The births are probably not available online yet.  Perhaps if you found an obituary, it might give you those details.

Leonard's obit doesn't have his birthdate...or even his age at death.  It says that Leonard Courtney Prout Snell died May 7 1977.  He was a member of the Mimico Lodge AF & AM Number 369 G R C.   Husband of Marie Lillian Marx.  Father of M-E (Mrs C Bridge), W, C and J at home.  Grandfather of 2 named children.  Brother of Ruth (Mrs J Wild) of England, and the late Gladys (Mrs E Campbell).   Interment Park Lawn Cemetery.

Obit in the Globe and Mail 9 May 1977 page 34

Glady's obit doesn't have her birthdate or age either... it says that Gladys May Campbell died at Toronto General Hospital on May 1 1973.  Address was 6 Tangmere Road, Don Mills.  Wife of Earl Campbell.  Mother of D and M.  Sister of Ruth (Mrs M Turner) of England, and Leonard C Snell of Willowdale.  Interment Mount Pleasant Cemetery.

Obit in the Toronto Star, 3 May 1973, page 50.

Findagrave has a photo of her tombstone.  It just gives 1917 for  her birth year...no specific date.
