Just making a note because the name was mentioned earlier - it may or may not be of use at some stage ??  There is also an ancestry tree for this one for you to refer to if necessary.

Found an obituary 15 February 1958 - it refers to a Annie Mabel Smith (Mabel Stringer wife of Alfred Stringer) but on her birth the name was Mabel Smith born 31 January 1894

Mabel Smith - Birth Date   31 Jan 1894   South Bruce, Bruce County, Ontario, Canada
Father   Charles Samuel Smith (born in Ontario)  - Mother   Susan Hilson (also born Ontario)
No Scottish connection.

Tried a later birth  year ... another to discount......

Malcolm Herbert Smith -  Birth Date   26 Jul 1909   York, Ontario, Canada
Father    George Herbert Smith Mother    Grace Burns

Seems to go by the middle name Herbert (Malcolm) Smith on his marriage 7 June 1934 - occupation was civil engineer
The obit and find a grave - 1994 -  went under H Malcolm Smith. No mention of a Mabel A Smith  :-\
