Looking for information on children of father who died in Toronto 1947, so they may still be alive. Parents married 1923.

Is this possible through on line information , or are some records under the 100 years rule, and closed to the public?

Ancestry has Canada, Voters Lists, 1935-1980, although not necessarily every year.

If the (any?) children continued to live with their mother, and she didn't remarry, it might just be possible to make assumptions based upon the listings in the same household. If it was a common surname, it could be rather difficult. Marriages are also confidential, making it almost impossible to trace females once or if they've changed their name.

Sometimes an obituary is placed on the death of a parent. Its always's worth 'googling' the name.
