Looking for help with this lady.

Elizabeth Harper 1885 father Robert Dickenson Harper mother Mary Jane Blood.
I have the census for 1901 so its information after that i would like help with please.
We know she went to live in Canada before WW1. I think have the right person on a passenger list March 1908 sailing from Liverpool.
We have a post card possibly between 1925 - 1935 looking at the cars on there. No date or stamp as it looks like it was originally in an envelope.

Any help is much appreciated.

To where in Canada did she sail?

This one? Not Canada.

Not sure on the postcard. Will have to find out, it’s not in my possession.

In the 1906 marriage record posted by Kay, John McPhee married Beatrice Smith, per 1911 census.

So that Elizabeth Harper married John Taylor - which is a pity. An unusual name would have helped!.
