Ah, Torrens is only a block away from Gamble as well, so the person taking the info may have thought he meant Torrance...  ;D Sorry, Chanti , this doesn't help the search much does it... but they are thorough, as they are searching for the addresses from the earlier listings. 

There are a couple of other Jones, thomases, Grocer & stonecutter at 305 Torrens, but this may not be close enough to be a clue...Just in case there may be a tie-in down the road ( mind you, looking back they lived on more addresses on Gamble)

Your first list of children didn't mention Gladys.  Do you think that the death for Gladys Cook could be yours.  Perhaps someone can look up her obituary in the Toronto Star for you and see if it contains pertinent information such as siblings.

Hi,

Glady's obit is in the Dec 2 1937 edition of the Toronto Star - at page 44.  Unfortunately, no parents or siblings mentioned, but she was 20 years old and her husband was Howard Cook of 104 (I think - it is hard to read) Gamble Avenue.  Her name her is Gladys Jones Cook and she died at the East General Hospital on Dec 1st. 

The address fits with other information in this thread for this family.

Ok so found the obits for both George jones and Emily jones in the toronto star pages from the past.

Both obituraries only mentions the childern and Gladys Jones is not one of them. I thought that I read it on a beat up obit that Gladys was. Maybe she is a cousin or something not sure except that she is buried in one of George Jones is buriel plots with a May Pengelly (Jones) My grandmas sister.

Emily jones death date is April 22, 1970 - Toronto

George Jones is death date is February 14, 1947 - Toronto

Hi,

Perhaps they only mentioned the living children in their obits?  The Gladys who may be yours died in 1937.

Have found indications that George and Emily had 10 children in all. I won't post the link as living people are mentioned but have sent a PM.
