Hi Max, Thanks. That was it for Theopoulus. The keystroke was bad for the second digit of the volume and it is hard to even read on the index page. The entry is now fixed. With the family of Florence in Quebec, I'm not surprised to see a return of death was sent. In the Montreal records, they don't record deaths, they record burials. A fact that is a real problem for my personal research. I have four Scottish great-great grandparents that most likely die in Montreal between 1901 and 1909 (one for sure), but I can't find a record of their burial there, so there is no record of their deaths. Of course, they would have names of James Elliot (wife Marjory Falconer) and George Nelson (wife Elizabeth Gibson), making it a challenge to find them. One day that will happen and hopefully I can figure out their parents' names so I can find them in Scotland. Best of luck on your personal research.
