1851 Census Wilmot Twp - Waterloo County

1851 Census Wilmot Twp - Waterloo County
Information
1851 Census of Canada has Thomas and Elizabeth living in Wilmot Twp., Waterloo Co., Ontario. All of the children born to date are present, except Mary and Margaret who died young. This document also confirms Thomas' birthplace as the USA, and Elizabeth's as Ireland.

We also find, almost next door, a family of Fosters. There is a Christopher and Mary Foster, 45 and 37, from Ireland, farmers. Living in the household are Richard Coyn, 45 and a laborer (hired help?), and then Mary, James, Neilson, and Catherine Foster, all children. The children were all born in Canada.

We know that Elizabeth Foster's parents were Christopher and Catherine; however, I believe this Christopher is potentially her brother and his family. Other records will need to be found to solidify this.
