Hi,  I can't name the people I'm researching, as some of the family may still be alive.
 
I'm wondering if there any online newspapers from Toronto that would have a report of a car accident from approx 1980 to 1990 ish. 
Also are there any online sites for marriages from approx 1970's  and deaths from approx 1980+

I've been working out the common xg grandparents between me and my 4th cousin.
It turns out that we share 2 sets of 3xg grandparents.   
My 2xg grandfather George E married my 4th cousin's 2x g Aunt Charlotte H - then Charlotte's brother, Robert H (cousin's 2xg grandfather) married Elizabeth E, who was the sister of my 2xg grandfather. So that was a sister and brother, marrying another sister and brother.

I know anything is possible in family history, but I'm curious if anyone else shares 2 sets of ggg grandparents with distant cousins?  Is this unusual or not?

Hi Mabel,
Thanks for your reply.  Yes it is Sarah ELMS,  the 2nd wife of my 2xg Uncle James ELMS who lived at Mountain Ash.  I have been trying to trace Sarah back to see if I could find her maiden name.
I found Sarah and James marriage on this site:-
http://www.rctcbc.gov.uk/en/leisurelibrariesculture/localhistoryheritage/familyhistoricalsearches/familyhistoricalsearches.aspx

Marriage
ELMS James 1908 
PHILLIPS Sarah 1908

I think Freebmd made a mistake with their marriage entry - this is what I found on Freebmd
Marriages Dec 1908   
PHILLIPS  Sarah     Pontypridd  11a 965
Marriages Dec 1908   
ELMS  James    Pontypridd  11a 935

From there I looked through all the previous census, and think I have the right Sarah PHILIPPS, but not sure.
If it is the right Sarah, she was married to Caleb PHILLIPS and lived in Aberdare, in the 1901, 1891 and 1881 census.  I went further back and found this marriage:-
Marriages Dec 1851   
Evans  Sarah    Narberth  26 105
 
Phillips  Caleb     Narberth  26 1053
 Carmarthenshire

Its confusing me that Sarah seems to change her place of birth sometimes.  That's why I'm trying to clarify about Pengros - your suggestion of Penygroes sounds good, as the previous census says that Sarah and Caleb were born  in Carmarthenshire.

For information here are Sarah and Caleb in the 1901 census

I'm still wondering if I'm on the right track with Sarah/Elms/Phillips/Evans.

Hi Janet,
Many thanks for going to the cemetery for me. 
Also thanks for the Elms names you have found for me.  I've just traced them back through the census's and don't think they are related to my Elms - though they could be way back before the 1841 census.  Will keep the names in case I can link them in the future. 

I phoned Judith Pluckmett again this afternoon at Paulton Parish Council.  She asked me to give her the grave number again, and she looked on her computer to see if that section has any headstones. Unfortunatley it hasn't, so it looks like Richard's grave is unmarked.
I explained to her that you had been looking this morning, and  I asked if she had a map of the cemetery,  she offered to meet you at the cemetery and show you the grave if you phoned her up next week.
I don't want to put you out though, seeing as you have already been, so I'll understand if you are not able to go again.

A very big thank you again.

Jan
