Arthur and Mary Moore

[EdCan]

Having trouble trying to trace this couple.
In 1921 the family is living in Ottawa, District 110, Subdistrict 57. Arthur 1889, Ontario. Mary 1888, Ontario. Daughters were Gloria, Gladys and Doris.
In 1931 family living in Nepean Township, Carleton. Arthur 1887, Quebec. Mary 1888, Quebec. Children were Doras Alma, Roy Arthur, Lillian May and Ruby Olive.
Lillian May McKellar died 23 Dec 2019 Victoria, BC. She was predeceased by sisters Laura Frobel, Gladys Bowen, Doris Davis and brother Roy Graham(?). Survived by sister Ruby Poirier. Ruby died 18 Sep 2022 Orleans, Ontario. Neither Lillian nor Ruby obit mention parents.
I  can not find a marriage for Arthur and Mary nor a birth cert for Gloria born abt 1909 and Gladys abt 1912 Ontario.

Thanks DB. I did not realize 1921/31 was a name change.

Much appreciated

Bristol, Quebec.
