Thanks for looking all, but Esther still remains a mystery. I did have all the siblings information. I do have an address in  Charles David obituary 526 Rhode Avenue. It appears he died at his daughters home, but which one?

Hmmm another Ivy ? Ivy Laidler ?  Sister Ivy Simpson was the one who passed in 1950 ?

Strange. Wonder if its a sister-in-law ?  I think Thomas Smith and Kenneth Smith would step-brothers from his mothers second marriage to Thomas Smith.
Mother Emily Clarke/Skelcy/Smith died 4 January 1936

No one mentioning Esther/Hester ?

Carol - did Esther have a sister Doris Skelcy  ..??
Born 1 July 1905 - Rugby, Warwickshire, England
Deceased in 1974 - Perth County, Ontario, Canada, aged 69 years old
 
Spouses and children
With William Reginald Riordan 1905-1976 with
a son  William Reginald Riordan

and for the record - my cousin lives in Perth - I live in Liverpool ,England - my wife and I visited Perth around 15 years ago - I fell in love with the place - so laid back - but my wife said it was too quiet  :)

I used to live near the town of Perth.  It is not in Perth county (Ontario), though, which is is southern Ontario.  Same confusion with the town of Elgin which is in eastern Ontario and the county of Elgin in southern Ontario.

Yep, we have a hard time with the use of duplicate names in Ontario.

Canada Voters List 1974 - Only mentions a retired Mrs Helen Wroe - RR1 Keswick

Canada Voters List 1972 - George A Wroe - Retired -   969 Metro Road. RR! Keswick and
Mrs Ellen E Wroe - maybe sounds like a reasonable possibility ?

Could George A Wroe have passed away between 1972 - 1974  ?
