I have had a good look at the Sinclair Group. Most intriguing but the known dates are off by roughly minus 4 years. Francis Sinclair, the father appears to be from a Richmond Quebec family albeit from the English "tribe".

Update.
I have finally managed to make sense of this query. Ellen Best had a maiden name Holliday and 137 Fox Street, Pitsmoor in Sheffield was inhabited in 1920 by a Samuel Moore and his wife Elizabeth. Samuel was a widower and Elizabeth a widow. At their marriage in 1913, Elizabeth was described as the daughter of Charles Holliday (deceased). Bingo! Ellen and Elizabeth were sisters. The 1939 UK census located Ellen, now 61, living with her son Ernest Noel and his wife Doris in Bournemouth UK.
