Good Morning: The following sites should provide information and help with your search. http://www.archives.gov.on.ca/english/interloan/c-willsfaq.htm The above will give you information re locating a Will. http://www.toronto.ca/archives/city_directories.htm The above will give you information so that on your arrival you can look up her name and cross ref for address, as well as property Assessment rolls in the event she and husband owned their home. http://www.torontopubliclibrary.ca/ask_index.jsp The above site offers an "Ask a Librarian" link where you can email a request to look in the Toronto city directory for Isabella's 1961 address (hopefully she was not in a residence or hospital). http://pagesofthepast.ca/Default.asp The above is for The Toronto Star newspaper where you could take a 2 hours inexpensive subscription to look up an obituary/death notice for Arthur and for Isabella which would likely identify burial location. You can also write requesting information re their burial to the following non-catholic cemetery: Mount Pleasant Cemetery 375 Mount Pleasant Road Toronto, Ontario M4T 2V8 416-485-9129 Or to the Catholic one: Mount Hope Catholic Cemetery 305 Erskine Avenue Toronto, ON M4P 1Z7 (416) 483-4944 And finally the Bank of Canada lists unclaimed balances of bank accounts which you can search at: http://www.bank-banque-canada.ca/en/index.html .........
