I am seeking details for a Richard Farrow born to a Thomas Farrow & Ann Ferguson in Toronto, Canada just after WW1 somewhere between 1919 and 1922. Richard lived in Toronto, Canada until his death. Unfortunately, I do not know when he died. And information appreciated.

Alice Esther Fox/Warfe 18811958
born 4 November 1881 - Fairbanks, York Township, York County, Ontario.

Maybe an obit which may give a clue on the daughter/grand-children ?
