Resthaven Memorial Gardens, Toronto
« on: Friday 30 July 21 17:20 BST (UK) »
Does anyone have any idea how I can obtain photographs of memorials?  I have asked billiongraves and findagrave, but no luck.

Surname in all cases is ARCHBELL.

George Thomas - died 19 July 1946.  Wife = Mary Elizabeth - died 30 October 1943
Harold - died 23 July 1974.  Wife = Lilian - died 16 December 1967
Kenneth George - died 23 March 1973 (died in Palm Beach, but ashes in the family grave).  Wife 1 = Marjorie, died 9 July 1950.  Wife 2 = Isabel - died 16 March 1991

Not sure that the latest deaths will be recorded yet - earlier this year.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Bee,

You might have to send Resthaven an email and request their plot numbers if you find someone to take photos.  It has never been transcribed.

Don

I have turned off all email notifications, thank you.

Many thanks, Don - I have noticed that it is quite a "large" area to cover :o  In the meantime I have followed Sandra's advice.  I'll see how it goes!

AND - I have now contacted Resthaven to see how they can help!

Chances are you may already have this but just in case - did notice this obituary for a daughter Dorothy of Harold Archbell and Lillian (nee Jones)  April 8, 1920 - September 14, 2012
This one was a cremation.

Many thanks, Sandra - added to the Archbell folder.  AND I've had an acknowledgement from Resthaven!

This looks a good possibility - Run Kitty can probably verify.
