Hi Phyllis,

Do you have a year of birth for Marion? There are a couple on the passenger lists, so birth year would help narrow it down.

Thank You Karen,
I can't get the information to come up on the cemetery sight. I get a message " No matching records found" Unfortunately i don't know Marion's date of birth. My father was born 1914 & Jane 1915, so her birth is before that. I have very little informaton on dads siblings. The date I have for her & dads last communication was on the post mark of the envelope, 1960/3.
Thats All I have.
Thank you so much, Phyllis :)

There is someone at "Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness", willing to take stills of the cemetery stones at Woodland Cemetery.
There are others willing to do lookups in the newspapers and public records as well.
(look under Hamilton or Hamilton Wentworth or Burlington)
just a note, some will charge for lookups, while others won't

Thank You Janice & Irishpoppy1,
for that information, there seems to be quite a few in the family. There was no mention of his son Walter, maybe they know him by another name.
I'm feeling a bit sad again.
I appreciate the trouble you have gone to, in finding & passing on that info to me.
Cheers, Phyllis
