Marcella is on the 1891 Census - https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/MW59-7RG
Don't know where you would get access to original but it gives you an idea of where Isabella must have been born.

Hi again,

In 1891, William is a young widower with daughters Christina, Marcella and Isabella.  Images are here:

Ahhh all making sense now -
William McCaw was the son of Thomas McCaw and Marcella Blacklock
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.2.1/9C4Q-WDC
he had a lot of siblings -
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.2.1/9C4Q-WZC    one being a Marcella!
Odd that he married a Blacklock too....maybe a relative??
Have to go and make my dinner now....almost 4.45 here.
Good luck with your project SWH1

Ahhh, that explains it Looby

I don't have access to Ancestry, but perhaps someone who does can check the Quebec birth records for Isabella.

Any more information on Nora or Florence - possible years of birth, parents etc??

[loobylooayr]

Haven't looked for other two names.
Was intrigued by Thomas McCaw grandfather of Isabella McCaw being born in Ayrshire - my home county 
Discovered McCaws on the 1841 Census at Ardlochan (a farm ?) Kirkoswald Ayrshire (not a million mile s from me )
Really must go or dinner will be late.
Good hunting.

Enjoy your dinner  

I wonder if this is the correct Florence Lyle Harvey - interestingly also a journalist.  In the image, it shows that she is going to California to live.  She was born in Hamilton, Ontario in 1878.

If so, her parents are John and Williamina

From what I can see online, Miss Florence L Harvey of Hamilton was quite the golfer.

I didn't pay to see the whole article, but the free summary gives you lots of information.  There is a lot more online about Florence and her golfing prowess.

Also looks like she wrote about golf

If any of this fits with your information for Florence, I have some more information from the Canadian papers... she was in South Africa for a while doing interesting work, then she went to London in 1940.
