Just to clarify. Granny's sister had a son before her marriage.
She then married. Did she have another son after her marriage?
My immediate thought to

Ada Carter left village in Oxfordshire to work in London. (Census Records) she had a son who was fostered out my long lost cousin in Aus has letter's from lady who looked after him. Ada then signed the papers to have him sent to Australia as a Home Child and he had a very bad time while there untill they let him out. Ada then married a few years later, their is a son David from this marriage. We have photoes of them when they came over. Son married and had 2 sons.
Marriage. Ada Carter - Edgar Cyprian Stephen Francis Lewis
Registration Date Oct 1921
Registration district Marylebone Inferred County Middlesex
Ada Carter
APRIL 1888 • Little Wittenham, Berkshire, England
DEATH 9 JUNE 1968 • Saskatchewan, Canada.
Daughter Jane born 1922 ( mentioned in newspaper)
Son. David Thomas Lewis 1922–2006
BIRTH 10 MAR 1922 • Marylebone, London, Middlesex, England.
Ada and Son David went out to Canada in 1928 after Edgar who had gone over before them
Can not find birth or Death for Jane. The only thing I can think of is that she had Twines and the girl died.

Could Ada and Edgar have adopted Jane after they arrived in Canada? (I'm assuming you've seen any passenger/immigration lists detailing Ada and David's journey)
If you can hang on till 2023 when the 1931 Canadian census is released you might get your answer then.Vulcan XH558 - “Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.”

in the opening post when you say "she outlived her husband" are you talking about Ada ? Ada died in 1968, Edgar died in 1976.
(by the way are you aware that the Find-A-Grave website has a couple of photos of Edgar & Ada together)

What surname was Ada's first born son registered under and what year was he born?
