Thank you Sandra but it begs the question who is Miss Minnie Downes?

Hi,

I'd say Aunt.

From eileen's reply #1 Samuel marries Lorna C. Stuart in 1923.

Lorna on the 1921 Census, Toronto 245 Wellesley St.
Downes, George, head, age 78
Downes, Cecilia, wife, age 75
Downes, Minnie, daughter, age 40, single
Stuart, Cecila, daughter age 53, married
Stuart, Lorna, age 25, grand daughter

On the death cert. of Lorna's mother Cecelia Stuart, Samuel is the informant (son-in-law) and
gives his address as 245 Welsely (same as the 1921 census).
