cant find them on that website.
I know the wife who was actually called Janet Donaldson Speirs died 29 Mar 1911 Lanark, Ontario, Canada, so i should be able to find her in the 1901 census.

Thanks

For what its worth I had a roomate in college who name was  V. "Spiers" Eggertson from Burlington circa 1968. Spiers was her mothers maiden name. I believe the spelling was the same.
