In case you don't already know, in addition to the above, this might be your John on the voter's list:

Debbie posted a very useful site.

This could be the passing of Mary (I did not check the BC site to confirm information):

As I mentioned, I have not checked the BC site.  Half of the fun of genealogy is finding your own information.

However, in case you do not have access to American records:
Index for California deaths
Bavis Kesley, born 17 October 1895 in Canada, passed away 14 February 1985, Los Angeles (County?).  Her mother's maiden name was Scott.
--------
According to the social security death index, her last residence was in San Pedro, Los Angeles County, at the time of her death.  She received her social security card in California, prior to 1951.

There is a border crossing of Mary Kesley, born c1871 in Illinois.  Date of crossing: July 1915.  Would you like the remainder of the information, or perhaps you already have this?

[Lisa in California]

Mary H Kesley crossed the border again in December 1916.  It appears she was widowed.  There is additional information, if you don't already have it.
---------
Mary H Kesley arriving in Seattle, Washington in 1920.  She appears to be married (so perhaps she was married in 1916).  Mary was born in Murphysboro, Illinois.

Will wait to see what you have before continuing with American information.

There is a Hugh Kesley, born December 15, 1893(?) in Motherwell.  He was living in Nanaimo in 1916.  He had a brother named John.

Lud:  Are you only looking for BMD's for the family?  Or, are you in search of anything?  In case you haven't seen this, an article mentions a John Kesley ("Twelve Men..." - John is mentioned near the end of the article):
