Ontario Canada Look up

Is there anyone out there with access to Ontario Canada records? I'm
trying to locate ROWLAND HILL and family on the 1911 census. He died
in St. Catharines in 1951 - but I can't find him on the census in St
Catharines

I'm also trying to locate death information on Sarah (Scholfield) SHAW who died in 1935 in Toronto - possibly York Twp, as I
have information leading me to believe that her husband Ralph Thomas
SHAW died in York on 16 Dec 1931 (no cemetery located yet).

Thanks a million for all your help.

Do you have some more identifying information on your Rowland Hill?
www.automatedgenealogy.com shows 7 from the 1911 census. There may be more -

Rowland was born 1869 in Linton, Cambridge, England. He was the son of George Hill and Sarah Cottage, and immigrated to Canada sometime between his marriage in 1906 at the parish church and 1910 when his son Stanley was born in St. Catharines.

He died April 16, 1951 and is buried in New Victoria Lawn Cemetery in St. Catharines.

Thanks

I found a death record for Sarah Scoffield Shaw, widow of Ralph Shaw.
Estimated birth year - 16 Mar 1867, England
Death date - 8 Apr 1936, York
Death Location - St. Joseph's Hospital, Toronto
Buried - 11 Apr 1936, Prospect Cemetery, Toronto
Cause of Death - Cerebral Embolism due to Auricular Fibrillation and Degenerate Myocorditis
Archives of Ontario Microfilm Number - MS935_534
Certificate Number - 003451

Death Record for Ralph Thomas Shaw:
Estimated birth year - 17 Mar 1870, England
Parents - John Shaw and Mary Slatter, both born in England
Death date - 16 Dec 1931, York Township
Buried - 19 Dec 1936, Prospect Cemetery, Toronto
Cause of Death - Cerebral Hemorrhage due to Bronchitis-pnemonia
Archives of Ontario Microfilm Number - MS935_431

Prospect Cemetery has not yet been transcribed by the local branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society. I believe it is last on their list because it is the oldest and largest cemetery in the area.
