You can check the 1871, 1881 and 1891 census for him and family. They appear to be in the Hamilton area and he is a merchant. You can view original documents using pdf or jpeg

I couldn't find the family on the 1871 or 1881 census, they could be mistranscribed

1891 living in Hamilton
1901 Family less the wife Ellen, but he is down as married not widowed
1911 found the son Alfred still living in Hamilton but not the parents.

In 1881 Hamilton, Wentworth as Eibersaw but it looks like Emberson to me
http://data2.collectionscanada.gc.ca/e/e328/e008190596.jpg

Alfred  age 28 / Pedlar/ He & all children are Church of England / but Ellen Catholic
Ellen EIBERSAW age 30   Irish origins / she and all children born Ontario
Elizabeth  12,  Louisa 7,  Alfred 5,  James 3,  Mary Anne 2

James Emberson birth  May 0, 1877 —Hamilton, Wentworth, Ont
Parents: Alfred Emberson & Ellen Smith

Alfred Emberson birth Feb 17 1875 —Hamilton Ont Canada
death    Mar 16 1927 —Wentworth, Ontario, Canada
parents: Alfred Emberson & Ellen Fitzgibbons

Now I get the Smith surname but not the Fitzgerald/Fitzgibbons

It would be nice if Spall came back to the thread to let us know if this is the correct Alfred Emberson or not.
