I think you may find her as Lizzie Crawshaw in the 1911 census:

Hi, Thanks again! I do have another question My Grandfather died when my mom was small. His name was Clendon Blair. He died in 1956 in Moose Jaw Sask. I've looked and looked and can't seem to find any information on him at all.

Hello Alyssa,
At long last another Ramsden descendant who is interested in finding out more about their ancestors.
I am the grandaughter of Amy Ramsden, sister of Sykes Ramsden.
I noticed that you are on Ancestry, so search for Amy & you will find my tree.
Look forward to hearing from you soon.
Regards Susan

Don't forget that on Ancestry you can use wildcard searches, so I tried "*endon" "Blair".

There's a chap transcribed as Glendon Blair born c1903 in New Brunswick in the 1921 census on Ancestry. The first name is hard to make out.

In 1911 he seems to be transcribed as Glendon Clair. The first name certainly looks like it starts with a G, and the last name with a B. In this record both parents are shown. His year of birth is given as 1902, but the sums were done by the enumerator and often wrong.

There are plenty of siblings in both records.

Just because it was written with a G doesn't mean it was right. There are plenty of records where a name has been "corrected" by someone unfamiliar with it.
