Hi When I visited Peterborough in Ontario I was staying at the Holiday Inn and behind it near a small lake there was a cemetary and I noticed the name DARLING on Grave Stones as we took our daily walk. At that time I had little interest in Family History so did not take any notes. The reason I remember is that I knew a number of people by the name of DARLING as I live in Berwick upon Tweed. For those interested this may be a point of contact.
