I have done a bit more research into this family and found that:

Zibiah had an illegitimate son in 1892 called Abner Lazell Edwards, undoubtedly the father is Henry Abner Edwards. They married in 1894. A tree on ancestry, as Dave says, tells us that she died 26 Dec 1899 which can't be true if he is marrying in 1899.

I can't see a death registration for Zib* ******* that would fit so I am at a loss.

Dave: If their nationality was Canadian, would there be nationalisation papers or something?

Thanks for all the ace research guys, I am still stumped  ???

I wonder who this guy belongs to

William Abner Edwards 1896 Q3 Tenbury.

I cannot seem to see him in 1901. Just a thought but if he belonged to Zibiah, they could both have died. However once again can find no evidence of this.

This may be a good possibility, maybe an e mail to the relevant office might prove it was her.

Tibiah Edwards born about 1850 died 1898 Edmonton district Q3 3a 324

The image is typed so it could have been transcribed wrong from the original

I am a direct descendant of Abner Lazell Edwards. I do have a lot of information on Zibiah Bennell Lazell Edwards and Henry A. Edwards. The only thing I have on Zibiah's death is an incorrect death date. Please feel free to contact me with questions. I have a family tree on Ancestory.com.
