• Notes

  THe precise birthdate (day, month, year) is recorded in the 1901 Census of Canada as 21 April 1837 "on ocean". This is suspicious for a few reasons: 1. His date of arrival in Canada is given in the same 1901 census as 1839. If this was on the voyage to Canada the voyage length is too long. 2. Ages in the various census records varies: 1851 Census: 13 implies a birth year of 1838 or 1839 1861 Census: 21 implies a birth year of 1839 or 1840 1871 Census: 29 impies a birth year of 1840 or 1841 1881 Census: 40 implies a birth year of 1840 or 1841 1891 Census: No record 1901 Census: 21 April 1837 3. His parents were married in Cornwall, England on 19 Mar 1839. THis makes a birthdate of 1839 or 1840 much more likely. His following sibling Esther was born March 1841 in Canada. Most likely is April 21 1840 at sea, this would be 13 months after the marriage of his parents in Cornwall, and 12 months before the birth of his sister Esther in Canada.
