Sandra, William McQuay (b:1846) is the son of William McQuay (b:1810) and Catherine Foster. He married Elizabeth Jane Ferris. I appreciated you looking in the Canadian records, but I have the information of the family here in Canada; I was looking for information about the Foster and McQuay families in Ireland.

Looking for the parents of William McQuay and/or Elizabeth Ferris.

You were looking for the parents of William McQuay and Elizabeth Ferris on the Canadian board, therefore it is presumes you do not have them on census in Canada - I have given you the Canadian census with the parents in Canada, as this is the Canadian board. In future please be more specific, then people don't waste there time giving information you already have.
Some of your other posts have not been acknowledged and there is a noticeable lack of "thank you" to RootsChatters who are trying to help you  ;D

Sandra, how did you pull-up the "Eliza Jane Ferris with parents and siblings on 1871 Census Proton Ontario"? I tried searching the database on Library and Archives Canada, but I can only find Thomas Ferris. It doesn't show the household.

Here is the image from Library and Archives Canada.....

If you don't have an Ancestry sub, most public libraries now subscribe to Ancestry. Ancestry is also usually available through Family History Centers (the familysearch folks). This would give access to images of records.
