    Default Obituary's in Ontario Canada

    Looking to trace family maybe through obituary's.
    My Gt aunt emigrated to Canada in 1914 Her name was Nellie Power Clarke b 1896
    She married Harold Hilder Edwards on 16 Aug 1920 in York Ontario.
    I know they had a daughter born 1921 who died in 1926 i do not know if they had any more children.
    I do not know how to find out when they died or they maybe divorced and remarried. As i said i do not know how to find out these things.
    I believe Nellie was still alive in 1953 she would have been 57
    Any help would be welcome

    What i dont understand is that they had a daughter named Joan Blanche who was born in 1922 and died 1922 according to the below. Unless the above Joan Blanche died as well but i cant find a birth or death for her.

    Below information taken from familysearch.
