Hello
I am hoping that someone might "know" this family from the 1871 Census

Citing this Record:
"Canada Census, 1871," index, FamilySearch (
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:M4QT-V8F : accessed 11 May 2015), David Larmer, Bruce, North Bruce, Ontario, Canada; citing p. 19, line 2; Library and Archives Canada film number C-9936, Public Archives, Ottawa, Ontario; FHL microfilm 4,396,612.
With him are his sons: William age 19, James age 17 and Robert age 13.
I can't find any of them in the 1861 Census and I believe that David passed away in 1876 (I can't find it on FamilySearch but I recall seeing it earlier on Ancestry at the library). His death registration held no clues to where his children were or who his parents were.
My interest is because I have great, great, great grandparents named William Larmour and Margaret Pink. They had a son named David Larmour born 1820 in Ireland. The whole family arrived in Canada in1830. The two oldest sons (David Larmour and James Currie Larmour) are mysteries. One hint (that maybe nothing) comes from a turn of the century book that states that David went to New York and that James died near the Bruce Copper Mines.
http://www.ourroots.ca/page.aspx?id=887020&qryID=54c...I have never found trace of David in New York or James in Australia or Bruce, Ontario. SO I am wondering if the book mixed it up and David went to Bruce, Ontario where he died?
Any help, advice or clues would be greatly appreciated.
