I'm looking to locate a book store that specializes in genealogy information; located in the Simcoe or Brantford area. I had found the information about it a few years ago and then lost it. I would like to visit it, so if anyone has the information about the address, I would appreciate it. Thanks

Aberdeenshire Lookup Requests / Re: Obituary - David McPherson

Completed.
I was able to send for copies from Aberdeen Library. They were most helpful. Unfortunately the Obituary did not have any further family information.
Thank you for the suggestion.

Canada Lookup Request / Re: Margaret Gracey Brown Hill; in Toronto ON
« on: Thursday 20 November 08 17:11 GMT (UK) »
Hi Jim:
Good to here from you again.
From the 1911 Canadian census, I learned that she arrived in 1907.
John Hill is shown to have arrived that year also. But I don't know if they came over together.
I have Stephen Brown arriving in 1908 according to his Army record. But I have't found anything for his sister Eliza( Elizabeth).
If you find anything, it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Janice:
Again thanks for your help.
I have no idea at all when Margaret died. I still have an Aunt living in the Vancouver area( Dad's half-sister). I will try to contact her. I know that she said when she was young, they had no contact with her Father's family at all. So I am thinking Margaret may have passed away before they were born or shortly after. It is also possible that Margaret could have moved to BC. So I will start some researching there.
I do appreciate all that you've done so far.

Janice:
Thank you for your help. I was able to download the Toronto directories for 1912 and 1913. But I was unable to locate them at the address shown on the 1911 census ( 85 Denison Ave, Toronto). With all the John Hill listings, I was unable to discover if they were still in Toronto. Also I has no luck with searching Ancestry for a Death record for either Margaret or John.
Well I will keep plugging away at it.
Again, thanks for your suggestions.

Thanks Janice;
I already have copies of Stephen's Millitary records. Thank you.
The family information has been scarce as Jessie (his first wife, my grand mother) died when Dad was 4, and he was raised by his maternal family.
It was a surprize to find Margaret had come to Canada.
I will start checking the Toronto Directory. I didn realize it was on line.
