Has anyone ever come across info on this business? It does not show up in the Toronto City Directories, yet the two owners, Fuller & Postlethwaite both lived in the city. The only reference to this concern is in the Port Authority Archives, so please disregard that if you try a search for it. Any other references out there? Thanks for any help.

> I am looking for information on Ida May Fortner. She was born in Ontario, Canada about 1869-70 to Jonas Fortner and Olive Bryce. She shows with her family in the 1871 & 1891 Middlesex Cty, census listings. In 1901 her family shows up in the listings spelled Fortener, however she is not with them. I find no death record, or marriage record for her here in Ontario.
> She may have moved away and could have moved anywhere. Her married name if she married is unknown to me. So sometime between 1891 and 1901 she could have married and moved away. Or just married somewhere other than Ontario and came back. Any information on her would be appreciated.
> Her siblings were Arthur Douglas, Thomas Edison, Charles Alexander, and half siblings, Lillie, Catherine, Miranda, & John Alexander.
