Maria Lacey

[dawnyj]

I am trying to locate the death of my Gr Gr Aunt Maria Lacey.  I have found her husbands death in 1937 and she states on the death record that they are living at 24 Grant Street, York, Toronto. He was apparently being buried at Mount Pleasant cemetery, although his name is not listed on the cemetery website.

His death record was wrongly transcribed and names him as Jolen Lacey instead of the correct name John.

Maria was born in about 1857, Bilston, England. She lived for a while in Albert Street Montreal before moving to York, Toronto.

I have also been unable to find the Canadian 1921 census record either .... :/ any help from anyone would be welcomed!!

that's very helpful thankyou

Ontario death registrations are only publicly available up to about 1939 with a new year added annually.

You might consider contacting Mount Pleasant Cemetery directly to a) inquire about John and b) to inquire whether Maria is buried there also and hopefully be given a date of death if she is. You have a death and burial date for John so that should be helpful.

Could you provide some more details? John's year of birth, names of any children etc.
