I found 2 outgoing UK passenger lists for Miss M Pope Ellis

16 Aug 1928, she is leaving from London on the ??? Castle, and is contracted to land in Natal.  Her profession is poultry farmer :).  She was born in 1890, but doesn't say where... however she is on the list of British passengers.  Last address in the UK was 13 Cancell Rd S.W.9.  She is travelling first class. Country of intended future residence is Tanganyika

15 April 1932, she is leaving from Southampton on the Warwick Castle, and is contracted to land in Natal.  There is no profession listed now.  She says she was born about 1893.... again, I don't know where, but she is on a list of British passengers.  Last address was Boks Corner, West End, Southampton.  Country of intended future residence is South Africa.

Looks like she has just been visiting the UK... Country of last permanent residence in both cases is "other parts of the British Empire"

Sorry to be bouncing around here... but 1891 census has Guy as a boarder in England... with his sister Vera H McCaw, age 6, also born in Calcutta, India.  They are living with the Vicar of South Stoke and Wood, named Hubert G Hind -- and his family.  This includes a governess.

So, it doesn't seem that this McCaw family has any Canadian connections.  I think you need to look in India or the UK for her.
