HI, its nearly a year since we communicated, but thought you would like to know that I have had a reply from the cemetery. William was buried there on July 7th 1941 and I think Annie is buried with him. Her death was Oct. 17th 1961.  I was so pleased to get a reply after all this time. I think the first email I sent got forgotten!!
I can find no further info. on Gertrude other than she married Eric Field. He died in 1944. I am unable to find another marriage for her and neither can I find a death although she appears to be on the electoral register for district of York East in 1968.

Glad the cemetery was able to answer your question.

I looked for an obit for Annie, using the date of death provided by the cemetery.  Unfortunately, there don't seem to be any editions of the Toronto Star available between Oct 15 and Oct 31 of that year.   .  I have no idea why!

Hello again.  Thought you might be interested to know that I have once again been in touch with St Johns cemetery.  They have informed me that Stanley E Field died in November !944.  Buried with him is Mrs Thelma Field (Murdock) who died aged 58 yrs on Dec. 16th 1970.  There was a headstone which read'In Loving Memory of Stanley Field 1907-1944.  Beloved Husband of Thelma Hopewell  At Rest.'

The only thing I think I have to do now is to look for a marriage between Thelma and somebody with the surname Murdock!

Pleased you found her.
