Hi Mich, not sure if this is any help or more confusion but found a birth for

Denis Kane
Date of Birth:  February 27, 1884
Father:  Patrick Kane
Mother:  Annie Hobbins
Occupation of Father:  Labourer
Peterborough, Ontario

Also found a death registration for Patrick Kane and the information was his son-in-law a Mr. Heffernan in Peterborough.  The Heffernan's came to Peterborough from Ireland with the Peter Robinson settlers.  Perhaps the Hobbins were amongst the Robinson settlers as well?

Who all came to Canada in a little row boat, clap clap, clap your hands!!

No Hobbins on the list of Peter Robinson Settlers  :(

http://www.pcma.ca/robinson.htm

It seems Ellen was a widow for quite some time.  There is a Heads of Household Index for the 1871 census here and she appears as Helen Hobbins, in Ashburnham Village (same as in 1881).

I used to live in Peterborough.  Ashubrham village is the part on the East side of the Otonabee River, which runs through the middle of modern Peterborough.  Ashburnham used to be it's own "entity". 

There are a few Catholic churches on both sides of the river which they could have attended.  I can't seem to find out much about catholic church records for that time period.  The cathedral for the diocese is in Peterborough and here is the Diocesean web site http://www.peterboroughdiocese.org/  Not much use though. 

A lot of local records are held at the Trent University Archives (my alma mater - yay!) - but there was no mention of Hobbins in their genealogy collection.  But I just did a very quick search.  http://www.trentu.ca/library/archives/

Hope that helps somehow Mich!!
