Thank you for your assistance. I have not yet made it to the cemetary. Could Alfred Richard Checkley be buried elsewhere in the cemetary, i somehow remember there is an explanation for this.
Please keep me posted,
thank you,
Carol

Carol,
My previous message indicated the stones we found on Section X, Plot 41.
The plot card records the following burials:
Jas W. Barnes 1893 infant
Hannah Cameron 1902
Edmund A. Hayes 1903 infant
Arthur W. Checkley 1875
????? Cameron 1894
Alex Cameron 1891 infant
Strangely, Alfred Richard Checkley is not recorded on the plot card. I will have another look when next I am in the cemetery office.
All of these could be looked up on the Ontario Vital Records on Ancestry.ca and I may do that when I am next at the Toronto Reference library.

perhaps you could share the info you have on the alfred checkleys you have in your canadian file? Hopefully there is a connection? i understand that alfred checkley may have died in a train accident, i'm still uncertain at this point. There may also be the surname Barnes attached to the checkley family in toronto.

Regarding Alfred Richard Checkley b. Dec 31, 1851 & buried in the Toronto St. James Cemetery, I have no information in my files. I have 3 Alfred Checkleys in my Canadian files, but none that match this person.

Carol,
I'm part of a group (Toronto Branch OGS) St. James' Cemetery and yesterday we arrived at Section X, Plot 41, owned by Emily Susan Checkley. We found only one badly eroded stone and a headstone.
The headstone, which we had to dig up and subsequently rebury) says only:
Alfred
aged 27 years
All we could read from the stone was:
Alfre
B
Kille
This stone was transcribed in the seventies and at that the transcriber was able to read the following:
Alfred Richard Checkley
Born dec 31 1852
Killed
Does this make ant sense to you?
Daviud Reed
