Gosh, I am blown away with the amount you rootschatters have been unable to unearth. That U.S information is amazing. I do hope that Ellen Lester/Lyster is your grandmother findellen 2016.

Ourgang,
I am more than blown away.
In one day I have received so much information.
I will let you all know if this Ellen Lester is my grandmother.

You seem doubtful that this is the correct Ellen Lyster found in USA ?
Only piece of the puzzle missing as far as I can see is the actual marriage cert to Sada Mizokami  and you can get that easily online from ScotlandsPeople
http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/welcome.aspx (1918)

Another thought, since you really seem to want some photos, is to apply to the 'US Citizenship and Immigration Services' for her immigration file.
I got my great uncles and among lots of other information it contained copies of his Naturalization certificates which had his photo on.
I was lucky as he lost his certificate several times and kept having to have a new one issued.

They were photocopies but good quality.

The family are recorded as Lyster in 1901 census  here

This is possibly Ellen then in 1911 still shown as LYSTER LINK

and her sister Susan LINK
