Robert Henry C S Chapman or Southcoat b Q4 1905 Allerthorpe, Yorkshire
« on: Sunday 27 May 18 09:48 BST (UK) »
The above was the son of Lilian Chapman who married Herbert Mitchell Southcoat 3 Mar 1908. Robert appears to have changed his surname to Southcoat after 1911 and emigrated to Canada via USA
to 6 Marchmount Rd, Toronto, 25 Nov 1947.
After that date I cannot find him or his family if he married there?

1947 Toronto Directory shows a Frank Southcote at 74 Marchmount Rd.  At the same address is a Murray Southcote.

1950 directory has Robert Southcoat, cleaner at St. Michael's Hospital, living at 208 Cunningham Av.   Frank Southcote is at 74 Marchmount Rd.  (so is Murray Southcote)

1955 directory... Robert Southcoat, cleaner at St. Micheal's Hospital, living at 64 McGill.  Frank Southcote still at 74 Marchmount Rd.   No Murray.

1964 directory... Robert Southcoat, with St. Michael's Hospital.  Living at 77 McGill.  Frank Southcote still at 74 Marchmount. 

I don't see any other possibility for the Uncle Frank Southcoat (from the obit) of Toronto.

1969 directory is the most recent one available for free on the Toronto Public Library site...

It shows Frank Southcote still at 74 Marchmount Rd.   Earlier listings said "gro" next to his name...so perhaps he was a grocer?

Must be the right Frank....

I had a look at the New York passenger list for the Queen Mary, April 1948, leaving from Southampton (found by Sandra in Reply 1 above).

Line 8 has Robert H Southcoat 43, janitor... on the next page, Robert gives the name/address of nearest friend or relative etc etc... he lists Uncle Frank Southcoat of 74 Marchmount Road, Hull ??? ???. 

Hull is questionable!!  I think it should say Toronto.  In any case, the 74 Marchmount Road address fits with the Frank Southcote in the directories.  Must be him.

Murray could very likely be the son of Frank.

I wonder if this is him... Murray Franklyn Southcote.. University of Toronto, class of 1950.  He gradutated with an engineering degree.  He lists aeronautics as an interest... so I wonder if he moved to the USA at some point?

There is a scholarship in his name at U of T.   Looks like he died around 1965.

I see a record on Billiongraves for a Murray F Southcote 1924-1964 in California. 

Also see him on findagrave...
