Obit for Brenda Anderson sometime between 1912-1921 Toronto area

[Darnity]

Brenda Anderson, her husband Fred and adopted son (born Montague Douglas Bissell England Mar Q 1910) known as Doug arrived in Canada from England on the Empress of Ireland in April 1912.

The 1921 Census shows Fred, a widower, with his young son Doug at 31 Graham Avenue in the developing Mount Dennis, Toronto, area.

They are in the same house as their friends William and Minnie Eck, whom they had travelled with on the Empress, along with William and Minnie's son William and their daughter Erna.

Graham Avenue appears to be renamed Emmett Avenue sometime between the 1921 Census and April 1926 when 31 Emmett Ave is given as the address of the groom when young William Eck mentioned above married.

Please can anyone find any info about Brenda's death?

Thanks

It looks like Brenda died 26 Aug 1920 and was buried in Park Lawn Cemetery 30 Aug 1920.

If you have access the full death cert is available on ancestry. It should be available on the free familysearch website as well.

Many thanks PolarBear.

I'm assuming that Fred, having only recently lost his wife, would have found it convenient to stay with William and Minnie at this time (1921) so that she could provide childcare for young Doug whilst Fred worked.

Thanks again.
