Sophia Brown
« on: Monday 01 February 21 11:11 GMT (UK) »
I can find an entry for Sophia Brown in the 1871 Census living with her husband and children in Clarke Durham Ontario. She is 40 yrs old and from Ireland.
Could someone check the next census to see where they are?
Thank you

If her husband was Richard then yes.  If not who was he.  The more info you can provide helps. 

Here is the link for all the Census https://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/census/Pages/census.aspx

Could this be your Brown family?  Husband Andrew?

Hi - looks like the husband is Andrew in 1871

1871 census ... in Clarke, Durham.

Sarah Brown 17, born Ontario
John Brown 13, born Ontario

https://central.bac-lac.gc.ca/.item/?app=Census1871&op=&img&id=4396302_00477

But, I can see a Sophia Brown with a Richard Brown - both 71, born Ireland in Clarke in 1881

Thank you. Yes it's Sophia with Andrew that I am interested in.
Would there be any documentation that would have asked for her maiden name?
