The 1861 census gives the head of a household's name, and the head is usually the oldest Male in the household. There is a household with a head of Michael Clancey in the sub Prospect sub district of Halifax. There are 2 Michael Clancey's this could pertain to, Michael b. 1784 or Michael b. 1808. It is believed but not possible to prove that the head of the household of Michael b.1784 but that he is living with his son Michael's family

Hypothetically, based on the above theory this would make the household, comprised of: though this doesn't put a hypothetical name to all of the people in the household, but I also think Michael b.1784's other sons and there small families might also be living in the same household as well as this time, but this needs more investigation. 1.
