LAC is digitizing the full service records at abt 300 boxes per month
Posted on October 14, 2016
Latest box digitized: Box 5848 and Mahony.

So it looks like you should retry the search in abt 5 m time.
Wm attested in Oct 1915, so he probably saw service first on the Somme.
For him this would be the Sept battles for Pozieres-Courcelette is my guess, but you'ld need his service record and his unit's war diaries to be sure.

Her last residence is recorded as
1936 • 228 Weir St.North Hamilton Ontario - per her daughter

A second marriage is listed as
Marriage

Jessie Atkinson (1906–1981)

They aren't sure when William died quoting either 1965 or 1967 in Hamilton
