Great finds, J.J.!
Given other records, I suspect that the Charles as the father of Mary Ann s/b John. Also, the mother as McNulty could almost be McNeelly on the image.
There is a death of a Francis Seely 32 on 20 Dec 1899 in Renfrew that may be connected. It was registered by Mrs Francis Seely, so no first name, unfortunately. This man was a farmer and died of TB, which doesn't match the info given earlier. However...
Mary Ann is a Widow when she marries Edward Dubreuil. There was an Edward Dubreuil as witness to Mary's marriage to Francis. Perhaps the same Edward?
The children born to this apparent second marriage of Mary Ann that I found birth records for have Mary Ann McNeely (with a wide variation of spellings) as their mother.
Eligah can be found with this family group in the 1911 census on Ancestr*, indexed as Eliza Dubrell but the image is clearly Eligah. He is indexed as Eligal Dubrell at automatedgenealogy.com (free to use and original images are provided). It was common for children to take the surname of their stepfather when they were young. The other children would be half-siblings to Eligah.
A warm welcome to RootsChat, Town Hall

So, much food for thought....
