Religion? wife's name? were the children born before he went to Canada? when was he born & married?

The 1831 census for Co.Londonderry is online but only lists head of household so although there are 3 listed as David Jackson he could actually be in someone else's household. All 3 households are Presbyterian- Movenis townland (2 males, 2 females), Blaugh (3 males, 1 female), Carrick (2 males, 4 females). http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/
