Canada / Re: ARTHUR, Leon - British Columbia

What surnames are you trying to connect to?  Might help in a search.

Perhaps Sandra could look up the obituary for a Henry Dixon Arthur 28 Oct 1968 in the Vancouver Sun.  His list of children show Lome (misspelling of Leon?) and other.  Wife Christina.  Suggest that because in the 1921 cenus for Vancouver there is a Henry Arthur 29, with wife Mary C? also 29 with a one year old Leonard born BC and an older sibling and that name I can't make out.

Have you the obituary for Christina in 2006 Powell River?  Does that give any information?

In Drouin records there is a birth for a S.R. Laing in 1941, d/o Robert Stewart Laing and Dora Grace Baylis.  A good posibility for the son of Annie Stewart.  In 1972 Robert Laing and Dora are living in the same household as S. Ferguson and husband R. Ferguson but in Etobicoke not Montreal.  There is a death noted in the Montreal Gazette for a Dora Laing 13 Sept 1990 with mother noted as Baylis and two daughters S. and B.  Someone with a newspapers.com subscription could find more details and start back tracing to see if this is the son of Annie.
I will p.m. the names of the daughters.

A notice in the Ottawa newspaper gave her daughters names.
I would imagne this might tie in with Jennie.  https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/ottawacitizen/obituary.aspx?n=gordon-davidson&pid=172996031&fhid=5748
The gravestone for Clifford and Jennie had her name inscribed as Ebbie
