I don't think Canadian marriages are online (although I could be wrong).

Recent Canadian marriage records are not available - their privacy laws are much stricter than ours

Although, if the marriages were reported in the Press, one can access the info

Presumably, someone told you they had died - doesn’t that person have info about their names at death?

Interestingly, Jean's birth was re-registered in 1960 - long after she'd left the UK

Check the link I gave you for the phone book

There's a W Bodnar in Windsor ONT

Might be worth a tactful phone call to see if there's a connection - may have info, if so
