Obit Ontario 1962
« on: Tuesday 12 September 23 04:17 BST (UK) »
Looking for an obituary for Clara (Watson) Harvey, she married James Arthur Harvey in UK 1900.
I have found a picture of Head stone in Prospect Cemetery Toronto, Clara died 28th December 1962 & James died 16th June 1944.
I have found 1911 Canadian Census living in Durham Toronto.
Also 1921 Census living in York south Ontario.

Aren't you looking for an obit for Clara Harvey - not Clara Watson?

Obit in the Toronto Star, Dec 29 1962 page 29. 

It says she died at 281 McConvey Dr, Richmond Hill, Friday Dec 28, 1962.   Clara Watson, beloved wife of the late James Arthur Harvey.  Dear mother of Marjorie (Mrs G. W. Shaw).  Grandmother of J.   Interment Prospect Cemetery.

Obituary for James in the Toronto Star on 16 Jun 1944, page 22

It says James Arthur Harvey died at St Joseph's Hospital on Friday Jun 1944.  Husband of Clara Harvey and father of Mrs G W Shaw (Marjorie).  Interment Prospect Cemetery

This obit is really hard to read.   It says how old he was, but I am unable to make it out.

Looks like they had just the one daughter who married a Mr Shaw before 1944, her fathers death.
And a grandchild  J? After that and before her mothers death.

Is there any sign of Marjorie after her mother passed in 1962????
