Life and Death info on (Aunt) Isabella Charters Jardine
Isabella Charters Jardine was Lillie's aunt,
being the baby sister to William Jardine (Lillie's father).

BIRTH: 27 March 1886,
Benlester, Lamlash, Isle of Arran, Scotland
DEATH: 23 August 1888,
Colquhar, Innerleithen, Peebleshire, Scotland
It appears she died from the effects of hydrocephalus and epilepsy (fluid on the brain) after suffering from it for at least a year.
She was nearly 2 1/2 years old when she died,
so William would have been about 5 years old when she passed away.

SOURCE: online
He was the second known child in what became a family of seven children (known).
Earliest records show him involved with the railway (as did his father) at age 15 as a telegraph clerk in 1901.
It appears he immigrated to Canada at age 21 (listed as a Locomotive Fireman by trade) in May 1907.
He applied for a homesteading grant in the summer of 1909, but he was listed as a Fireman in the Kenora, Ontario, Canada region when he married "Leila B Jardine" on 31 March 1910.
Marriage register:
SOURCE: familysearch.org
Their daughter Helen Eileen Slorach was born just a few months later in September 1910.
Google maps image of home their baby was brought home to in 1910
(217 Fourth Ave North, Kenora, Ontario... it's the duplex on the right covered by the bush).
The little family lived in Kenora when their daughter married in 1937, and after Leila died in May 1941, at some point William moved to British Columbia and married Martha Krempin.
He died 7 March 1982, in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
He was 96 years old.
William's death certificate:
He is apparently buried in the Forest Lawn Memorial Park, in Burnaby, BC, Canada.
