OntarioGenWeb's Ontario Census Project - 1861 West Nissouri Township, Middlesex County Census

James Brown age 21, is off by 1 year, born 1839, and he would be my GGrandfather who migrated to Michigan about
1870/1880, and died in Detroit. Married Harriett Cooley and had 7 children in Michigan.
His brother Thomas, age 7- above, came to Michigan and owned property in Huron County in late 1800's; James (Jr.)
and family live in the same house in 1900 and 1910, while Thomas moved into Bad Axe, MI.
Their brother, Ben, age 20- above, married Mary Matilda Kriner/Criner/Kryner and migrated to Sanilac County, Mich. about 1871, had 7 children.

Above is the Probyn family I have connected with:
Sarah Probyn, nee Brown is sister of James, Thomas, Benjamin Brown and is my GGreat Aunt. Sarah (Brown) Probyn's mother
(Mary Brown), age 68, lives in the Probyn home.
Mary Brown, b. abt. 1813: Her death notice says she was born Dumfriesshire, Scotland; she died in Ontario, Can.
Several questions: about the difference in Sarah (Brown)Probyn's mother's name- 1861 it is Sarah; in 1881 she is Mary.
Also, the difference in stated birth places. England/ or Scotland.


I have no documentation, though, for any of the above, that connects them to me.
