Hi there,

    My name is Nancy and I have access to 2 Toronto Newspaper archives.
I can do obituary look ups. Please provide all the information possible.

I would be obliged if you could look for Donald Manson who died 3 Feb 1962.
Thanks

Hi there,

    There is no obituary but a small write up saying:

Donald Manson

Ottawa. Feb. 4 --Donald Manson, general manager of the Canadian Broadcasting
Corp 1951-52 and a pioneer of the Canadian radio industry, died at his home here
yesterday. He was 73.

     I'm not sure if he is the right one. Hopefully this rings a bell. There is a third
Toronto newspaper that is no longer in print but not available on line.

Regards,

Nancy

Hi Nancy

Is it possible for you to search for obituaries without the date of death or burial?

I am researching family that I know lived in Toronto during the early 1920s but I have no information after that time.

Thanks.

Thanks Nancy, that is the right one. I have been trying to find out more about his life in Canada after leaving Scotland without having to visit the National Archives where I believe a lot of his personal papers have been deposited. There would probably be more in a Ottawa newspaper.

Now that I know that is the correct one, I will look a little more and see if I can come up with something more. I will let you know if I find anything.

Another article that mentions him.

Hi,

  I have sent an email to someone who I think might have access to Ottawa newspapers. Will let you know.
