Title: Obituary for death in Montreal look up please
Post by: Sue15 on Thursday 16 February 17 22:19 GMT (UK)

Hello
I wonder if anyone could kindly look to see if there were any obituaries in any Montreal newspapers or know of any websites I could try for the following people. They had lived at 7377 Rue Drolet

Ada Quinn nee Fitzgerald died 8 June 1978 widow of Edward Hamilton Quinn

Edward John Fitzgerald died 1 October 1974 - brother of Ada

Edward Hamilton Quinn died 30 March 1939 ( he had been previously married to Mary Ellen Cleary who died pre 1911)

My aim ultimately is to try to find out if Ada and Edward Quinn had any children.

I know they are all buried in Mount Royal Cemetery

Any information gratefully received

kind wishes and thanks

Just joined Roots Chat and read your comment wondering if Ida and Edward Quinn had children.
No they did not.  He had children from his first marriage.
