MATTICE
Ephrim, age 29, farmer, born Ontario, Dutch, W. Methodist

** this census index only has head of households listed. I do not have access to the census image.

I found a connection of sorts to the William and Rebecca Cairns listed with James and Eliza family in 1851.
ONTARIO DEATHS
William Cairns, died Feb. 20, 1893 Osnabruck, Stormont, ON
age 85 years 11 months 11 days
farmer
born City of Quebec March 9, 1807
Methodist
Cause: infalmation of bladder
Informant: E.E. Mattice, Lunenburgh

ONTARIO DEATHS
Rebecca Cairns, died Aug. 14, 1885, Osnabruck, Stormont, ON
Age: 85 years
farmer's wife
Born: New York state
Methodist
Cause: Erysipilas - 12 days (that is what the word looks like to me)
Informant: Rev. J. Webster

** all of the entries on the same page show the same informant.Hard to know how they relate, but perhaps William was a brother to James as he is too young to be James' father.

Do you have death records for Altha and Ephraim, as I can send you a copy if you need it?

Carolyn L.
