Locating information on mother

My mother, Anne Marie Scragg, also known as Anne Mary Scragg, was born in 1932 (possibly 1933) at the Misecordia Hospital (Catholic Hospital) in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Her mother is listed as Marie Scragg on her birth certificate, with her racial origin listed as "English". Marie Scragg was 26 years of age at the time of birth of my mother, and she placed my mother in the care of the Catholic Church. She was then raised by the nuns of the church until the age of 16, when she married my father. She was baptised immediately within a day or so of birth, and the person who attended the baptism was a Mary Swann (who may have been a relative).

We tried to access records from the hospital, however, we were unsuccessful as hospital records were lost in a fire that occurred sometime after the date of my mother's birth. The only records we were able to access was her birth certificate and baptismal certificate.

My mother passed away some time ago, however, we, the children, would like to learn more about her birth origin.

Thus, any information would be of assistance. Thanks.
