Hi,
I'm trying to find information on Ayerst family. All I have at the moment is information from the 1881 Canadian census for Toronto. Head of family is Francis (or Frank) Ayerst, age 22, born in England. Wife is Margaret Ayerst (ne้ Carrigan), age 20, born in Ireland. Son Francis Perry Ayerst, age 9 months, born in Ireland. Any information on dates, place of birth, parents etc of Margaret Carrigan and son greatly appreciated. Presumably they married in Ireland and emigrated to Canada sometime late 1880 or early 1881.
Thanks Dave

Looking at the Canadian Census I believe that Francis Perry AYERST was born in Canada
The census shows an "O" for Ontario
He was born with twelve months in June (1880)
He died on Jan 11 1889 aged 8 years and 6 months
There is a Frank ARGAST on the 1871 census in Addington, Ontaria aged 12 which if Francis Snr would imply that he married in Canada rather than Ireland

So... where does the 1881 Canadian census for Toronto. Head of family is Francis (or Frank) Ayerst, age 22, born in England. Wife is Margaret Ayerst (ne้ Carrigan), age 20, born in Ireland. Son Francis Perry Ayerst, age 9 months, born in Ireland come from??.

OK thanks for the try, back to the drawing board

I would say it was misread as the child's name is below his mother's and she is shown as Ireland
he is shown as "O" and could be misinterpreted as ditto

Family search shows Francis Perry Ayerst born in Ireland, however I agree that copy of actual census shows he was born 'O' which I agree is Ontario.

Again, in case you don't have the following (and are interested in the Carrigan's):
1891 York West, Ontario, Canada Census
Frank Ayrst, age 31, born England, Teamster
Maggie (wife) and children Bertie (son) and Gertrude (daughter).
Shown right under their names is a
Thomas Corrigan, age 19, relation to head of family: Board, born Ireland, Religion - RC; Brush Maker
Could this be Maggie's brother or other relative?
