Gerald Thompson & Beulah Sara (Jannack/Thompson/McCormick.)

I am looking for information on my paternal grandparents, Gerald Eugene McCormick & Beulah Sara (Jannack/Thompson/McCormick?). They lived in Toronto, at one point, and had three sons; Gerald, Peter, and Patrick (1959).

My grandfather was born in Erinsville (about 1919) and died in Toronto (1972). I don't know much about him except that he was an alcoholic and was buried by the city.

My grandmother was born in Matilda, Dundas, ON (1921). Her parents were George Vernon Jannack and her mother was Carrie Coons. She first met and married my grandfather's best friend, Gerald(?) Thompson and had four children. He later died in what I am to be a crane accident.

Beulah, who often went by "Bee", also lived in Hamilton. My father recalls her working as a ticket taker at a theatre but I am not sure in which city this was. She lived her last few years in Cornwall, with her youngest boys. I think she had cancer but I am told she died during or shortly after an operation (likely removing a tumour).

I know this is all very vague but I do hope to find someone who knows something. I can't seem to find my grandmother anywhere on Ancestry and I am desperately trying to do so for my dad, as he holds a lot of guilt about not having been able to know her more.

Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Hi, OBITUARIES - may be of some help - some may provide some family information - may show names and locations of other family members at the time.
Registrations of Birth, Marriage, Death -Long form Certificates
[Not Short Form Certificate - which are extracts of basic information taken from the registrations good for proof of an event - without giving personal info to those with no need to know ]
For Death - request physician s cause of death [ something similar ]
Have you talked to other family members - some may have been in touch.
Ancestry is an ongoing project - some depends on families submitting family / personal information - others depend on other sources of information - eg - govt records - Only the information that is considered Public Record
