Hi,

James Miller's date of death from St. Johns Norway cemetery is more likely his date of burial.  There is an obituary for him in the Globe and Mail, Dec 22 1943 edition, page 20. 

James Miller died on Dec 21 at the Toronto Western Hospital.  Husband of Jenny Miller. Father of Ellen (Mrs G Stone), Emily (Mrs A Roome), Florence (Mrs Frank Palmer), Marion (Mrs Fred Palmer) and Elsie (Mrs A Pollard).  He was in his 71st year.  Interment St. Johns Norway on the 23rd.

Her obit says that she died in July 7, 1952 at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital.  Wife of the late James.  Sister of Emily (Mrs Moore) of England.  Mother of Ellen (Mrs Stone), Florence (Mrs Palmer), Marion (Mrs Palmer) and Elsie (Mrs Pollard).  Burial at St. John's Norway on the 9th.

Daughter Emily isn't mentioned here.

Found Elsie Victoria Pollard's obit too, if you need her info :).  She died on April 29, 2000 in Port Perry.  Husband Arthur died in 1994. Children and grandchildren mentioned.  Predeceased by sisters and their husbands Florence and Frank Palmer, Marion and Fred Palmer, Nellie and George Stone, Emily and Arthur Roome (England).  She is buried in the McNeil Cemetery, Wick (this is in Brock Township... like you said in your initial post)

Arthur's obit says he died on Dec 11, 1994 in Port Perry.  He is also buried in the McNeil Cemetery.

Would it be possible to uncover a date of marriage for Arthur Pollard and Elsie Victoria Sykes? As far as I know their first child was born in 1932.
