I guess this is the person you are looking for as no dates are given.


DEATH
Eleazer Lewis, d 12 Apr 1869, aged 77, Pennsylvania USA, Quaker, informant J W Collins of Whitchurch.
That means he was born c1792.
He was a Quaker and some of their records are on line.
Son Eleazer was 33 on 1861 census so they were in Canada by 1828.
Pennsylvania has good genealogy records. Try the Quakers in penn for records

Thank you, that's the right man. I'm trying to locate his parents who died when he was 5yrs old. I have been searching through old letters written by my great grandmother.

thanks again
