Hi. I'm not related to this family. Are you sure William was born around 1890? This might be them in 1916:

In 1881 the family is living in Montague, Lanark, and William is listed as William A. Agnew, b. 1874

Not sure if this is your family. Can't prove it. But, it's a lead. Hope this helps. Annie
