1911 census, Lanark Ontario: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QV9T-LG4T Audrey was staying with the parents of her father John Sheridan Knowles, William and Pauline ("Polly"). While living with her grandmother, Audrey got her lifelong nickname of Polly. Also living there in 1911 was Audrey's 52-year-old aunt, Rose Helen "Ellen" Knowles (presumed spinster). Interestingly, Audrey was also counted at her parents' home in Qu'Appelle, Saskatchewan (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:27XT-SMQ).

Hi there, "Polly" Audrey Emeline Knowles was my mother's father's mother (my great grandmother). She died in May of 1989 in Vancouver BC, when I was 14. I remember her well. I don't know why this auto-generated profile says she died in 1939. Her husband "Frank" Francis Metherall Powell died in 1959, also in Vancouver. Thanks for your help.
