This family was listed in the 1871 Census of Canada living in Halifax, Nova Scotia. John's occupation is listed as a merchant. John was born in Ireland. While his wife, Alice, was listed as being born in Nova Scotia, several other references indicate that she was born in Newfoundland.

In addition to John, his wife and five children,it appears that his wife's nephew, William T. Laurence (of Sarah), 10 years old, born in the US, was living with them. They also had a servant named Mary Fitzgerald. This event was shared with Alice SAUNDERS.

2. Occupation: Merchant, 1871 To 1881, Halifax, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. ^8614,8615

3. Census, 1881, Halifax, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. ⁸⁶¹⁵ Kevin Reddigan's notes:

This household was much the same as in the 1871 Census, except for some age differences. In particular, John Sr., a merchant, was again listed as being born in Ireland but his age was recorded as 55 years, making him about five years younger that he was per the 1871 Census. His wife, Alice, was listed correctly in this census as being born in Newfoundland. Alice's nephew, William T. Laurence, was no longer living with them and their maid was now a woman named Mary McDonald. This event was shared with Alice SAUNDERS.
