Have you ruled out the 4 marriages on SP between 1885-1888 or do you know for certain she married in Canada?

He's still in the 1900 directory living at 120 William Street, but gone by 1901 Census.  He may have left the family. In 1901 directory, noted is is Mrs. Eliza Gibson, dairy, 120 William Street. If he was deceased, she would have been noted as widow (Alex).
