Yes, that is the right Florence.    Here is her induction into the Hamilton Sports Hall of fame.  It mentions her being an ambulance driver in WW1.  There is a photo too.

This says that she came back to Canada from California and died in Ancaster, Ontario in 1968.

Quickly back to Isabella McCaw...

Here is her father's obituary from the Montreal Gazette.  A bit of background about the family...

Well done RK.
That's a lot of good info on Isabella McCaw and Florence Harvey, unfortunately I'm not finding anything on Nora.   
Looby :)
