewin; they were all on the 1921 census at 17 Victoria Bvd, York including an 'adopted' daughter Lilian bc 1921. Florence passed away 15 Nov 1929 and Ernest/George (he reversed names sometimes) married I think Mabel Driver as according to his passing she is on the certificate as his wife; he passed away 13 Feb 1946.
Are there any records for Arthur and Lilian beyond 1921?

Obit for Freda Maude Belmont Smitherman (nee Farrow) - in Toronto Star 22 May 1975 page B6.  She died in Whitby on May 21 1975.  Wife of the late James Ernest Smitherman.  Mother of J W of Port Perry and R E of Toronto.  Grandmother of 5.  Sister of Mrs A Weller (Nellie) and Arthur of Toronto.  Mrs Alice Bale (Scott), predeceased. In her 76th year.  I can't read the name of the cemetery, but it says it is in Whitby.

Thank you RK, Freda Maude Belmont Smitherman (nee Farrow) was the daughter of Ernest George and his 1st wife Minnie nee Bishop as was Nellie and Alice. Looks like the obit for Arthur seems to fit the bill. What of Lilian though?
