Looking for info on Albert Parker Duxbury born April Q of 1893 in Blackburn. He married Nellie Jackson in 1915 in Blackburn and they went to Canada in 1920 and settled in Toronto he came back to england for visits in 1926 and 1935 but after that I have no info . Would like to know when & where he/ and or Nellie died.
I have 3 addresses in Toronto for Albert Jones Avenue 1920, Burgess avenue 1926 and 7 Doncaster avenue 1935.

Ontario death records from after 1939 are currently protected by privacy laws. If they stayed in Toronto you might want to try looking for BMD announcements in the Toronto Star archives. It's a pay site but not very expensive. Here's the link:

1958 - same address - Albert and Nellie with a Gordon Smith.
Only Nellie listed on Canada Voters List 1963 at Wychwood Avenue, York Toronto - also a Gordon Smith (contractor) at the same address.
