Nominal census day was 1st June from 1911 on.
Here's the 1916 gins posted:

Note there's a letter (an O) in col 4 for Len.
This indicates he's not at home, but is in the armed services - a C would indicate he's elsewhere in Canada, and an O that he's overseas.

Janet - Canadian public records are notoriously difficult to access; they have very strict privacy rules.
In your opening post, you've said that you are in contact with the L.A branch - have they been able to tell you anything about the others?

Janet -

You added this death/burial record for Hilda on findagrave.
Does that mean she died as Cayley?
You say she remarried, but you don't know her surname - what does the gravestone say - Cayley or something else?
Or are you just giving her name as Cayley because you don't know what is on the stone?
If so, have you contacted the cemetery about it?
How do you know she's buried there?


Hilda Mary Cayley
in the Canada, Find A Grave Index, 1600s-Current
Name: Hilda Mary Cayley
Birth Date: 1909
Birth Place: Surrey, England
Death Place: Calgary, Alberta, Canada
Cemetery: Burnsland Cemetery
Burial or Cremation Place: Calgary, Calgary Census Division, Alberta, Canada


EDIT:
Someone named Linda Gibbs has a tree on Ancestry with a photo of Hilda.
It says she died in 1958 - but no source quoted. And doesn't mention a second marriage - which of course doesn't mean she didn't have one.

Hilda was born in Croydon Surrey UK in 1909 to Leonard and Elizabeth Mary Cayley nee Saunders. Leonard was killed in France in 1916 and buried there.
In 1911 they emigrated to Alberta Canada had a child Doris born 1912,
have found decedents of Doris in L.A. but now looking for Hilda's we know that she married Robert Reglin and they had a daughter D M Reglin born about 1930 she went by the name of Marion
Marion married and had 2 sons but their surname unknown ?????

Also Hilda remarried after her divorce from Robert her married name unknown ??????????? <3
