Are you getting any of my information re the Tribes? I have sent a couple in the last few days. If not getting them send me an email at satch42@bigpond.net.au and I will try and fill you in what I have found. Also reask your questions. Thanks Diane

I looked in 1921 census but could not locate her. The address of the place is St John’s Convent, 32 Major Street, North York, Ontario. Maybe if you contacted the convent they may give you more information on Katharine or at least tell you where you could look. Good luck. I will keep my eye out for her.

Just googled St John Convent in Toronto and it is Anglican, not Catholic. Sorry about that.

Re Katharine Louisa. Nathaniel’s obituary says that she is in St John’s Convent in Toronto. A nun? She is from first marriage.
1911 census has Nathaniel 69, Mary 61 wife, Eva daughter 24 or 26.
Parents are methodist, Eva is Anglican and is a clerk.
Eva died of TB at Bracebridge 10 Jan 1921, burial 12 Jan 1921 at VanKougnet.

Re Katharine Louisa. I don’t find anything for her after 1901. There is no death registration for her that I can find. 1911 census she is in St John’s Convent but what is her name?
Try googling St John’s Convent and see what information is available. Don’t know if it would still be open or not. If not try the Catholic Diocese in Toronto.
Hope this helps some.
