OBITS
« on: Wednesday 11 January 06 19:32 GMT (UK) »
I have just been told the death dates of Elizabeth COLLINS died 7 Nov 1951 and Thomas Henry COLLINS died 7 Oct 1959 and I wonder if it is  possible for someone to find the obits .

Both are buried in  Kirkland Lake, Temiskaming ,Ontario and Elizabeth,so I have been told  was listed on the headstone in her birth name  which was Elizabeth Beare.

Her full maiden name was Elizabeth John Jeffrey Beare.

Elizabeth and Thomas emigrated from Cornwall to the US and then lived in Canada.

They had three children Ruth ,Harold and Pearl who were born in the US.

Hi,

Have you contacted the library to see if they could do it for you?

http://www.nt.net/nlpl/

Or the Temiskaming Library Group:
http://www.nt.net/~timetrav/

I bet someone at either place could help.

Good luck!

I have been lucky enough to have been given information about the obit of Thomas Henry Collins from another source.
