Acky,

What town or city did they live in?

There's a Brock Street in Toronto but there are probably others in other cities.

Regards,
Josephine

Acky,

It looks like Fort William is now Thunder Bay:

I would suggest that you write to the library there.  They might have a death or cemetery index as well as city directories.  The ideal would be an obit that lists relatives.

Acky,

I'm in Toronto.  I can't look at microfilm, though, because I have a lot of double vision normally plus I get vertigo.
