Good morning everyone
Would someone be able to look Obits for the following people please?
Agnes (could have been known as Aggie) Black (Mrs)
died 22 November 1968 in York, Ontario
(Went to Canada in 1907 with her husband...
Thomas Wilfred Black - died ???
They married on 24 March 1910 in Ontario (would it be possible to find their marriage certificate maybe?)
Sarah Ann Bonner (Mrs)
died East York, Ontario and buried in Toronto Municipality, Ontario - 15 February 1951
her husband was Joseph Bonner - died ???
I don't know when she emigrated to Canada but she was in Ireland in 1901 age 21 (and Agnes was 14 in 1901) both born in Ireland.
I will continue to see if I can find anything online but someone may be quicker than me and know straight away where to go - LOL
Many thanks
She is the sister of Agnes (both born Courtney)

No luck with the obits but I'm sure RK will be along shortly to help.

Hi Sandra
Many thanks, strange she's down as Sarah A Courtney and not as Bonner - unless they never actually married maybe?
I was going to look at your site for children that were sent to Canada but it keeps telling me the site is unsafe?
Kind regards

LOL, you must have read my mind

Hi Sandra and RunKitty
Many thanks for all the information you have searched for me.
I was hoping the "girls" Obits would say something more about their parents and siblings :(
Are Marriage certificates online for Ontario?
But I have lots more information thanks to you on their families.
Kind regards
