Herbert Sr's obit just says "cremation".  Unfortunately, there is no indication where his ashes will be interred.   

Still not finding Priscilla.

Here is a possibility for son James - Obit for a James E Smith in the Toronto Star 9 March 1988 page D28.   It says James E Smith died at Scarborough General Hospital on March 7 1988, in his 62nd  year. Husband of Madeline nee Thompson, father of D, E, C and C.  Grandfather of 6. Brother of Herb and Fred.  Interment Glendale Memorial Gardens.

Gosh - I go off for my dinner and come back and there is all this information.

Sandra - everytime you so kindly find the details I am looking for.  You are a star, thank you.

Runkitty - thank you also for the info - Priscilla has been my brick wall.

Thank you so much

Herbert died in 1975.. Priscilla was still alive then (mentioned in his obit - Reply 4 :) ).

Herbert's obit says he had lived in Rexdale (west part of the City).  James E lived and died in Scarborough (east part of the City), but he is buried in Glendale Memorial Gardens, Etobicoke (west part of the City).  I wonder if James is buried in Etobicoke because his parents are also buried there?   It may be worth contacting Glendale to see if Herbert and Priscilla are there as well. 

Or, Priscilla may have moved away from Toronto after Herbert died?  Perhaps to Buffalo?
