Hi comfort,

There is an index to the heads of households of the 1871 census, but I don't see your Bejamin on it.

Was he living in Canada and part of a Canadian militia, or was he posted here temporarily at a British fort?  If he was here with the British army, I'm not sure that they got recorded on the Canadian census.   

Civil BMD registration started in Ontario in 1869, so little Elizabeth would have just missed that - but again, if her father was here with the British Army they may have done their own registrations anyway and so it wouldn't appear in the Ontario records (British overseas registrations). 

Sorry I can't be of more help    Is there anything else we can look up for you?

hi
thank you for trying to help,
i have no idea what they were doing there,
i only know that the daughter was born there and then they were back in england,
so there isnt much to go on,
but thank you once again
patricia,

I know it's been awhile, but could this be your Benjamin?
