 am seeking information on Dorothy (nee Hicks), Mrs S Ainsworth in Toronto Canada.  The first posting I found was at the death of her father, Frank Hicks, in 1944 which says she was in the RCAF.  The next one was at the death of her mother, Rose Ann Hicks in December 1973.  I have the notice of death of Harry Stuart (Stu) Ainsworth in July 1997 which refers to 'Predeceased by wife Dorothy' which I hope may be the right one.  Any information on the birth (after 1921), her marriage and death especially any notice which may list her children would be gratefully received.  I do have a lot of information on Frank and Rose Hicks but nothing on Dorothy.

I have trawled the Toronto Star but cannot find the deaths or indeed any information about Frank Hicks's children.  I know Ruith, Mrs M McGrath was dead by December 1973 as it refers to her as the 'late Mrs M McGrath in the death notice of Rose Ann Hicks.  I Know Dorothy, Mrs Stu Ainsworth predeceased her husband who died in July 1997 again from the death notice of Mr Ainsworth,  and Francis James (or James Francis) Hicks I can find nothing.  I am now frustrated and desperate.  Any final help or advice as to where I should go next or indeed any information about them at all.

Thanks to all who have helped me so far.  I have found the death of Rose Ann Hicks in December 1973 but in spite of trawling through the Toronto Star pay site I have been unable to find the births of their three children Dorothy, June, James Francis.  England is much easier as I can get the birth certificates.  Can anyone help with suggestions as to how I may now proceed.  Many thanks
