Thank you for looking this up for me.

I believe he had a music store and manufactured harmoniums (I think they are called).    Its sad to read about the two extra children - all in all they seem to have lost about 5 children in infancy.

Harmonium would kind of fit with what was written on the census.

Thanks Ian,

I had missed the christenings.  The whole family has been hard to pin down.  I suspect that most of the immigrated during the latter part of the 1800s.
