Research Note

Note NI494Age 32 in 1881 Census
He seems to have been associated with the GTR at one time, but may have had numerous "careers". There is very strong evidence that he ran or was the proprietor of a number of hotels. The site of one such hotel, the King's, is now occupied by the Royal York Hotel. Another hotel was, in 2004 the site of a Golden Griddle restaurant on the north-east corner of Jarvis and Front Streets in Toronto.
From ancestry.ca, a number of "York" area death records should be investigated. Here are the years that may be of interest (this search may be moot - see Pittsburgh note below):
1925
1930
Also, there is the following record for a Robert H Reid:
1913 - Essex
Information to be updated
Found the family in Pittsburgh, PA. Specific censuses to be confirmed.
