X00317 Ernest Ashton after 1916 - Solved!

I have posted in the past about X00317 and trying to find out what happened to Ernest Ashton after 1916. The Ashton Family bible lists his date of death as 23 January 1953, but I had not been able to find anything definite to cooberate the date in the Fmily Bible.

I had found him in the 1931 census and in the Toronto City directories for 1952, but not 1953, which was consistent with him dying in 1953.

Recently, the Ontario Death record for 1953 were released and I was able to find his death record

The death record gives a date of death of 24 January 1953, one day different from the family bible, but otherwise everything else matches.

An interesting thing that I had not known about is that his spouse is listed as Ruth Foot, so he evidently remarried. I managed to find their marriage record and it appears that they married in 1938.

And another thing that the death record give me was the burial place of Park Lawn Cemetery and I was able to find a corresponding entry at Find a Grave.

So, with that, I am now considering this X-File to be solved.
