Note | Death reg. 004295-38 Toronto, York Co. Margaret Cumming died June 25, 1938, at 9 Crown Park Road. Residence same. Widowed. Born Ontario on December 30, 1856. Age 82. Parents James Timmins, born Ireland, and Elizabeth Cruickshanks, born Scotland. Physician J. Edwin Long. Informant Charles Cumming, 9 Crown Park Road, son. Burial St. Johns Norway, June 27, 1938. For the moment and pending further investigation, we must believe that Margaret is not buried at St. Johns Norway Anglican Cemetery, but at St. James Anglican Cemetery. The Toronto Branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society has a transcription of The Anglican Church of St. John the Baptist (Norway) Cemetery. This is an excellent transcription, which stands up well in other investigations. Margaret Timmins Cumming does not appear in this transcription and, while an error is always possible, it seems the more likely that she is buried in St. James Anglican Cemetery with husband Donald. Research is ongoing. The archives of the Toronto Globe and the Star have been searched and a death notice for Margaret has not been found. |
