I finally got the copy of his birth record. It lists his mother as Elizabeth Hill a Domestic Servant but no name or occupation is given for his father. This would confirm the suspicion that the baptism record was incorrect and that he was born out of wedlock to Elizabeth, the daughter of Richard Hill and Elizabeth Trezise. His birth date is April 21, 1877 at Roselidden Wendron in Cornwall. But unlike his baptism, he does not have a second name only Edward. The question still is what happened to him in Canada. The most likely candidate to date is the George Edward Hill living in Rapid City Manitoba who married Ellen Louise Bollman but I have nothing tying this man to the 4 year old Edward Hill in the 1981 census from Peel County Ontario with his (now known mother) Elizabeth. Is it possible he died in Ontario shortly after the 1881 census?
