    As we have many new members since I originally posted thought I would bump this up.

    I don't have a copy, nor does our local genealogy group, but perhaps one of our Toronto friends lives or works close to these libraries:

    Doug,
    I just remembered that the Toronto Library has an "Ask a Librarian" service, available by email.

    https://www.torontopubliclibrary.ca/ask_adu_index.jsp

    # look up dates, names, spellings, definitions, brief biographical or historical information
    # check up to three titles in the Toronto Public Library catalogue
    # check up to three years of a city directory for a single name or street address
    # locate addresses/phone numbers for businesses, associations and government
    # suggest other information sources

    I'm not sure if their service extends to this kind of research, but may be worth a try.

    That's wonderful! Although I'm sure it was half your doing. I imagine that you framed the question well, which probably put you at the top of what must be a long to-do list.
