William & Charles Shortt (brothers)
« on: Wednesday 14 March 12 08:27 GMT (UK) »
William died in Brockville, Leeds, Ontario Died, 26/2/1909 I was hoping to find a photo of a grave but I've been unable to ascertain where  he was buried. He was born in Ireland and was a clergyman. 

Charles died in Bruce, Ontario, in 1903.  I have no other information but would love to locate a photo of his grave too. He was also buried in Ireland.  They are the sons of Jonathan Shortt and Ann Antisell.

Kind regards,

The Ontario Cemetery Finding Aid (http://ocfa.islandnet.com/ocfa-search.php) lists several people named William Shortt buried in Ontario.  Have you contacted the Brockville Public Library to see if they can provide you with a copy of William's obituary?

The death record for his brother Charles states that he died on 1 Mar 1903.  The OCFA lists a Charles Shortt buried in Walkerton Protestant Cemetery, Brant Township, Bruce, Ontario.  You could perhaps contact the cemetery for more information.

Thanks so much Linda for your help.  I'll see if I can locate the library.
