Ongoing project of indexing obituary and marriage and other notices from the Port Arthur and Fort William papers.

There is a marriage notice in 1920-29 for James Pringle which ties in with the marriage record found.

There is an obituary notice for J.F. Pringle @ 63 Feb 8, 1949 Toronto.  The birth year is off from yours.

You can't actually see the obituary notice - it's just an index.  You have to take another step and request it and there is probably a cost involved.

Marriage records might not record legal names - perhaps he knew his mother as Annie.
