I am sure that "the Soo" is Sault Ste Marie as "the Peg" is Winnipeg. In 1943 Art McQuarrie would have been 55. My guess is that he died prior to 1947 or so since I don't remember ever meeting or hearing about him. My bet is that he died somewhere in ON, but by then had nothing other than niece or nephews. He is not buried in Saskatoon, that I have researched. I have been off the Ontario list and searching for a few years now, busy working on the other side of the family. I just think that there may be some other recourse than to pay for a 5 year search at Thunder Bay probably 2 times to get 10 years. At least most of the heavy traffic for birth certificates may be over. My last death cert. in Thunder Bay took over 9 months.
