I am looking for Cornelius Bice and somewhere in Cornwell he left for canada anyone with idea how I start searching like ship departer and census around 1881 or 1891 thanks.
-
1881 census is free and online at www.familysearch.org.
Some previous Cornwall census at freecen.rootsweb.com
If you ask on the lookup requests for 1891, giving name, age, and any other details you can find from certificates/census; then someone on here may find him for you.
Passenger lists seem to be most commonly listed by arrival ports in the destination country. Any idea when he changed countries? Is he on the 1891/1901 Canandian census?

Have you found anything on freecen.rootsweb.com?
Cornelius Bice does not appear on the England 1861 or 1871 census index.
Is this him on the 1881 canada census?

If it is, it certainly implies that he was also there in 1871 and probably for 1861 too.
Perhaps with additional information we may be able to direct you in your search.

Hmmm - 1881 has them as 'Biel', I think:
Cornelus Biel, 40, german, reformed baptist
Leah, 31
Elizabeth, 11
Laura, 9
M. Mary, 8
Anne, 4
Nelson, 9M
In Uxbridge, Ontario North, Ontario. All b. Ontario. You should look for baptist church records/ontario provincial records.
Leah Shaver is in Uxbridge in 1851:

Father William from the US, mother Elizabeth (nee Pipher) and siblings all b. Ontario.
http://www.ogs.on.ca/ogspi/7/o049a300.htm#082 - here are that family (minus Leah) in 1871.
http://www.ogs.on.ca/ogspi/7/o049a201.htm#125 - Cornelius and Leah, now he's listed as Canadian/English ethnicity.
http://www.ogs.on.ca/ogspi/8/o133a101.htm - there is here a William Bice originally from Pickering, in Uxbridge in 1881. A Nelson Bice b. 1811 lived in Pickering for many years - could be a link there?
-
there seem to be quite a few BICE listed as born Cornwall on the GenesReunited.com website .
May be worth you trying there aswell.
