You are unlikely to find anything about the trip to Canada. As an English colony, there was no need for records such as were kept for entry to the USA. But have a look at Olive Tree Genealogy website - they specialise in Canadian material of that period. Another possibility is that they travelled through the USA to reach Canada. The lakes were used as roads, with regular services along the coasts. As to the names, have you checked the original record to see what is recorded for the entry above? Sometimes the scribe used the same names twice rather than the actual name, having lost his place copying up from notes. I've done it myself when doing a transcription.

Thanks, I'll check Olive Tree, I might be lucky. The microfiche record is extremely difficult to read, I printed it out in black on white and white on black, but I'm pretty sure it does say Charles and not George (I have it in front of me now). I maybe should have asked to see the original, but as both the IGI and I myself thought it was Charles, I didn't think it worth looking. I did wonder if Charles could have been godfather and they got the names mixed up, but it's likely that in trying to prove he was out of the country and couldn't be the father, I will also be proving he could equally not be godfather, as I'm sure that George had siblings much closer to home who could fill the role!!
