Looking for GILL ancestors who settled in Canada (Vancouver)

Hello there

This is a bit of a long shot, but I'm taking it anyway!

I'm looking for information on 2 people who I believe to be my great-great grandparents:

Frederick John Gill, born circa 1851 in Orwell, Cambridgeshire, UK
Jane Gill (née Gill – that really makes my life easier, let me tell you!), born circa 1854 also in Orwell.

I believe they immigrated to Canada in May 1913, leaving from Liverpool onboard a ship called the "Canada" along with their daughter, Letty, and what I presume to be their son Edward and his family (wife Elsie, son Edward and daughter Elsie).

Through the BC Vital Statistics website I found 2 death entries for Jane Amelia Gill (Jan 1924) and Frederick John Gill (Jan 1926), both deaths registered in Vancouver.

Any information on these 2 people, or on the others mentioned, would be gratefully received!

Thanks in advance

Michelle
