Title: ROBERTSON,Owen C.S...Oakville,Halton 1907-1994
Post by: ajjbc on Monday 08 October 12 20:05 BST (UK)
I am seeking info for" Owen Connor Straun ROBERTSON" 1907-1994..His title was "Commadore".
He apparently died... Nov 22 1994 at Oakville,Halton Co., Ontario.
What I especially would like  is his Obit.& burial place...if possible.

 ....His wife's name was Marjororie Sylvia "Holm" Robertson.
I have nothing on her at all
Did she live and die there...before or after him
and did they have any children?
....Any help very much appreciated.

Have you asked the Oakville Library to look up an obituary for you.  If you google Owen C.S. Robertson you get a number of hits and he seemed to be a prominent Canadian.  You have a date of death -  it should be easy for the library to assist you or the local Oakville newspaper.

Hi,

THe Oakville library is probably the best place to check.   :)

His obit is also in the Globe and Mail newspaper - Thursday Nov 24 edition, page A29.  If your own library has access to the Globe online, you can see it.

His wife's name was Madge Wise.  She died in 1973.  He his survived by a half brother, 2 daughters and some grandchildren. 

The Globe obit is under the name of Commodore O.C.S. Robertson.

I haven't looked into this but with a name like 'Struan' I would suspect Scottish roots?
