1891 Census of Canada
Guysborough
You may want to have a good look at all the Pelley's listed on the 1891 census as I think they are all related in some way or another and it appears that all of the ones aged over 22 were born in Newfoundland. That may be the reason the births are not showing up on the Nova Scotia Genealogy site.
