Andrew Dargie family from Olds, Alberta

Surnames: Dargie
I am looking for any information on the Andrew Dargie family that moved to Alberta from Ontario sometime after 1901. After stops in Calgary (1906 census) and Red Deer (1916 census), they eventually settled in Olds, Alberta.

Husband - Andrew Dargie, b 1855, d 1942 (I think)
Wife - Ann Hazell Dargie, b 1860, d 1948
Son - William Dargie, b 1879

There is another son, Herbert Lyall Dargie, but he appears to have stopped and settled in Winnipeg.

Any information on this family, however small, would be appreciated. I have hit a real brick wall with them, which is often the case when family moves west. Ann Dargie was my husbands' gg-aunt and she is the only family member (one of 11 children) that I haven't been able to account for in our tree.

I was recently trying to find information on a deceased RCMP officer named Frank David Dargie. He was married and lived his life a few doors from where I live in Niagara Falls Ontario.
His parents names were Herbert Dargie and Lillian Anderson. His wedding announcement states that his mother travelled from Winnipeg for the wedding.
Frank's date of birth was June 20, 1918.
Some of this could fit with your Dargie family. Hope it helps.
