My great uncle James Kernahan/Kernaghan passed away 20 Nov 1911 in Rocklyn. Is there any way to track down his obituary? I've contacted the Toronto library and their suggestion was to use this board :)
Many thanks!

Perhaps if you contact the Grey Roots Museum and Archives. They might be able to assist in tracing back to find the 1911 obituary.

Here are a couple links to "The Flesherton Advance" paper which mention James.

The first is a report of a neighbour losing both feet while threshing at James' farm on Nov. 16th.

Nov 23 1911 paper ---------- event would have been 16 Nov,1911

The second just has a mention of James passing in last column of news.

Nov 30, 1911 paper

Perhaps the events of the 16th played a part in his demise. His cause of death (on register) is cardiac failure so the accident may have played a role.

Thank you so much- I wasn't expecting a quick turn around :) James was one of 9 brothers and I am hoping some day, some where I will find all of their names; currently have 5 identified.

Thanks again!

You're welcome, for what it was worth - no official obit.
He is a hard fellow to track. He was on the 1861 Agricultural Census (or someone with same initials) in Euphrasia, Grey. At least 2 of his children that have marriages registered online were born (after 1861) in York (one in Markham). Can't find him at all in 1871, but 1881 he is back in Euphrasia.
You have your work cut out for you.
Good Luck.

I have, thank you. I have one more brother to find an obit for to see if it will list siblings. Not holding out much hope though.
