Resting at the William Sherwin funeral home, 873 Kingston Rd Toronto. Service in the chapel on Saturday at 2.30 pm. Interment St John's cemetery, Norway.

Will attempt to send via PM

Wrong DOB on headstone would just be what the stonemason was told - unless perhaps he made a mistake, and the family couldn't afford or be bothered to have it changed..

The correct DOB is on her death cert.

Can you post the obit for Elizabeth please?

The record you mention for Harry Joseph RUBERTS, is actually the son William's marriage record, on which Harry is named.

I found this on Ancestry but can’t access it.

I don’t know when she emigrated.

I have the burial details for Harry and child.

When did Elizabeth emigrate?

No marriage for Elizabeth and Harry showing up on Ancestry.

The other records mentioned are on Ancestry.

Do you have Harry's death/burial?

Aren’t these records held by the Ontario Archives?

According to their website they are in ‘partnership’ with Ancestry.

Hi. I'm looking for a marriage record for Elizabeth/ Lizzie andHenry/Harry.
They had two children born in Ontario. Albert Henry born 1906 and William Ernest born 1908. I do know when William married his address was 189 Danforth Road,
Toronto. I know these are the correct people as I found the same address for Elizabeth in a bible owned by another relative. Elizabeth was born 1885 in Cleethorpes. The grave I found does have her DOB a month out but I'm pretty sure it's her. Death 2nd May 1951. TIA
