Richard Kenneth Brake's obit doesn't help much.  He died Jan 13 1984 - the result of a car accident on Dec 24 1983.   He was the president and owner of Alumaloy Casting Limited.   He went by the name Ken.   He had been commodore of the Toronto Sailing and Canoe Club.  He was a member of the Royal Canadian Yacht Club and of the Alexandra Yacht Club.   He was 82.   He was survived by his wife Elizabeth.   No mention of children, inlaws etc.

Ann McKinley is at the Sackville address up to the 1932 Toronto Directory, but not seeing her afterwards.

I wonder if there is an obituary for Hugh Jamieson - died 1977 in Palm Beach, buried Parry Sound?   See Eileen's earlier post with all the information.

When Elsie Kirkham's mother Blanche died in 1958, Elsie is listed as Mrs H Jamieson.   

I am not seeing an obvious obituary for Elizabeth Kerr Semple Jamieson.   IF this is the right Hugh Jamieson - Elizabeth either died, or divorced before 1958.

Find-a-Grave has them buried together with Elsie's death in 1996 (if I'm reading the tombstone correctly):

Seems this topic has been discussed before with Ann McKinlay being buried with Elizabeth Brake at Mount Pleasant:

When Ann married Richard McKinlay, her parents' first names were correct -- Hugh & Agnes, but Bertram was her mother's maiden name.

AHA - there you go!    Well done Eileen.   I think you have certainly found Annie.   Likely Hugh too.  I missed that other thread with lots of duplicated information.   Thanks for posting that link!   Looks like I couldn't find an obit for Annie in 2018 either!!

Still haven't found Annie and Elizabeth coming to Canada tho .... it would be interesting to know what name they were using ... maybe Bertram?

Good work Run Kitty!
