The tree probably mine, I haven't researched much lately. I need to get back into it

Perhaps you could contact the cemetery to see what burial information they have.  Some of them give a really good and quick response (hopefully without charges)
The obituary expert Run Kitty might pick something up - it looks like 1962 or not much later would be the likely area to look for dates.

Hi, vandab:

Here are my suggestions, which have worked for me in the past.

1) Contact the local library and tell them what you're looking for. Ask if they have any indexes of obituaries in the local paper or of the local cemeteries that they could check for you.

The Georgina Public Library has a Keswick branch, so that might be a good first try: http://www.georginalibrary.ca/en/index.aspx .

Some librarians will do a quick 15-minute look-up for free. You'd have to ask about their fees upfront. Even if they charge something, it won't be much.

2) If their son lived in Toronto, you might also want to check the Toronto Star archives for their obituaries, just in case the parents lived there before they moved to Keswick. I can't figure out where to find the website, but I'm someone here will know (it might be listed in the Ontario resources).

3) You could also contact nursing homes in Newmarket and ask them for help. It should be easy to compile a contact list via the internet.

4) You could contact funeral homes in the Keswick and Newmarket area.

5) You could contact cemeteries in the Keswick and Newmarket area, although my guess is that this is less than a sure bet, since it's possible they might have been buried in Toronto.

Good luck!

Regards,
Josephine

Hopefully another relative might just pop up with the dates you need 

You probably already have this one. Have you tried to locate the names listed using http://www.canada411.ca/  or social media sites.
