Tindall family Ontario

[Lisa in California]

I checked a couple of Ancestry trees; the trees did not include the 1921 Canadian census.

Perhaps you already have Albert W in 1921?  (I had trouble finding the family in 1921.)  Using Ancestry, I searched for Abe Mullen, Crawford (Street).  Three listings down from Mr. Mullen is part of the Tindall family.

Explanation:
According to the city directories, Albert W.’s residence in 1920 and 1921 was 71 Massey Street (Toronto).  In 1922, it was 79 Crawford.  The 1921 census has his address as 75 Crawford.

[Apologies for the confusing post; I was trying to sum up the findings - since I couldn’t find Tindall, I searched the 1921 census for Mullen, hoping that Tindall would be on the same image.]

That’s great, thank you. Funnily enough, I found a Lucretia TINDALL listed in the 1943 Greater Toronto street directory at Cedarville Ave. but ‘my’ Lucretia died in October 1942. Could it still be the same person?

[HH]

Thank you both, Lisa and Carole. I’ve looked at all the links and managed to fill in a number of gaps. Still so many unanswered questions though!
When did Earle marry Grace? What more can be found about Melodie? I think his son David married so what do we know of that? And what was Earle doing in England in 1944?? Could he have been in the forces or at a conference?
I’m in touch with someone whose grandmother was William Tindall’s sister so lots of info from them.
I love puzzles! 😁

Regarding your question about the street directory…

It is my understanding that the directory for a given year was compiled and printed in the year prior so perhaps this would be why your Lucretia was still listed the year after her death?

Thank you. I had a feeling that might be the case. It’s an unusual name so it’s most likely to be her.

Hi,

I think this is a time frame for your William.

1923 he crosses the border headed to Philiadelphia
1931 census he is in East York with all his family
These two you have already.

Then
1940 Canada Voters Lists he is in Greenwood, Toronto
Tindall, William, electrician
Tindall, Mrs. William
Tindall, Miss Marjory

1957 and 1958 Voters Lists he is in East York, Toronto
Tindall, William, electrician
Tindall, Mrs. Charlotte

1965 Voters Lists he is in Rosedale, Toronto
Tindall, William, bldg. superintendent
Tindall, Charlotte

Adding deaths taken from online trees for William and Charlotte as someone may come along who has a sub. to newspapers and find the obits. for them.  Which may also help in finding Marjorie's married name/location, as Ontario marriages are privacy protected after 1940.

William's death as 17 Feb. 1978 in Toronto
Charlotte's death 27 April 1984 Scarborough, Ontario.

Thank you again. I’ll be putting this info on my tree. Marjorie married someone called Eric but that’s all I know. H

Dbree has brought my attention to the Tindall family.  Here are the obits for William and Charlotte, which gives Marjorie's married name:
