I know this is really vague but can anyone look up a death in Toronto .The name is Peter A Symington b 1902 Scotland .I believe he was in St. Paul’s electoral district in 1974 Thank you .....more in hope than expectation

Death records that recent are not available to the general public.  The Peter Symington in 1974 is noted as a nursing attendant.  A newspaper article from 1977 about his work with a disabled individual shows him to be alot younger than yours who would have been 74 at the time.

1921 Census shows a Peter Symington, aged 19, born Scotland, emigrated 1920, working as a laborer on a farm in Manitoba. I do actually see him arriving in 1913 likely with a group of Home Children and perhaps with his brother Andrew W.  He came with a party from Quarriers Homes.

When Andrew attested for his WWI service in 1916, he was living in Bells Corner, Ontario and his brother Peter was his next of kin living in Cobden, Ontario.  These are both in eastern Ontario.

Andrew Watson Symington crossed into the US in 1921 bound for his uncle Peter Symington in Minnesota. He had been living in Hamilton, Ontario and his next of kin at home is his brother Peter also living in Hamilton.

His WWI service record also names his sister Miss Sarah Symington, 13 Park Avenue, Dundee, Scotland as his new next of kin.

His Peter Anderson Symington was the son of John Symington who died in 1909 and Margaret Hannah according to his online tree, so perhaps a relationship, but I don't think it's the right one.  His Peter is in Manitoba in 1921, as his brother Andrew,who must have returned from Minnesota after visiting his uncle Peter, altho' I can't find any further reference to Uncle Peter.
