Thanks Carole, i've actually got all of Williams other records, DOB, Parents etc, it was only his 2nd marriage to Gwen in Ontario I was missing  ;)

Close match on the parents marriage, but not quite a match.  His parents were Joseph Edwards and Annie Wright married in Auckland, Country Durham, England 1898  ;D

What did you use as your search Criteria Sandra? I've tried searching for William Wright Edwards (with and without quotes), used a date range, set country to United states, filtered by obituaries and no filter at all, and i can't get a match for that funeral you found?

Just want to make sure i'm not missing any tips or tricks which it looks like i might be!

For the marriage, basic Canada info - Gwendolyn Wanda Wilson - birth 19-05 =/- 5 years - Ontario.

United States - William W Edwards - 1899 - Minnesota and up popped the death date in Minnesota.

Went to Newspapers.Com (have subscription) and with the help of the death date, the death/obit appeared.
