Hello Karen
This is interesting, this person has Bowman and Hefferman's in Rochester in 1890s.

With the missing US census for 1890 it doesn't help matters.

Well, there you go, they are all down there for the wedding!!! 
Actually, that might just be a prospect...
I wonder if the lady found her in 1911 with Alice....? seems likely as we have
all searched high and low using different methods...

Plus now you know John worked in leathers!
I can't get nos racine to work at all... I am not sure if they are just busy or what,
but even though I have a really fast and gutsy computer now ...so many
databases work less well than before...

Have you checked on the company of Green & Ellis who owned a sawmill
in Fenlon Falls? Being that many of your fellows seem to be lumbermen...
mentioned here...
http://www.ontariogenealogy.com/Victoria/history/fenelonpioneers2.html
also a peek into this 1871 household wouldn't hurt...
Ellis, William age 71, Farmer...born England
BRUCE SOUTH Sub-district: Culross (C) Div:1 p.49
Microfilm C-9934 / Ref RG31
Who knows might have a wife named Ann b. Ireland...

Thanks JJ, I'll have to follow up with that Green & Ellis, could be a lead.
In replying to another thread, I was thinking about my gr uncle Joe Bowman, who died in the Sanitorium in Kitchener. For some reason I didn't have his death certificate, so I brought it up on ancestry from 1932, well...... 
It lists his father, John Bowman born Rochester, New York and mother May Heffernan, Marden, Ontario (I knew that) The informant is my gr grandmother, May Heffernan/Bowman, surley to god she would know where her husband was born wouldn't she  She's also put "Scotch" for racial orgin. She also has her son as a maker of shoes.
LOL, think I'm going to call May's granddaughter (my mother ) and see if she can shed anymore light on this, but I'm sure I'll get the same old thing...."you just didn't ask back then"

Odd that she would put Rochester as place of birth...Might he have been born in the states, but registered in Canada? You do have a mixed bag of answers to sort through, don't you/
Hey, Our roots, worked perfectly for me just now....
I imagine you know most of what's in here, as you have so much family history on the family in Ontario...but I know you will want to read it anyway, if you haven't already, as it is so interesting. Bowman surname mentioned...the author's middle name is Bowman as well...

I can never get Our roots to work for me I did at one point think my Bowman's could be UEL, they settled in the Morrisburg area of Ontario which had a huge UEL presence. I went to Upper Canada Village a couple of years ago, was really neat. I also went to see the woman who has done a ton or work on the UEL. She actually helps you apply for UEL status, getting all your birth certificates in order and everything, quite impressive really. She had lots of information on my Bowman's, but of course had nothing on Benjamin (just my luck) I guess cause he had moved away, but all his siblings had stayed in the area.
As for putting her husband being born in Rochester, I don't know what she was thinking. Mind you, on my grandmother's marriage certificate she has her father being born in Smiths Falls instead of Fenelon Falls. There is one more birth certificate for a son of theirs that was born um, 1910 I think, hopefully there might be some information on it. My grandmother's birth was never registered and if you look it up on ancestry, it is a delayed statement of birth that my grandma filled out in 1971.
My mum knew nothing of her uncle being a shoe maker LOL, she said he owned a camera store, go figure . He was in the sanitorium for 3 years.

I can never get Our roots to work for me Sneak up on it one day when you don't really need it and it may work for you!
Ha! That's what happened yesterday, just tried it for the heck of it, and put in a few surnames, and there you go...
I still never got the one Janice gave you though...
Janice, your computer seems to like the contankerous databases....
As you know, Boot & Shoemakers, saddlers, rein & harness makers etc. all work in leathers...so there may have been another ancestor who taught them the trade...
Although an HBC voyageur all his young life, Hubby's ancestor took up Ferry work, then boot & shoe making...His sons took up ferry & also working with leather...
The just a few years ago we found out that his father in Quebec was working as a bootmaker
I find the occupations so interesting as well...Your bunch were quite versatile, it seems...
( also sorry, I know you were researching UER at one time, and thought they were...)
