have a relative Florence Samuel that I believe is buried in the woodland cemetery Hamilton I saw the headstone and the dob of 1899 and death 1976 looks spot on
but I know connections from florences daughter lauras husbands side and they seem to believe she died in 50s
on my previous post it suggests she was a widow going by the voters list in 1970s sometimes I wonder why she is listed as widow as her husband seemed to marry another woman and we can trace him on previous post
but is there a way to find an obituary notice for this Florence to confirm more about her and to see if this is our Florence that's buried in woodland cemetery Hamilton Ontario 1899-1976
thanks in advance for any help given

Only info I have on her death is a presumed head stone
Sorry

The above was for "Information Purposes" - otherwise research already done, tends to get duplicated.
There is an RAOGK volunteer in Hamilton - "Types of Look ups: Online Sources, Cemetery Photos, State / Local Library" - this might be worth an e-mail if nothing materilizes on here.

Or you could write (snail mail) to Hamilton Public Library - :-\

You can check Montreal Directories here
http://bibnum2.banq.qc.ca/bna/lovell/index.html
Choose Montreal...then Serie Principale. After that, you can access the directories. Choose the year you want, then choose the alphabetical directory.

Another question where would I source obituaries for Hamilton Ontario as I would like to try and get Florence samuel info as we have info on his second wife’s death wondered if an obituary for Florence 1899 - 1976 would give clues
Ryan

Ref reply 22 - RootsChat has a no living person policy so we cannot name the surviving son, probably best if you remove his name.

Hi there.
I wonder.....
With Garth's death being so recent, I wonder if the cemetery might be able to pass on a message to the son? Might be worth contacting them?
