Thankyou all of you for the information that I have received.  Sad that the son drowned, this explains why he was buried with his parents.   I never dreamt (although hoped) that I would receive so much information and am very grateful for all your time in searching for me.

If you search at
http://news.google.co.uk/archivesearch
"Albert Harold Carr" - has something from the NY times about his death (it seems the day before they erroneously stated that Rev. Harold F. Carr was the one who had died).

Also books.google.com has a mention around 1917 of Albert Carr, of Riverdale Baptist Church, Brantford

http://www.findmypast.co.uk/passengerListPersonSearchStart.action
 I think shows them heading to Canada in 1907. The children are listed as Harold and "Kittie".
http://members.shaw.ca/nanaimo.fhs/W052.pdf
 - has them indexed as arriving on the Virginian, 31 May 1907

 - ship list showing Rev. A. Carr, "Mrs", Harold, and Kittie arriving on this ship en route to Toronto.

I went under Halton Historical Databases and found some interesting things you may be able to follow up on.
BMD's from newspapers

Catherine Adela Carr to Mr. & Mrs. Harold Carr
Birth announcement appeared in Burlington Gazette 9 July 1924, page 1 column 4
This may be a daughter of Albert/Harold - dates would work

Harold Carr, death notice, Burlington Gazette, 14 August 1929, page 1 column 4

Paul Richard Carr
Death notice appeared in Action Free Press, 2 March 1916, page 2, column 1

Not sure as yet how to follow up but probably a good start would be Halton/Burlington Public Libraries and see if they have "Ask a Librarian" section

I assure you all that I am looking at the web sites that you have recommended and If only I had thought of looking for these sites myself but you have all taught me of how to go about browsing the internet to see what comes up for future queeries.  This queery has been such a learning experience.

I do believe that Catherine Adele is Albert and Louisas grandchild.
