I have information on a Thomas Pearson from the 1871 census for Caistor Twp, Lincoln Co., Niagara, Ontario and from the 1891 census for Ellice, NWT. In both cases Thomas is born in Scotland and his wife Maria is born in Ontario. The information about children tallies with one exception. I believe they are the same person.
In the 1871 census Thomas is listed as 46 (born 1825) and in the 1891 census he is shown as 60 (born 1831).
I have no other information on him, unfortunately.
