George Gleghorn/Cleghorn, Ontario

[Jomot]

I've been searching for some time for George Collier, born 17 Sep 1840 South Shields, Durham, England to parents Thomas Collier & Isabella Gleghorn.

I have him on the 1851 census in Newcastle upon Tyne (aged 9) and then breaking into a school in 1854, but after that he vanishes.

There is a possibility that he may be the George Gleghorn, born c1842 South Shields who is in the 1861 census at Shorncliffe Camp, Kent, serving in the 1st Battalion 16 Regiment Of Infantry (Foot).

From the newspapers, this regiment travelled to Canada in 1862, and in 1871 I've found the following family in Lambton, Ontario:

George Cleghorn 29 Engineer b England - CofE
Catherine 24 b East Indies - Catholic
Isabella 4 b Ontario - Catholic
May 2 b Ontario - Catholic

In 1881 they are in Embro/Oxford North, but the youngest daughter's name has changed and they are all CofE (as Clighorer on FindMyPast:
George Cleghorn 40 Labourer b England
Catherine 33 b East Indies
Isabella 14 b Ontario
Catherine 12 b Ontario

I can find no more trace of the Cleghorns, other than on online tree which says that Isabella married Robert George Shaw around 1882, and died in 1887 in Lambton, Ontario as Bella Shaw.

Any help in tracing George & family after this would be greatly appreciated.
