JOHN MICHAEL is seen but only once on record for the Canada Census, 1871, St. Vincent, Simcoe, Ontario, Canada. He was 11 years old and residing in his parents' home.
The utter record silence for him post 1871 indicates he must have died before the next Census cycle. No records found for him after the Census entry. However, there is a more contentious, and speculative issue. "John" is not the name that appears on the Census, but rather, Michael. "John" appears to have been an entered but unsupported given name.
