Check out the British Columbia Vital Events Index at http://www.bcarchives.gov.bc.ca/textual/governmt/vstats/v_events.htm#indexes.
I didn't see any Garnett/Adams marriages. I did find a death of Alice Maud Adams, age 84, on 25Jul1963 at West Vancouver. A match?
-
Do you know approximately when she was born?
http://www.findmypast.com/passengerListPersonSearchStart.action - a variety of possibilities here for her emigration.

Hi Alice maud Adams was born 26th December 1884 in cornwall England
-
Then on the link I posted, there's an Alice M. Adams b. 1884 going Liverpool - Canada (Quebec) in 1910.
I can't find any Alice Maud(e) Adams born around the right time in Cornwall - do you have her in any censuses in England? Who were her parents?
-
I know her parents were John Adams and Mary jane Bray she had a sister called Mabel aswell as others the sister was my husbands grandmother but she passed away in 1957 before my husband was born so were trying to find out about that side of the family as we dont know that much, my husbands grandfather was william rickard again he passed away for he was born both are buried here in Launceston cornwall a BIBLE WAS LEFT which we have all it gives is names and dates of birth have got a newspaper clipping that says she married a gentleman called A Garnett Bickle on 4th October 1911
Thanks

Probably the husband is Anthony Garnet Bickle, b. Dec quarter 1882 Tavistock (freebmd).
Ancestry seems to suggest that there's a marriage in Ontario for 'Anthony Ganat Bickle' to 'Alice Maude Mary Adams'.
http://www.islandnet.com/cgi-bin/ms2/jveinot/search - if you search in the Ontario Cemetery Index, for Bickle in Whitby, Durham Co, you can see there's an A. G. Bickle (Dave) and an Alice M. Bickle both buried there - no dates, you'd have to contact the appropriate section of the OGS for details.
Ontario Death Indexes show a Kathelene Margaret Bickle, died Jul 9 1915, aged just 5 hours - daughter of Anthony Garnet Bickle and Alice Maud Adams. At that time they were in Oshawa, Ontario.
