Help finding a death please.*COMPLETED WITH THANKS*
« on: Saturday 16 April 11 05:26 BST (UK) »
Hi all,

I am trying to find the death of Williamina McFedries, I know she was still  alive in 1981. She had a daughter Irene McFedries who passed away in 1999.
They both lived in Toronto (Northcliffe Boulevard). Any help would be much appreciated.

Kind regards

You could try looking for an obituary at Pages of the Past - http://pagesofthepast.ca/ - which is a pay site for the archives of the Toronto Star. You can purchase a subscription for as little as one hour.

 Ellen  McFEDRIES,.                       codeHM-295-1

Hi Leandra,

Her obituary is in the Toronto Star on August 22, 1983.  She died on August 20, 1983 at Northwestern General Hospital.  The only family members mentioned are her late husband William and her daughter Irene.  She was buried at Prospect Cemetery.  It looks like she went by the name "Mina".

If you don't have it, the Toronto Star obituary index at Ancestry indicates there is an obituary for daughter Irene. She died 5 Jan 1999.
