Are you sure that he was born in Ontario? I can't see a birth for him nor can I see him on tha 1921 census.

John David Cromarty

1971-1987 High Court of Justice Ontario

He was on the Supreme Court of Ontario, not the Supreme Court of Canada ..... that distinction needs to be made :-)

He was apparently a student of the Lisogar Collegiate Institute ca 1926-1930 .......

mentioned in the following extract from the book Lisgar Collegiate Institute, 1843-1993. By Joan Finnigan, Lisgar Alumni Association...........
