I would so love to trace living rels of my gguncle Robert Hall

Robert Hall b london 1874 married Annie S Taylor
this is his death below!
British Columbia Death Index: 1872 to 1979
about Robert Hall
Name: Robert Hall
Gender: Male
Age: 62
Death Date: 7 Feb 1936
Place of Death: Michel
Registration #: 1936-09-511055
bca #: B13156
gsu #: 1953020

As far as i know they had 4 children maybe more?

Charlotte Louisa Hall b1900 Canada
Marion Gertrude Hall b1902 Canada
Viola Victoria Hall b 1904 Canada
Robert Charles Hall b1908 Canada

I know nothing further about this family :-( have no idea how old Annie is where she was born, died or what happened to the children etc and would to be able to trace the family. It is a long sad story of a family split by death of their parents and it would be lovely to reunite us all again.

any help very much appreciated!
many thanks Helenxx

Could he have possibly been a Home Child? Although age is out a bit.

HI Margee wow you've done a stunning job!!! THANK YOU soooo much!! how sad!! no wonder we didn't find any descendants :-( yes he was a home child of sorts it was a catholic organisation not barnardos and yes the ages are out but it is def him, and his brother were sent separately to canada and never knew each other, their were 3 girls left behind in the UK who never knew what happened to their brothers. Turns out the 2 boys were born 1 and 3 years after their fathers death??? so have no actual birth records only the records from the orphanage. any sign of a death/birth record for Annie?
thank you again Helenxx

I read the 1911 addy as 9 Bradd St. The name is clearer on the next page.
The modern Brad St is a cul de sac off Dundas to W. If it ran thru, it would hit Indian Rd. It's 5km WNW of Queen's Park, half a block S of where Dundas meets Dupont/Annette. A full block S of Annette and half a block S of Brad, is Humberside Ave. their 1901 addy - see the 1901 Schedule 2:

http://data2.collectionscanada.gc.ca/1901/z/z003/z000120294.pdf

You can search 1901/11 via Margee's AG link & 1881/91 via the links at:
http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/genealogy/022-911.009-e.html

I couldn't find Annie or Robt in 1891, but in case her 1901 boarders are rellies, here they are in 1891:
