Kaz,

If you would like the Toronto Star articles, send me a personal message with your email and I will send them through to you, as I have access to "Pages of the Past" from home through my local library. (They are usually to large to post here.)

Janice,

Would it be possible for you to search Pages of the Past for William's obit?  I anticipate that that would give us the info we need to push things further.

By the way, I got a chuckle out of the reference in http://www.carollome.com/Properties.php/Details/45 to "chick shops" near 201 Dovercourt. I do hope they meant "chic".

I saw that too. 

I hope you're right!

I will check for William's obit to see what I can find.

Kaz,

It was a nice day yesterday so I went out to Prospect cemetery.  I was hoping that some of the other Aspinalls (like William) would turn up there but that wasn't the case.  I've attached a photo of Sarah Billows' gravesite.  The location given to me for Robert and Hannah had no marker.   A couple of rows over was a marker for Chris and Lillie A. Aspinall but I have no evidence of any relationship to your Aspinalls.

Mat,

Sorry it took me a while to reply ..i didn't get any notification from Rootschat

Anyway, Thanks for the great photo,  i really appreciate it. As well as the one for the other Aspinalls. Not sure if there is a connection but i,ll keep it until i can figure it out - one way or another!

Many thanks, Kaz
