 Helen Eileen Slorach was born to William John Slorach and Leila Margaret Borthwick on 5 Sept 1910, in Kenora, Ontario, Canada.

This would make her Lillie's cousin, about 6 months older than her, and appears to have gone by the name Eileen.

Home of her youth:
217 Fourth Ave North, Kenora, Ontario, Canada

The following provides the paper trail I have on Eileen, including her marriage to Mr. Albert Edward Ede (of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan) on 24 May 1937, in Kenora, Ontario, Canada.
