Thanks for the welcome. I'm new to genealogy.
In 1851 census, James (76) (widower) was living in rural Huntington Twp, Hastings County, Ontario, Canada. (Just west of the current hamlet of Ivanhoe). He was shown as a farmer....but I presume anyone living on a farm was considered a farmer.
The 1851 census shows his son, James Jr (26) is on the farm next door. Also his daughters (Jean (Jane) (25) and Janet (Jannet) (23) appear to have married brothers (Harvey's) and living on the farm on the opposite side to their father.
In 1851 Jame's son William was also in Hastings County working as a laborer.
Census shows children born in Canada were John (15) and Chistiannah (Christie Ann) (13). (Note John's tombstone would indicate he was born in 1838 ...died 1860 at 21 years 10 months but I am convinced it is accurate).
Members of Janet Archibald's family are also in Hastings County in 1851 nearby. (within a few kilometres)
Lastly, John, Jane (and husband), Janet (and husband) are buried in the Archibald family cemetery (head stones clearly visible) in Hastings County. I speculate/think Janet Archibald (and if so, I presume James Sr) is also buried there but the head stone has become illegible. I hope some day to be able to prove this.
I hope this helps.
