My subscription to ancestry has run out, which I forgot until I started to answer you, but   it would be helpful if we knew what information you are looking for.  It just saves time looking up details of what you already know.  For example, are you looking for their marriage information, evidence on a passenge list?  cause of death?  or something else?

Hi Joan. It would appear the family was in Toronto. In the Group just click on the Ontario Genealogy Links & Resources, scroll down to Newspapers.You will see Toronto Star you can purchase a subscription, for an hour, day,etc. Was of great help to me in finding my family.

I don’t know if you have this info but here is the certificate of death for Lily Mae Bond who is the daughter of John and Albertina. The informant was her sister. 

I’ve also found the Certificate of death for Margaret Clarkson Blackwell.  I’ve also found her obit both in the Toronto Star and Globe and Mail but the clearer one was from the Globe.
