Looking for an obituary for Clara (Watson) Harvey, she married James Arthur Harvey in UK 1900.
I have found a picture of Head stone in Prospect Cemetery Toronto, Clara died 28th December 1962 & James died 16th June 1944.
I have found 1911 Canadian Census living in Durham Toronto.
Also 1921 Census living in York south Ontario.

Aren't you looking for an obit for Clara Harvey - not Clara Watson?

Yes, I am. I guess I should reword that.

Obituary for James in the Toronto Star on 16 Jun 1944, page 22
It says James Arthur Harvey died at St Joseph's Hospital on Friday Jun 1944. Husband of Clara Harvey and father of Mrs G W Shaw (Marjorie). Interment Prospect Cemetery
This obit is really hard to read. It says how old he was, but I am unable to make it out.

Looks like they had just the one daughter who married a Mr Shaw before 1944, her fathers death.
And a grandchild J? After that and before her mothers death.
Is there any sign of Marjorie after her mother passed in 1962????

1944 Toronto Directory, there is a J A Harvey, employee of Canada Packers, address 923 St. Clair Ave W.
1946 Toronto Directory, Clara Harvey (Wid of J A Harvey) is listed at that address.
