The Elizabeth Harper who married William Bramhill was born in Wick, Caithness, per 1911 census, which fits with pre-marriage censuses.

The Elizabeth Harper that also married in 1906 married William Bramhill, she was aged 22 but her father was called William Harper.

The Elizabeth Harper that married John Taylor in 1906 was a Widow, Aged 45 who"s father was named as Thomas Clements.

The Death Cert for Elizabeth Evans 19 Jul 1962 gives her date of birth as 9 Jan 1885, Yorkshire England. She was a Widow and the Informant was her son James Evans. She lived at Nanaimo St, Vancouver, BC.

For the parents details it has Surname only of Father as Harper the rest is Unknown.

There is an Obituary which said she had a surviving brother called Thomas Harper.

Edit

Just found the corresponding Marriage on 1 May 1912... it gives father's name as Richard Harper and Mother as Jane Bristow.

So sadly it doesn't look like the Elizabeth Harper you are looking for.

another Grimsby marriage,

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!.

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

Could this marriage be hers?
