hi, I have tried "TheStar /pages of the past" for marriages and deaths of Dorothy or Betty or William Richardson with no success for years 1930-1970. I read lots of notices but not them! so, I must conclude that the family did not advertise in The Star. Are there other newspapers with Archives that can be searched for marriages and deaths? I think they might have advertised because one birth was entered in a Victoria paper for 1919. William Richardson [born 1887] lived in Toronto [Castelfield ave] from at least 1928 up to 1955 and was not there in 1960. I am trying to narrow this final period down, but could not find a death notice for him. What about Globe & Mail or the Telegram? any websites for their archives? How do I go about asking Service Ontario to search a 5 year period for death? about 1960? His 2 daughters might have married...first tho, I will try to find them living independently in Toronto about 1936-1940. thanks liz of BC

Liz Intellisearch at the Toronto Reference Library would do a search in the Globe& Mail and Telegram papers but there is a charge for this service. These papers are not digitized and a staff member has to do intensive searching.

Morning everyone ... The Gkobe and Mail is digitzed, and is in a similiar format to searching The Toronto Star "Pages of the Past". The Toronto Telegram is not online: it is poorly microfilmed (and for some years the classifieds were not filmed - and it was the classifieds pages that included the births, marriages and deaths .... grrrrrrrr!). However I havce heard that there a "plans" to have it digitized (but from the microfilm grrrrr again!!! The Telegram needs to be re-microfilmed from the originals - if indeed they still exist and were not destroyed after the microfilming. . Finally the Copyright to the Toronto Telegram is currently owned by Corporation that owns the Toronto Sun. ----- Original Message ----- From: "V.M.
