Information on Henry C. Johnston - Toronto

[Janice M]

Hoping someone can help.

I am hoping to find some information on:
Henry Carson Johnston
Birth: 1860 -
Northern Ireland
Parents: William Johnston & Mary Carson
1881 Census - Glasgow, Scotland Occupation - labourer
1888 July - Marriage - Lilley McKinley
1889 - Son William born - Scotland
1891 - Daughter Jane born - Scotland
1891 Census - Glasgow, Scotland Occupation - Photographist Artist
1901 - Can't find him anywhere
1909 - Immigrated to Canada
1911 Census - living at 18 Mutual Street Toronto Occupation Candymaker(?)

On the 1911 Census, I can't make out if he is a widower or not. His wife is not listed, nor are his children.

He had several brother's and sister's: James, Mary, William, Martha, Elizabeth and Robert. It is not known if any of them immigrated to Canada as well.

I would love to have details of immigration and/or death. He has been our brick wall for years, as we thought he immigrated to the U.S before 1900. I have just recently found him on the 1911 Census for Canada.

Thanks for any help.

Harry and Jean Alderton can be found in Owen Sound in the 1911 census.  They have a daughter born 1910 - her birth registration would not yet be available (only up to 1907 is public - a new year is released each year).
