William Brown Dobbin either died Feb 26, 1936 in Lambton, Ontario or 1946 in  Toronto. Looking to confirm date of death and parents' names. William married Emily aka Emma Taylor July 11, 1887 in York Co., Ontario. All children born Toronto. Emily may have also died in 1936 in Lambton or 1944 in Toronto.
Thanks for any help in sorting this out.

In the 1901 census, also in the household is a Thos. Dobbin, born 21 February 1873 in Ireland, a brother to William, had arrived in Canada in 1895, working as a clerk(?).  I'm having difficulty pulling up his birth on Irishgenealogy.ie since it seems it's been misindexed. I did, however, find a possible marriage in 1914 in Norfolk County, Ontario naming his parents as Robert Dobbin & Elizabeth Lennox.  He was 42 and a bachelor.  Wife's name was Mary Elizabeth Jeffrey.

He dies in 1939 in Kitchener with his parents' names given as the same; informant was his wife.

Interesting death record for Eliza in Newtownards with informant being her son Hugh Brown Dobbin:

Disregard this reply.  Different family.
