Default Martin Family in Middlesex Ontario



I have been tracing my great Aunt Harriett Shilstone who went to Canada and married Reginald Martin in Woodstock on 24thAug 1926. I have found out she died March 28 1972 and the interment was at Forest Lawn Memorial Gardens.
From the orbit collection it said she was living at 414 Tecumseh Ave East and was the mother of Richard Martin of Byron and James of London and 7 grandchildren.
I believe they were children from her husbands first marriage so must have been born before 1926.
I would love to get in contact with them to find out more about her life.
Can any one help me please. As i have said the areas are in Ontario Middlesex London and Byron
Thankyou

You say that Harriet who was buried in Forest Lawn was their stepmother. Does that mean that her husband Orin E. is their father? But he was born in Michigan.

is this harriet

Name: Harriett Elizabeth Martin
Maiden Name: Dickinson
Death Date: 23 Aug 1940
Cemetery: Forest Lawn Memorial Park (Glendale)
Burial or Cremation Place: Glendale, Los Angeles County, California, United States of America
Has Bio?: N

some dates would be very usefull

I am trying to find information on a Richard Martin and a James Martin but they may have a surname of Newis. If anyone can find an obituary for them as I would think they are now dead it may mention their children. Richard came from Byron and James from London think these are in Ontario. Their (step) mother Harriet who was my great aunt was laid to rest in Forest Lawn Memorial Gardens as was her husband
Thank you
