Hi,
Do you mean 1880s & 1890s?
If so, have you checked the 1901 and 1911 census transcripts at:

You're welcome, paddwadd. 
I hope you find them in 1901 or 1911. Keep in mind that the transcription is still in progress and is being done by dedicated volunteers (thank you, Automated Genealogy folks!).
Do you have any data on them from the British census? Was Abernethy her married name?
Regards,
Josephine

Wow...Mothers married late or birthing late in life? Sounds like my family... ! Welcome to Rootschat by the way...can't see a marriage or a death for an ELSY was hoping she'd used that forename as it would have made it easier, actually.

paddwadd,
If she was born in 1844 and went to Canada in the late 1880s, she would have been in her forties. That's late in life to marry and then start having children.
It would be hard slogging looking for her in the unindexed Canadian passenger lists:
http://www.collectionscanada.ca/archivianet/passenger/index-e.html
Here she is in the British Columbia Cemetery Finding Aid:
http://www.islandnet.com/bccfa/
ABERNETHY, Elsie Jane
Mountain View Cemetery
Fraser Street, Vancouver,
Reference #BCGS-C-62
Regards,
Josephine

It looks like she's listed as Jane in 1911 in Vancouver City:
Samuel Abernethy, Married, Head born 1881, age 30
Violet Abernethy, Wife, born Aug 1886, age 24
Ethel Abernethy, Daughter, born Oct 1908, age 2
Jane Abernethy, Mother-in-law, Widowed, born Dec 1841, age 70
It's odd that she has the same surname as her son-in-law. Could he be her stepson?
Regards,
Josephine

The B.C. Archives website has a marriage:
Samuel Abernethy +
Violet Ethel Henderson
in Port Moody, B.C.
1 January 1908
There's a death for Samuel Abernethy 17 July 1942 in Vancouver.
His death & marriage records should list his parents' names.
Regards,
Josephine

At www.ancestorsonboard.com there is an "Abernethy", Female, age 49, who sailed from Glasgow to Montreal in 1890.
It's pay per view at www.ancestorsonboard, but you can go to
http://www.collectionscanada.ca/archivianet/passenger/001045-100.01-e.php?PHPSESSID=df0803265fbfb99e48617b14c09cd8ca
put in Glasgow as Departure and Montreal as arrived, year 1890. There seems to be only 7 ships, so not to much searching.

paddwadd,
It was J.J. who reminded me of the BC Archives website; I'd forgotten all about it. 
I just wonder why we can't find Elsy Jane's marriage there.
Karen's suggestion is excellent. It will take a while but it might be worth it to scroll through the images of those seven ships.
Regards,
Josephine
