Actually Mike's reply prompted me to suggest you get death certificates I finally found my gt...uncle who died Toronto in 1930s and the info on your death certificates was great if I did not already have the info I would have been given my gt gt parent's info and including their address is in N Ireland, even though they had been dead for some 20 years. So worth getting the Canadian death certificates.

You did not say what religion they were? Check the local County history to see if any other famileis or Minister's came in this period. This MAY give you the general background to see where your family came from. So if the county history says that people from Belfast, Ballymoney, etc came in certain years, those towns regions maybe an starting point.
