Good finds Sandra

I did find that death for Kezia but the Scarborough made me ponder.  Her son David doesn't appear to have had his birth registered or his death.

Of course this is all speculation because it is not known how old Mabel was when she gave birth to Dorothy.

Following your good leads GG  :)

Not sure this would be needed - the marriage of the daughter of Beatrice Keziah Amory

Outward passenger lists show Mabel Annie Boyd (30)  and Beatrice Boyd (27), both single, both milliners, departing on the Royal Edward, from Bristol to Montreal, 03 May 1911

the arrivals lists have the same ages for them, occupations as draper's assistant and say they are going to an aunt destination Toronto, Ontario

That would make sense from the 1911 census I found for Mabel - Reply#8.  Left just after the census then which was on the 2nd April.

Interesting - the sister of Keziah Sledge/Boyd  was Phoebe Sledge/Amory born 5 June 1851 and died
17 Apr 1942 (aged 90) Welland, Niagara Regional Municipality, Ontario.

Phoebe Sledge Amory was a survivor of the Lusitania disaster which was sunk by the Germans 7 May 1915 (photo and newspaper clip on FIND A GRAVE

This was the daughter of Phoebe and Bert Amory -  Kezziah Amory Clayton.  1879 - 1952
Probably the family link to the Aunt who lived in Toronto.

May be of help to find an alternative Mabel Boyd . The baptism record for Dorothy Mabel gives the mother's abode as Chester.

There may be a place called Chester in/near Oswestry (not familiar with this area) but its possibly Chester in Cheshire - which was a lot nearer to Oswestry than London.
