My Grandpa Stanley has the hanky in his pocket

Hi there,
I have searched and searched and searched and I still cannot find my gr gr grandmother in the 1901 
I might be trying so hard, that it's right in front of my eyes  So....
Sophia Bowman born c1833 sometimes she's born in England another time in Ontario. Her husband is Benjamin Bowman, but I can't find a death for him so I have no idea when he died, altough I do have Sophia living with her daughter and son in lawn in Ingersoll in the 1911 and that is where she died in 1927.
I've no idea where she could be living in the 1901, I can't find my gr grandfather for that matter  , her son John Wm. Bowman born c1872. He was born in Fenelon Falls, Ontario, but dies in Guelph, Ontario in 1918.
Any help greatly appreciated!!
Thanks,
Karen

HI everyone,
Indal. I'm not sure if she would have gone back to UK as I'm not even sure if she was born there 
JJ, Benjamin was a Millwright on the census, 1871 & 1881, I've got the 1861 somewhere, but for the life of me I can't find it. Benjamin's family is from Dundas County, Ontario (Morrisburg area).
Polarbear, they sure are  Hmm, Alice, I can't seem to find her in the 1901 either?
Karen

Ach, Can't find any of them, McDougalls or Bowmans...Looked down some surname lists as well...no can find yet...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Margery's birth is on LDS site as being Dec. 1896, Fenelon Falls ( says Feneton & Findlay is spelled Findlay )
So they were there just a few years prior to the 1901...but can't find anything in Victoria county either
and...Although down as Alice on the 1911 she seems to use Maud on several things, so she may be found as Maud...But then her husband's forename of Findlay isn't widely used...even if mistranscribed their names are all easy to spot...and I've been stumped.
Any chance they are All visiting elsewhere...Family reunion no doubt! 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Interesting...
I was looking at the pdfs for F.Falls and did find this fellow...line 3
a John Ellis who is a lumberman...May just be coincidence but posting anyway...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Not with sister Jane Maynard ....Did you look into the other sister Mary Eliza Wilson ( husband Archibald.)..There are several & I don't know her age

Hi Polarbear,
I have no idea when exactly John Bowman married, (I havn't been able to find their marriage) having said that the first child, Joseph John Bowman was born August 1, 1903 in Guelph, Ontario.
John Wm. Bowman married Mary/May Heffernan.

Your Sophia is proving to be a very elusive lady. Have had no luck either and I have tried every census that I can think of. Found Benjamin on 1851 census for Williamsburg Twp, Dundas age 21.
Perhaps Sophia just got missed on 1901 or maybe they were not living in Canada at the time. A lot of folks went to North Dakota and Michigan and then came back to Canada. Worth a thought.
Do you have Sophia's father's last name?
Hope you find her I'll take another look around sometimes our ancestors were not where we thought they were.
Good luck with your search.
Regards from snowy Calgary
Lilybell

Four households make an unusual amount of no shows from one family!
Benjamin & Sophia Bowman
Their son John William Bowman
(and it seems Mary Heffernan, as his wife, or single)
Their daughter Mary Eliza and her husband Archibald Wilson & children
Their daughter Maud Alice ( aka Alice Maud ) & husband Findlay McDougall & children

Oh Lilybell, have seen the weather out in Alberta, please keep it there as we finally have had some nice weather!!
I do have that death certificate thanks. I have no information whatsoever on Sophia, other than the death certificate and the 1871, 61, 81 and 1911 census. I can't find even a sibling for her, she must have had one at least, shouldn't she
JJ, I'm glad it's just not me that can't find them, I keep getting mad at them and giving up on them, but I do wish I could get something about her.
Thanks everyone for your help and confirmation that I'm not crazy in not being able to find her!! 
Karen
