Notes:
1. The 1861 census for Toronto records Samuel as a horse-drawn cab driver, with his Irish-born wife Anna and children Anna Jane (age 9), Elizabeth (5) and Samuel John (3).
2. The 1901 census records Chamond in Ottawa working as a tailor, with his wife Matilda. He might have had a previous wife called Ellen.
3. As suggested by a correspondent of Sheila’s, which appears to be incorrect. There is no matching baptism at Launcells, Stoke Damerel or Stratton.
