Can anyone help with a news paper obituary for Susan Maud Smith who died the 6 April 1951 in Toronto Canada, buried 10 April 1951 St Thomas Cemetery.
Susan was the wife of Thomas Smith.

Nothing on Ancestry.

Do you have any reason to suppose an obituary was actually published?

Valerie suggested the Toronto Library.
They will search for things for you - for a fee:

They also have an "Ask a librarian" service, by email - but I'm not sure if that's free or not, nor what info it allows you to ask for:

Researching:
Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.
