Thanks Historycat --- glad I've been able to help.  One further detail:  I understand there was a fourth sister, Mary, who also survived Ethel Kathleen.  I remember Daphne mentioning something about her being given a set of earrings from Kay's estate.

Robert ('cousin Bob' as Daphne always called him) Bradshaw now lives in Mexico, though still visits Toronto where his daughter Melinda lives (Daphne left Melinda her house on Salonica Road in The Bridle Path district).

Ethel Kathleen's daughter, Daphne Powell Bell, was born January 18, 1937, in Toronto, and died May 28, 2008 in Zurich, Switzerland.  Daphne was a model, linguist, psychologist, equestrian and philanthropist.  (A 1962 marriage in New York ended in divorce and did not produce children.)

Also, I can mention that Dorothy ('Do') Harding became the second wife of General Guy Simonds, as per this link:

Constance ('Connie') Harding died during the mid 1990s, a few years after Ethel Kathleen ('Kay') died on June 16, 1991 [I recall the date because it happens to be my own birthday].  She had a son, Robert Bradshaw, born circa 1937 and still living.

My information about these individuals comes directly from Daphne, a close personal friend from 1970 until her passing in 2008.
