Looks like you are off and away now with Elizabeth and her family. You can often do some general searches on SP to get some ideas on dates. For example, there is a death for an Eliza Stewart/Spink in Craig, Angus in 1940...likely your Elizabeth's mother I would think. Lots there for you to find now...
Regarding the details you need for your mother, can I suggest you post the query again on the Canadian board where people have more experience of Canadian resources - see
