This was all there was in the Home Children data base SHOWELL Eliza 12 1907 10 10 Carthaginian 1908 05 16 Nova Scotia In the 1911 Census she might be listed as Lizzie McLean adopted b. Apr 1897. Listed in Whycocomagh Village page 3 . It listed her as born in NS. I do not know if this is the family but it is the only listing for Angus and Catherine. Catherine is the Mother and Angus is the son. She would be about the right age.
