looking for death certs of Elizabeth Catherine Hardie Gray who was married to Andrew Gray and had a son to her first husband alexander kirkpatrick . They were all born in Scotland and emigrated to Canada in 1913.
-
Do you know where in Canada they headed? There are no national indexes, so it would help to know that (particularly as the names are not all that unusual). Also their ages in 1913 - would either the husband, Andrew, or the son from the first marriage have been of an age to fight in WWI?
For that matter, a lot of those going to Canadian ports then headed over the border to the US, so we really need to have the destination details.
If you have the ship name/date, you might be able to see the incoming manifest here:

Andrew Gray (33), Elizabeth Gray (33) and Alex Kilpatrick (6) arrived in Saint John, New Brunswick on 14 Apr 1913 aboard the Letitia. The passenger list indicates they were going to Toronto.
If the family stayed in Ontario, then death registrations are only available up to 1936. Anything after that is protected by privacy laws.

Marriage of a daughter Elizabeth A Gray - 1 January 1938 York Ontario - aged 24 years.
Father Andrew Gray and Mother Elizabeth Fingland.
Spouse Frank A Gawoski (aged 26 years)
Perhaps Frank Gawoski changed his surname to Stark ?
There is a Canada Voters List 1957 472 Rigers Street, Peterborough, Ontario - Elizabeth Stark and Frank Stark (repair man) ?

Andrew Gray could have gone to live with or near daughter Elizabeth in Peterborough Ontario.
Have just come across a date of death for him in Peterborough Ontario 04.08.1952 but no further details of a burial place etc. So that would need confirmation to verify that info.
