Thank you,  J.J.
Indexed as Joseph Burgers on A*try 

I'm enjoying this 

Found that James's sister Margaret m. Albert Martin in 1905 and they're living next to brother Samuel in the 1911 in Vancouver.

Still not found anything on sister May E (b. May 1876)

Hi again 

Looking at the 1881 census Wood & Medora, Muskoka, Ontario(District 131, Sub-d D Page 22 Household 104), there are a few more cousins!

Euphemia Burgess, 18 (circa 1863)
Catherine W, 13 (circa 1869)
Donald, 10 (circa 1871)

Also, May E on the 1901 is down are Mary E, aged 4

I'll see if I can find anything more on these three.
