1921 Census - Athol Bruce Mitchell

[*Sandra*]

Can't see anything for him - presume he may have travelled with the Canadian Army and it wasn't recorded   

See there is an obit listed for the sister Audrey

Hello Sandra,

Hello again.

Here is a bit of info about immigration records after 1935. I suspect there wouldn't be any records for Bruce if he was travelling with the Army. There might be something for Margaret if that is of interest.

Another place to look for Margaret is the PIER 21 website. This is for immigrants who came into Canada through Halifax, as opposed to other ports. I don't remember what years are covered but WW2 war brides can be found. The website has changed in recent times, however, so I'm not sure how accessible anything is now.

When I found the family in the 1921 census, I actually only keyed in Norman with parents William and Catherine, no last names, and clicked on results from Toronto for the last name Henry just because. I guess I cued into Henry as the second name of William or something  .

Added: it appears that the tree on Ancestry has the wrong family for the 1921 census.  Most of the rest seems OK but they seem to have omitted Evelyn. It is advisable to use caution when looking at online trees.

Also, the Toronto Star Archives website is pay to view but very inexpensive and you can buy short time periods. If I remember correctly, you can use the index for free .... you only need pay to see the record. I'm not sure how recent the archives go, however.

Hi,

I don't know if you have looked in the Star yet... but using the dates from the tree that Sandra found, you can see Bruce's obit in the 19 Jan 1994 edition, page B18. 

He is listed as Bruce A.  He died in New Brunswick on Jan 17 1994.  Husband of the late Margaret.  Father of A (Mrs. R Arsenault), B (Mrs J Morton), T (female, I think), T (Mrs N Arsenault), and M (male).  Friend of Wanda.  Brother of Evelyn, Helen, Audrey, Kathleen, Ness, William and Norm.  Grandfather of 8, Great grandfather of 6.  Cremation, no mention of burial location.

Hi - you said you couldn't read Audrey's obit in the Star.  In addition to the date that Sandra gave you, it is also in the March 18, 2001 edition, page F6.  Maybe you can see that page better. 

When you find an image on the Star site, you can increase the size of the image to make it easier to read -- the site gives you the full page, so individual notices can be hard to read if you don't make the image larger. 

Audrey Jean Livie died in Peterborough on March 16, 2001.  She was in her 89th year.  Wife of the late Peter Livie (1986).  Mother of R (wife K) of Peterborough.  3 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren are listed by name.  Sister of Norm, Helen, and Eve.  Predeceased by sisters Nes and Dimp and brothers Bill and Bruce.  Interment St. John's Norway Cemetery, Toronto.

Hi again,

I looked for Helen's obit but didn't find it until I searched for Norman!!  The Star site is great , but searches don't always work the way you think they will!!

Helen Lillian Jeffrey (nee Mitchell)  -- in the Star, April 4, 2002 edition, page B6.  She died April 3, 2002, in her 99th year.  Wife of the late George Henry Jeffrey.  Mother of B. Di Gregorio, A. Sparks and H. Teeter  (all 3 are female).  Predeceased by her children George, Florence Millar and Murray.  Dear sister of Norman Mitchell, Evelyn Tracey and the late Annie (Nessie) Taylor, William, Kathleen (Dimple) Slean, Audrey Livie and Bruce.  Interment Prospect Cemetery (Toronto).

PS - still can't find Norman or Evelyn.

Oh my giddy aunt your on a roll.  This is just so fantastic thank you but  I can't seem to navigate the star site! Ggrrr ..... I am also trying to find information on Gladys Irene Bezeau (1915-1946)  married Henry Joseph Morton (1909 - 1990) both of these are Canada.
