Seeking information on William NEGUS b.abt.1867 New Brunswick(poss. River Glade). William was s/o John NEGUS(1819-1899) and Harriet SMITH(1831-1885). Have not seen him in N.B. or N.S. census and is the only one out of ten children I have not located info on.

Did you follow up on the information reply 3 given by Jacquie In Canada  ???

There is a William Negus listed on the 1920 and 1940 US census in Huntersville, West Virginia that ticks some of the boxes. The 1920 census is mistranscribed to say he was born in the US but it looks like NS to me. Here's a link to the 1920 census (line 27):

and the 1940 census (line 55):

It's not him. William's year of birth,according to New Brunswick census,was about 1867(except for Frank and John,all children were born in New Brunswick).The William Negus in the record has a birth year of 1851,when my g-g-grandfather John was born in England.
