Does anyone have access to the transcriptions of the Toronto Necropolis and crematorium York County (City of Toronto)?

I am looking for the details of:

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.

http://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.

A great service!

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.
