Hi Colin

I didn't find her in the Vital Records for Nova Scotia. Vital records there cover Births - 1864-1877, 1908 and Delayed Births - 1830-1908

Have you found her in the 1910 Scotland census? I didn't spot an Elizabeth Ferries born in Canada on the Scotland census - but that could just be me.

Nor did I find her in the 1901 Canadian census

Still trying to find Lizzies birth in 1895 although this date doesnt tie up with her death as according to the memorial card she was 29 & 1895 makes her 31.
