I am replying to your post to let you know what I have, and because of the name Florence and the mother's name Elizabeth. Also because Horace's initial is "A" and it could stand for Arthur. grandmother --- Florence Elizabeth Davies died Sept. 1962 in Pickering, Ontario. No siblings listed in obituary. I believe she was born in the mid - early 1890's. My father was born in 1915 so I figure her age at time of marriage 16 - 20?? great uncle --- Horace A. Davies brother of Florence (Mrs. Robert Frost) died Jan. 15, 1951 in Toronto. He was married to Ellen Clarke. His obituary lists no other siblings. I just located the obituary for Horace from the Toronto Star, I also found his children's names and deaths. I took a subscription out with the Star for a month and it gave me a little help. I have been trying to search out the 1911 census for the Davies but have not been successful as it still needs to be transcribed. I know that Florence & Horace's mother owned one of the big homes on Jarvis Street, so I believe they must have lived in the downtown area of Toronto. Have you found any information since you posted your query? Gladys
